Ongoing and follow-up care

Recovery and monitoring, without the trips

Post-operative checks, wound and dressing care, medication administration and chronic-condition monitoring — carried out at home, while your pet rests where it recovers best.

What's included

What ongoing care covers

Follow-up work that doesn't need a clinic, done where your pet is already resting.

!

Follow-up care works alongside whoever performed the original procedure. Bring any discharge notes or instructions from the treating clinic to the visit, so the vet can work from what was actually done.

Which pets

Who ongoing home care 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 recovering from surgery

Post-operative checks and dressing changes without loading a sore animal into a car and back out again.

Long-term conditions

Chronic conditions that need regular review, where the trips add up over months rather than one visit.

Owners who can't give medication

If tablets or injections at home aren't going well, the vet can administer them and show you what works with your particular animal.

!

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

Discharge notes and records

Anything the treating clinic gave you: what was done, what was prescribed, and what they asked you to watch for.

Current medications

A list or photograph of everything your pet is taking, including doses if you have them written down.

A quiet, well-lit room

Somewhere calm with good light. 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 recovery isn't going to plan

If a wound, a chronic condition or a response to treatment needs imaging, surgery or hospitalisation, the veterinarian will recommend referral rather than managing it at home.

If your pet deteriorates

Follow-up visits are scheduled, not on-call. If your pet gets suddenly worse between visits, go to an emergency hospital rather than waiting for the next appointment.

!

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

FAQ

Follow-up questions

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.

Can multiple pets be seen during one visit?

Yes. Multiple cats or dogs in the same household can usually be seen during one appointment. Please tell us in advance how many pets need to be examined and the reason for each visit. Additional fees may apply.

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.

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.

Need a follow-up arranged?

Send us what the clinic did and what your pet needs next, and we'll arrange the visit.
