I have been a loyal client of ABVC for the past 9 years, and I truly cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care they provide. When my beloved Dio fell ill two and a half years ago and sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, Dr. Mehdi, Dr. David, Dr. Marie Therese, Dr. Razan, and the entire team of nurses and admin staff went above and beyond to support my little one. They showed immeasurable love, compassion, and professionalism during the four months he bravely fought his illness. I will forever be thankful for their dedication and the comfort they provided during such a difficult time.Now, ABVC is caring for my sweet Freddie, and I have full confidence that he is in the same capable, loving hands. The joy and excitement that both Dio showed and now Freddie shows when walking into ABVC—greeting all the staff and giving hugs to the doctors—always warms my heart.The level of care they continue to offer is unmatched, and I couldn’t ask for a better team to look after my doggies. Thank you, ABVC, for everything!

Always a great experience. They’ve taken care of my special needs cat for years now, and they treat her like family… because she is. (I adopted her from there.) Best vet clinic I’ve been to yet. I always end up back there. ♥️

Been taking my dog here for 15 years. Dr Mehdi is terrific.

Dr. Razan is the best! She took great care of my dog Bella, took plenty of time with us, explained everything clearly, and was calm and thorough throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Highly recommend.

The best veterinary clinic in Dubai! Dr. Mehdi and Dr. Anna are truly exceptional, they genuinely care about your pet and take the time to conduct thorough check-ups. They avoid unnecessary medications and clearly explain what’s best for your dog’s health. This clinic will always be my top choice for veterinary care.

Just this month (May 2023) my 2nd bunny a female one had underwent spay surgery. And as a very anxious bunny owner whose known to all the risks of anesthesia I could say that I have given my trust to the right Doctor. He was keen to observe all the things needed. They do not care only for the pets but also for how the owner feels about their pet without any judgement. I speak for those who are looking for rabbit savvy doctors. And they have here especially Dr. David Arnau Perez. The vet tech and nurses and receptionists are so nice and well mannered, special thanks to Ms. Aida, Ash, Jane and Tin my bunny nurses Michael and the tall filipino guy sorry I forgot the name but he was there who assisted Ms. Pickl’s 2nd surgery. Thank you for helping us become better and responsible owners. Good job team ABVC.They have rabbit savvy vets! The staff are smart and accommodating. They understand how to deal with different types of pet parents and remain professional. Dr. David Arnau took care of my buck (male rabbit) neutered him as well. Really happy I entrusted my fur babies under their care.

Matty Peters

The staff are polite and helpful.

I recently took my pet Hazel to Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic for an entropion procedure, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Dr. Marie was exceptional—her expertise and care made all the difference for our beloved pet. A heartfelt thank you to her and the entire clinic staff for their professionalism and compassion throughout the process.I also want to extend a special thanks to Jenny for her kindness and support. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and informed. I highly recommend Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic for anyone in need of veterinary care!

Relocating our beloved Havanese, Kiwi, from Dubai to Auckland, New Zealand, was an incredibly intricate and demanding process. With six months of meticulous preparation, numerous approvals, and strict regulatory requirements, it was a journey filled with complexities and unexpected challenges. However, thanks to the outstanding team at Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic, everything was handled with precision and care. Kiwi has now safely arrived in Auckland and is currently at the quarantine facility, all thanks to their unwavering dedication.A heartfelt thank you to Ashlane and Dr. Ellen, whose expertise, professionalism, and genuine compassion made all the difference. Ashlane kept us informed at every step, addressing every concern with patience and efficiency, while Dr. Ellen and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure Kiwi’s health, safety, and comfort throughout the process. Their commitment turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and reassuring journey.Beyond their excellence in pet relocation, Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic has been Kiwi’s trusted vet, consistently providing top-tier care and support. Knowing that our pet was in such capable and compassionate hands gave us immense peace of mind.For anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and caring team to handle pet relocation—especially to challenging destinations like New Zealand—I highly recommend Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic. Their dedication and expertise truly set them apart.

