Pet Vaccination
Pet Vaccination in Abu Dhabi
At German Veterinary Clinic, pet vaccination in Abu Dhabi is provided under veterinary guidance and clinical assessment, as per the current UAE veterinary regulations.
Vaccination protects pets against serious infectious diseases, many of which are still present in the region and can spread rapidly between animals. Some of these diseases, such as rabies, also pose a zoonotic risk, indicating they can be transmitted from animals to humans. For this reason, vaccination plays an important role in both animal health and public health in Abu Dhabi.
Vaccination recommendations are made following a clinical examination and review of your pet’s:
- Age and vaccination history
- Lifestyle and environmental exposure
- Travel requirements
- Overall health status
Vaccinations in Abu Dhabi are closely linked to mandatory UAE pet registration and international travel regulations. Our role is to ensure vaccinations are appropriate, accurately recorded, and administered safely.
Vaccinations are available at the clinic or through pet vaccination at home in Abu Dhabi, following veterinary assessment.
Cat Vaccination
Cats often hide signs of discomfort very well, which makes preventive care especially important. Cat vaccinations help protect against common infectious diseases such as feline panleukopenia and respiratory infections, which can be life-threatening, particularly in kittens and unvaccinated cats.
GVC is extremely proud to be the first clinic in the Middle East to receive and maintain the prestigious International Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic award. Being a Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic means we are cat experts and offer an exceptionally high standard of care. Vaccination recommendations are made only after a full health check and consideration of age, lifestyle, and overall well-being. Special attention is given to keeping visits calm and comfortable, whether the vaccination is carried out at the clinic or through vaccination at home when suitable.
Some of the common vaccines for cats are:
- Rabies
- Feline Panleukopenia
- Feline Herpesvirus and Calicivirus
- Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)
Dog Vaccination
Dogs are naturally curious and social, which may increase their exposure to infections. Dog vaccinations are an important part of keeping them protected, especially if they visit parks, boarding facilities, or grooming centres or travel frequently.
Our dog vaccination services focus on safety, comfort, and prevention. Before any vaccination, our veterinary team carries out a full health check and discusses your dog’s daily routine and environment. This helps us recommend the right vaccines while avoiding unnecessary treatments. Home vaccination options are also available when in-clinic visits are stressful or inconvenient.
Below are some of the common vaccines for dogs that are available:
- Rabies
- Canine Parvovirus
- Canine Distemper
- Leptospirosis
A bacterial infection that can affect the kidneys and liver and may pose a zoonotic risk. Vaccination is recommended based on lifestyle and environmental exposure.
Not every dog requires every vaccine listed above. Vaccines are recommended only when clinically appropriate and following a full health assessment by your veterinarian.
