Animal Specialist Clinic in Dubai

One of the worst animal crises that an owner can encounter is their pet having breathing problems. While cat’s respiratory issues can be triggered by a variety of reasons, feline asthma is one of the most common breathing difficulties in felines. Most cat owners are not aware that cats can even have asthma. To manage their care it is essential to seek the best medical care in Dubai ( we recommend Animal Specialist Clinic 😉) Did you know Asthma affects 1% to 5% of all cats? Asthma cannot be diagnosed with a single test as other disorders that have symptoms that are similar to the symptoms of asthma such as heart disease, heartworm, lungworm, and respiratory infections must first be ruled out. How can you tell your cat might have asthma? They most likely will be wheezing, sneezing, coughing, or breathing heavily. Many cats bend their bodies near to the ground and extend their necks forward in a characteristic posture during an asthma episode. Signs your cat most likely has asth...

Aging is a natural process, and all dogs reach senior status at some point. What’s crucial to remember is that senior dogs demand different care than younger pets. A dog’s mobility declines as he matures, his hearing and vision deteriorate, and he becomes more susceptible to infections. Even so, growing old isn’t a death sentence for dogs, and they can live healthy and happy lives far into their golden years. 1. Proper diet Feed your dog well-balanced food rich in high-quality components in proportions that will help your furry friend stay in shape. 2. Keep you dog active Regular exercise will help keep your dog’s weight and overall health in check. Keep your expectations for activity intensity and duration reasonable, and consult your veterinarian. He is familiar with your pet’s health and restrictions, and can assist you in developing a safe exercise regimen. If necessary, he can also prescribe drugs to help your senior dog move more comfortably. 3. Vet care Regular veterinar...

Animal Specialist Clinic is a pet clinic in Dubai that cares about you & your pet’s needs. We’re here to share tips and tricks for taking care of your furbaby in the hot summer months. While summer is a wonderful time to spend with your pet, rising temperatures pose a greater risk to our pets, including more injuries, skin and ear infections, and the risk of heat stroke.

Dehydration is disaster This is one of the most straightforward strategies to avoid heat-related ailments during the summer. On warmer ...

Normally, when we think about grooming, we think about it as a makeover or a ‘glow-up’ as they say these days. However, when it comes to animals, grooming is so much more than that. Giving your pooch or kitty a makeover is always a fun experience especially when they come out smelling all fresh, looking cute and fluffy. However, regular grooming is a must as it has added health benefits. Another thing to keep in mind where grooming is concerned is that your pet’s grooming schedule will vary depending on the breed. Animal Specialist Clinic is your go-to vet clinic for affordable animal service in Dubai. Brushing Removing fallen and dead hair is a must as this helps to avoid the issue of overgrooming especially with cats. Overgrooming can damage your pet’s skin causing itchiness & hotspots. When it comes to dogs, being brushed is a way for them to bond with their owner. Brushing eliminates dandruff, dirt and dead hair from your pet’s body and in felines, it can lessen the number ...

It shouldn’t sound surprising, but animal dental care is just as important as our own. As humans, we’re no strangers to the discomfort and pain we experience when our dental health goes unchecked. We wouldn’t want that for our fur babies, especially as they cannot exactly tell us fur parents what they feel. Gone are the days when we thought brushing our dog’s teeth or getting them checked by a vet is impractical and unnecessary, if we even thought about it at all. Animal dental care wasn’t that much of a big deal until not too long ago. Fortunately, our knowledge of veterinary dentistry and pet oral health has expanded and we now know that having good oral hygiene is important for our furry friends as it can lessen the smell of their breaths, improve their wellbeing and extend their lives. It’s always a good idea to get in touch with a veterinarian and get their expert opinion (or do some mythbusting), but here are things you should look out for w...

It’s no secret that bringing a human child into the world is a huge responsibility. It’s hard work, compassion, and constantly adapting to problems you may face. The same can be said for fur, feather, and scaled babies, if not more difficult, as pets couldn’t possibly verbalize what they feel. So it’s difficult for even the most experienced animal parents to tell if they are actually in pain or discomfort! As one of the top veterinary hospitals in Dubai, we at Animal Specialist Clinic have made it our mission to provide the best medical care to any animal in need. This includes helping fledgling animal parents to pet gurus bridge the gap with their adorable critters through debunking some well-known myths. Here are some of them: Myth #1 Dogs only see in black and white Many people, even dedicated dog owners, still believe that dogs can only see the world through a perpetual state of a 1900s black and white movie. While dogs perceive colors differently than humans and other animals...
