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.

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.

While dogs perceive colors differently than humans and other animals...
