Preventive Pet Care

Why Pet Vaccination Is Important

Vaccines are the single most effective tool for protecting your pet from life-threatening infectious diseases — whether they go outdoors or not.

Prevent Dangerous Diseases

Vaccines protect against rabies, parvovirus, feline leukemia, distemper and more — diseases that can be fatal even with treatment.

Prevention vs. Treatment

Treating a vaccine-preventable illness is significantly more expensive and stressful than a routine vaccination visit.

Protect Your Family Too

Zoonotic diseases like rabies can be transmitted to humans. Vaccinating your pet protects your entire household.

UAE Legal Requirement

Rabies vaccination is mandatory under UAE law for all registered dogs and cats. Required for travel certificates and boarding.

Abu Dhabi & UAE Vaccination Requirements
Rabies vaccination is legally mandatory for all dogs and cats registered in the UAE — and required for official pet travel certificates and government-issued pet passports. Our team ensures full compliance with current UAE regulations and will advise on renewal timelines.

“Vaccinations are the key to a long, healthy life for your pets — just like us, our furry friends need protection from dangerous diseases.”

— Dr. Davor, Head Vet, Best Pet Vet

The Examination Comes First — Always

The type of orthopaedic procedure — and whether surgery is needed at all — is determined only after a thorough clinical examination and the necessary diagnostics. Our senior veterinarians assess gait, joint stability, range of motion, pain response and neurological status before any treatment decision is made. Conservative management is always considered before surgical intervention.

FAQ

Common Questions About Pet Orthopaedics

Yes. Rabies vaccination is legally required for all registered dogs and cats in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE. It is also a prerequisite for official travel certificates, pet passports, and boarding facilities. Our vets ensure full compliance and advise on renewal timelines.

Yes — even fully indoor cats require core vaccines. Viruses like feline panleukopenia can be brought in on clothing or shoes. Rabies vaccination also remains a legal requirement regardless of whether your cat goes outside.

Ideally at 6–8 weeks of age. Puppies and kittens receive a series of vaccinations every 3–4 weeks until approximately 16 weeks, after which full immunity is established. As Dr. Davor says — prevention is always better than treatment.

Most core vaccines require annual boosters. Some formulations extend to every 3 years after the initial series. Rabies in the UAE is typically renewed annually. Our senior vets design a personalised schedule based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle.

Our focus is on delivering the highest standard of veterinary care, not on competing on price. Contact us directly for a full breakdown of our vaccination packages. Many clients find our quality-to-price ratio exceptional given the seniority of our team.

Yes. Best Pet Vet treats all exotic animals — birds, rabbits, reptiles and more. Most clinics in Abu Dhabi do not treat exotics; we specialise in them. Please call ahead so the right specialist is available for your companion.

Our in-house laboratory delivers complete blood work — CBC, biochemistry panels, cardiac markers and more — in under 15 minutes. If your vet needs to check your pet’s health before vaccinating, you will have answers before you leave the clinic.