These guys are the best in town!!! Human, no upselling strategies, on the higher pricing scale, but worth every penny of it. Dr David is the one to go!!

Maarouf Bekdash

Been going there since 2014, never failed me, always on point and gave me the right advice for my dog.Would always recommend

Ruqaiyah Khan

Im beyond grateful for Dr. David, Dr. Anna and every staff member who has been involved in Dream's recovery. I almost lost hope, but thanks to the team and doctors' efforts, he's recovering really well. Alhamdulillah 🤲🏼. Thank you so much!!

Soniya Kirpalani

Mischief, my yorkie was one of your first clients, 18 years ago. She lived to be a healthy 18 years old. Scooby, despite series of accidents and surgeries, lived for 17 glorious years, Maya is now 13 and doing well, so she is a happy client. The fact that they live such happy healthy lives is the biggest proof of the loving care you give our pets. So today, I bought my two new puppies, (still unnamed) to you. Thank you for caring.

Georges Oneissy

I had an emergency with my dog today, and ABVC was incredibly accommodating in arranging an appointment. Dr. Marie-Therese, as always, was kind, caring, and professional. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, conducted the necessary tests, and was very understanding of my concerns. I truly appreciate the top-notch service from this clinic and highly recommend them for their compassion and expertise

Mimi

Lovely crew and veterinarians. So blessed to have a nice cozy clinic next to me

Sahar El Choufi

Great staff and service! Dr. David really takes care of my cat and caters his service to each pets needs!

Pearl Edna

I took my cat to Dr. Marie Therese for his dental procedure. My cat is very anxious, and vet visits have always been a nightmare in the past. Dr. Marie Therese was very kind. She made some adjustments in scheduling blood tests during the earlier visit with the goal of making it easier on my cat by reducing his time spent in the clinic on the day of the treatment. After the dental cleaning we found that there was no need of any dental extractions. This clinic is by far the best in NOT recommending and doing unwanted procedures and tests. The whole process was seamless and as a bonus, their prices are reasonable.

Ahmed Lakhoua

Super friendly and efficient admin staff. Very knowledgeable, professional and reassuring medical staff. Great clinical and administrative follow up. The go-to veterinary clinical in the region. Cherry on the top, very affordable.

Maya Azar

I had a fantastic experience at ABVC in Al Barsha with Dr. Marie Therese and her assistant Geny. Dr. Marie Therese was incredibly professional, caring, and thorough in her treatment of my cat. She explained everything clearly and handled my pet with such compassion.What really stood out was how loving and attentive Geny was during the process. While Dr. Marie Therese was disinfecting my cat's paw, Geny was gently kissing and comforting her, which made the whole experience much less stressful for my pet.The clinic atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the animals they treat. I highly recommend ABVC to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care.Thank you Dr. Marie Therese

Edielyn Sicad

Their reception team is very pleasant. Thank you ABVC for the treats and thank you Dr. David for taking care of Stuart! Happy 20th Anniversary!

Hanan Hazeem

The best vet ever in Dubai

Elies Kurenfuli Costa

Very reliable and trustable veterinary.

Luc Margaritora de Barnier

Most probably the Best Clinic in town ! After 20 years of residence in Dubai as expatriate, I never seen a Vet Dr accepting to call another Vet Dr to share about a different approach about a treatment. Usually Dr don't argue together but respect and protect each others even when they know one of their peer made a mistake. Dr Hélène did so - in a very polite way - and just save our dog ! Now we are dealing with Dr Mehdi who is one of the most professional Vet Dr in town ! I hardly recommend this clinic to all people who need !

James Joel Reyes

My overall experience to this clinic was great! I thank Dr Anna Gulii for giving proper treatment for my 2 fur babies she is very professional upon the assesment and treatments, she gives extra care and she is also very understanding. It is away better from my previous vet clinic. I also love the team they are very helpful all of them are my kabayans. 10/10 satisfied client i will surely visit this clinic for my pets medical need. Thank you Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic! 🐱🐈❤️

Shibin George

This place has the best Doctor for bunnies..we brought our little boy here and he was treated with real care. David was the Doctor and he was really patient with our Jack. Super grateful to have a Doctor who is rabbit savy.

