Medical consultations

Something's wrong? We come to you

Assessment of skin, ear, eye, digestive, respiratory, urinary and other general health concerns — examined at home, where your pet is calm enough to be examined properly.

What's included

What a consultation covers

The concerns owners most often call us out for. If what you're seeing isn't listed, message us and we'll tell you honestly whether a home visit fits.

!

The veterinarian will take a history and examine your pet before advising on anything. If a diagnosis needs tests or equipment we don't carry, you'll be told plainly rather than guessed at.

Which pets

Who a home consultation works best for

Cats and dogs only

Pet Lovers treats cats and dogs. We don't currently see birds, rabbits, reptiles or other exotic pets.

Pets that hide symptoms at the clinic

A stressed animal at a clinic often won't show the limp, the itch or the behaviour you called about. At home, the vet sees what you see.

Anxious or hard-to-transport pets

Anxious dogs, cats that panic in carriers, and elderly or mobility-impaired pets are all examined without a car journey first.

More than one pet unwell

Several cats or dogs in the same household can usually be seen in a single appointment. Tell us how many and why when you book.

!

Please tell us before the visit if your pet has previously bitten, scratched, escaped, shown aggression or needed sedation at a veterinary appointment. The veterinarian may adjust or stop the examination if continuing would be unsafe.

Before we arrive

What to have ready

What you've noticed

When it started, what's changed, and anything that makes it better or worse. Photos or videos help a lot if the problem isn't happening right then.

Medical records and medications

Previous records if you have them, plus a list or photograph of anything your pet is currently taking.

A quiet, well-lit room

Somewhere calm for the examination. Keep cats in a secure room before we arrive; for dogs, have a collar or harness ready.

Honest limits

When a clinic visit is the right call

If advanced care is needed

If your pet needs X-rays, advanced imaging, surgery, oxygen therapy, hospitalisation or intensive monitoring, the veterinarian will recommend referral to an appropriate veterinary clinic or hospital.

If it turns out to be urgent

If the examination finds something that can't safely wait, you'll be told immediately and directed to an emergency hospital rather than managed at home.

!

Home visits are suitable for many consultations and treatments, but they do not replace hospital care when advanced support is required.

FAQ

Consultation questions

How much does a veterinary home visit cost?

House visits start from AED 99 depending on your location, and the visit fee is charged in addition to the services provided. A veterinary consultation is AED 150, and most vaccinations are AED 150 each.

Vaccination packages start from AED 450 and include the house visits. The full price list is on our services page, and the total for your appointment is always confirmed before it is booked.

Can you examine aggressive or very anxious pets?

Many anxious pets are calmer when examined at home. Please inform Pet Lovers before the visit if your pet has previously bitten, scratched, escaped, shown aggression or required sedation during veterinary appointments. The veterinarian may modify or stop the examination if continuing would be unsafe.

Do you bring medications?

The veterinarian may carry selected commonly used veterinary medications and treatment supplies. Availability depends on the pet's condition and the medication required. Some prescriptions may need to be dispensed or collected separately.

What happens if my pet needs X-rays or hospitalisation?

If your pet requires X-rays, advanced imaging, surgery, oxygen therapy, hospitalisation or intensive monitoring, the veterinarian will recommend referral to an appropriate veterinary clinic or hospital. Home visits are suitable for many consultations and treatments, but they do not replace hospital care when advanced support is required.

Do you offer same-day appointments?

Same-day appointments may be available depending on veterinarian availability, your location and the nature of the request. They are not guaranteed. Please contact Pet Lovers as early as possible to check availability.

Which areas of Dubai and Sharjah do you cover?

Pet Lovers provides home visits across most areas of Dubai and Sharjah. Availability depends on the exact location and veterinarian schedule. Please provide your area, address or location pin so the team can confirm availability.

This is not an emergency service

Pet Lovers is not a substitute for a fully equipped emergency veterinary hospital. Do not wait for a home visit if your pet has any of the following:

  • Severe difficulty breathing
  • Collapse or loss of consciousness
  • Uncontrolled bleeding
  • Major trauma
  • Repeated or prolonged seizures
  • Suspected poisoning
  • Severe abdominal swelling
  • Inability to urinate
  • Sudden paralysis
  • Extreme or uncontrollable pain

Proceed directly to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital. Do not delay emergency transport while waiting for a home-visit response. If you are unsure, message us with your pet's symptoms and we will advise whether a home visit is appropriate.

Not sure whether it needs a visit?
