MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARE

At GVC, we pride ourselves on our “Excellent Patient Care” approach.This means that whilst we practice the highest standards of veterinary medicine and surgery, the individualized care for the animal comes first.

We take our time when interacting with our patients, we consider their physical and emotional needs – this could mean putting them in a private room away from other animals or giving them that extra stroke or cuddle to re-assure them – whatever it takes to make them feel comfortable and at ease with us. They receive our undivided one on one attention and are not just a number in our day.

Our team of vets and nurses are extremely compassionate and caring as well as having solid qualifications, training, and experience, which makes our medical team one of the best, if not THE best in the region.

We offer and perform the full range of medical and surgical procedures and investigations– far too many to mention here – and are happy to discuss in detail
any medical concerns you may have.

ANAESTHESIA

Many of our clients are concerned about their pet undergoing anaesthesia or sedation.

We have extremely high standards when it comes to anaesthesia, especially as Dr Katrin, our clinic owner, holds the RCVS certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia. We recommend and routinely run pre-anaesthetic blood profiles and use the best in anaesthetic drugs, protocols, and monitoring equipment.

PET DENTAL CARE
– PET DENTIST IN ABU DHABI

Dentistry in pets is just as important as it is for humans. If your pet’s teeth aren’t brushed every day, they are more susceptible to developing plaque and tartar, which can lead to gingivitis and other more serious forms of dental disease. The bacteria which collect in the mouth can also enter your pet’s bloodstream and transfer to their vital organs, causing infection.

At GVC we recommend regular dental check-ups, and have the latest innovative equipment, a veterinarian (Dr Adrienn Fergelt) with a specialist interest in pet dentistry, and offer specialised dental procedures to offer you a high-end, sophisticated pet dentistry service. Services include:

BEST CAT BOARDING IN ABU DHABI

Do you need someone to look after your pet on a temporary basis, but are you feeling worried about finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after them? What if you could leave them in the capable and caring hands of your Gold Standard Cat Friendly veterinary team? The fully qualified GVC team offer a cat boarding service, so you can take a break and relax knowing that your cat is going to be looked after by veterinary professionals who will care for them just as much as you do.
Our flexible range of services treats every pet as an individual.

STRESS-FREE, CAT FRIENDLY BOARDING

The GVC Cat Boarding Facility can offer your cat a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, while you can relax knowing your cat will be looked after by a highly qualified team that genuinely cares for your pet.

 As the Middle East’s first Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic, we have made a commitment to offer high quality feline-friendly care and to treating cats as individuals. We can offer personalized options for each boarding suite to make your cat’s stay with us a happy and comfortable one:

Our caring and compassionate team understands that each cat has specific needs. We take the time to get to know your cat, and it is not unheard of for a particularly nervous or shy cat to spend their holidays in Dr Katrin’s office, helping her with her office chores!

MEDICAL CAT BOARDING

If your cat needs extra support, has a known illness or is on regular medication, we can offer a ‘medical boarding’ option where health checks and medications are administered by our vets and nurses daily. We can monitor your cat for any changes in their wellbeing, so that you can relax and enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

CAT BOARDING ESSENTIALS

The health and wellbeing of all cats in our care is of the utmost importance to us. All cats accepted for boarding with us must meet the following requirements before entering our facility:

CAT GROOMING

At GVC we know that “Cat Grooming” should reflect the Cat Friendly and Fear Free principles that are so very important to the health and wellbeing of our feline friends. Grooming is an important aspect of natural feline behaviour and, when we interfere in the cat’s natural grooming process this can impact:

For these reasons the team at GVC believe that cat grooming services such as shaving/bathing/assisted cleaning are only beneficial when they are either not going to negatively impact these key aspects of cat welfare or when grooming is necessary for medical reasons. In short, this means that cat grooming is not delivered as a cosmetic service.

GVC offers assisted cat grooming as a medical procedure for cats that either struggle to groom themselves or that have a medical reason that requires a grooming procedure, for example:

Medical procedures include:

The delivery of these procedures will be assessed based upon medical and behavioural criteria. For example, cats can have nail trims and/or sanitary shaves if tolerated whilst they are conscious using our Cat Friendly and Fear Free approach. However, any cat that does not tolerate these activities will need to be prescribed Pre-visit Pharmaceuticals (PVP) and/or sedated. This will be decided by a veterinarian and any sedation or PVP will be prescribed/delivered under the appropriate clinical care.

SOCIAL PURPOSE

Trap Neuter Return (TNR) Initiatives at GVC

At GVC we have a strong sense of social purpose; being part of and supporting our community is very important to us. We care deeply about the welfare of all animals. One GVC initiative for supporting our community is to help the people who take care of the stray and street cat populations in Abu Dhabi.

If you belong to a feline rescue or aid group and would like to know more about our initiatives and how GVC can help support the work you do, please contact us.

Since 2016, Dr Katrin and the team have dedicated a number of surgical slots per week to neutering and health-checking stray cats and street cats at specially discounted prices.

If you are feeding or caring for a street cat which is not yet neutered, please follow us on Facebook or Instagram or contact us to find out details of our next open TNR slots.