Byron Tudhope

Dr Razan was absolutely lovely with Douglas. She went above and beyond to ensure he is not scared. He usually would jump off the table with other vets but he was very much at ease with her. She is very knowledgeable and super patient. Aida from front desk was also wonderful and made the process so smooth. Highly recommended.

Joumana Es Said

I took my dog to ABVC this afternoon as the veterinary practice I usually go to was fully booked, and I had a minor emergency with my dog. My son and I were apprehensive about meeting a new vet but we had the best experience we could have wished for. Dr Rokas is extremely kind, showed empathy to both dog and owner, was gentle, patient and really worked on building trust with our dog - and in turn, with us too. He asked many questions to understand what had happened recently to cause the illness and was also keen to learn more about our dog’s usual habits when he is well. He went through the steps clearly and gave him the meds he needed, all while petting him to make sure the experience was as comfortable as it could be. I could not recommend Dr Rokas highly enough. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. Thank you.

Yara Dell

We had home visit by the doctor, all us and gods are happy:-)Quick, professional, convenient.

Events Salvaje

Dr. Razan and her team have been heaven-sent to my rescued foster dog, Saby, who was illegally being sold to people. She was critically ill during her first few nights due to an existing tracheal condition, but with the tender love and care of Dr. Razan and those around her, this brave little girl fought hard to survive. ABVC provided us with the best care. Though it's pricier compared to others, the clinic is one of the oldest and most experienced in the field. Once again, thank you, Dr. Razan, for giving Saby a new life, with hugs and kisses.

Our Border collie dog, Ebora, had pancreatitis and was hospitalized in ABVC. It was the best decision to bring our dog in ABVC. They took care of her and treated the illness. A big thank you to Dr. Razan and the whole team of ABVC for taking care of our Ebora. Best vet clinic out there. ♥️

I recently relocated my cat from Dubai to Auckland with the help of ABVC Pet Relocation, Al Barsha, and the experience was flawless! The team was professional, compassionate, and extremely organized. They handled all the paperwork and ensured my cat was comfortable and well cared for his longest & first plane ride. Their attention to detail and dedication to providing excellent service made the entire process stress-free. Highly recommend ABVC Clinic for pet relocations! Thanks Benedict, Ashlane, Dr. David & team.Banksy Soriano-Tumao & family

Omneia Kassem

Very detailed explanation and care to your pet. Appointment went on time

Zeid Ana

Wonderful Vet clinic professional and knows exactly how to treat the pets

Veronica Bukanova

Thank you to ABVC and especially Dr. Anna Gulii! She is an exceptional veterinarian who has gone above and beyond in caring for my cat, Rolex. When Rolex suddenly became lethargic and we were at a loss for what could be wrong, Dr. Gulii immediately identified the issue as high blood pressure and identified the associated fluid buildup in his eyes. Her expertise was evident as she efficiently diagnosed these conditions, even demonstrating his fluid buildup and slight retina detachment through an eye ultrasound to us. She explained everything in detail as well, which was incredibly insightful for us as pet owners. She was also very kind and gentle with my cat, helping him feel less vet clinic jitters, instantly putting him at ease.Dr. Anna recommended an easy treatment plan for Rolex, which helped almost immediately - he was back to eating and walking around that same day. She also noticed slightly elevated liver function markers on his blood work and recommended Renal Special cat food to prevent any liver problems in the future which Rolex has been enthusiastically eating since. Today, at our follow-up appointment, Rolex's blood pressure has stabilized completely, and his eyesight has almost fully recovered (100% recovery expected in a few days), as confirmed by another eye ultrasound revealing the cleared fluid buildup and properly positioned retina.I cannot thank Dr. Anna Gulii enough for her knowledge, compassion, and dedication to ensuring Rolex's well-being. Her clear communication throughout the process and genuine care for animals are truly commendable. If you're looking for a vet who not only diagnoses swiftly and accurately, but also cares deeply about your pet's health and recovery, Dr. Anna Gulii is the one to trust. With Dr. Anna your pets are always in kind, caring, expertly hands!

Oz Newcombe

As an mutli animal owner & pet carer, I was very nicely surprised by my visit today to ABVC, it was brilliant! We are caring for a cat, with we were told, Kidney failure issues, Cataracts, an eye discharge, and a bad case of chin acne which wouldn't respond to treatment. Dr Marie Therese, bid an amazing job reading through previous blood tests, finding mis- diagnoses, and treating eyes, ears and chin.... she said she was going to 'give us back a new cat', and she wasn't kidding. All this with a gentle yet professional demeanor. I've seen so many vets where borderline rough treatment is used when handling cats, but not here. She gave me in depth explanations about everything, and showed me how to do follow up treatment. I cannot recommend ABVC and especially Dr Maria highly enough (and her assistant who also did a great job). All this and a reasonable price for such highly specialized service.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !Thank you, from Oz and RayRay x

Jessamyn Fababeir

We visited ABVC today the second time for Bean's (our cat) vaccination and registration. Two weeks ago we came for his initial check up and deworming. Dr. Razan and the staff of ABVC were very nice and accomodating. It's our first time to have a cat and Dr. Razan helped us with the things we need to know like the quality of the food we have to give our cat. She's very gentle with Bean during the vaccination and microchipping process. One of the staff was also assisting her and he was also very helpful and gentle with Bean. I'm very thankful and happy that we chose ABVC. We highly recommend them for your pets. ~ Adam&Jessamyn 😊

Elena Giannattasio

We got great service from Dr Medi and the team! We would definitely recommend the practice

Dina M

We can honestly say words can not do justice for the amazing doctors, nurses, and admin team that are at ABVC. We unfortunately had an experience I wish for no pet owners. We had to rush our little baby to the Emergency, it did not look positive upon arrival. The doctors worked extremely hard to not only save our little baby's life but nursed her back to strength just in order to be home for the final few days to say her proper farewell. This alone was a miracle that we can not thank the ABVC team enough for. Dr. Anna and Dr. Rokas, just two amazing people let alone doctors who were by her side step by step. Their empathy while still delivering news that was not always positive is rare to find. They gave the right balance of showing they cared while still able to remain honest and practical during the whole experience. We can not thank you enough for getting us that time to say our proper goodbyes. The decisions you and the entire team made we are forever grateful. Rafael, Donna, Jenny and the others whose names we are forgetting right now. We have eternal love for you all for the way you took care of our baby when she needed it. Again words can express how grateful we are to you all. One more special comment for Dr. Anna who really made the difficult decision easy somehow. Compassion combined with professionalism is very hard to find, and again thank you from all of us. Last but not least the admin team. You guys always made it easy for us, even when we would come at all hours of the day. Always smiling and showing support. Again how this whole team made us feel comfortable and supported during such a difficult period, we had no choice but to write this review for everyone to know. This was not easy to put down as everything is still fresh, but the ABVC team is second to none. For anyone who is looking for a compassionate and caring team, all while being super efficient, please look no further.The Walli family

Estefa Pastor

The clinic has high standard professionals that look after your pets in the best way. It’s been 15 years I take my cats and they have been always treated perfectly, even went through several major surgeries. Dr. Mehdi is always there to explain and give you the best advices.

Ather Khan

Always great service, was searching for gastro cat wet food which was short in market. They called back when it came in stock and kept 4 boxes a side for me.Thanks again and keep up

Jameela Mauricio

We brought our cat to ABVC and Dr. Ana was extremely nice and knowledgeable, she answered all our questions and took her time explaining to us all we needed to know about our cat’s condition.Upon diagnosis our cat has pyometra so she needed to remove her ovaries and uterus which she informed us before the procedure. They had everything they need it to make a rapid and accurate diagnosis of our cat.So glad we have found this clinic, they really do go above and beyond for my cat. Thanks a lot.
