The Good Stuff
Clear explanations
Vets are praised for explaining conditions, procedures and treatment options without rushing or pressuring owners.
Grooming brief
Groomers discuss a pet’s specific needs and preferences before starting, then handle the session gently.
Clean clinic
Several reviews specifically mention a well-maintained, organised and hygienic clinic.
Follow-up reports
After check-ups, owners may receive reports and follow-up messages about their pets.
Smooth bookings
Appointments are described as straightforward, hassle-free and sometimes completed quickly.
Easy parking
One review reports finding parking easily, while another says spaces are directly in front of the door.
Tips for a Better Visit
Find pillars. For easier navigation, look in the mall’s basement parking area between yellow pillars 8 and 9.
Ask about offers. Ask about current promotions before paying; one first-time visitor reported receiving 20% off.
Share preferences. For grooming, explain your pet’s needs and preferences before the session begins.
Request updates. Ask whether a post-check-up report and follow-up message are included if you want written updates.
Check timing. Routine visits can be quick: one vaccination appointment was completed in 20 minutes and ran on time.

The Bottom Line
The City Vet Clinic in Al Barsha is a veterinary practice where owners bring pets for check-ups, vaccinations, grooming and follow-up care. Reviews are especially specific about gentle handling: anxious cats were calmed before examinations, while dogs and cats were treated patiently during routine visits, wound care and procedures. Grooming is a strong part of the experience.
Customers mention full grooming for dogs and cats, with the groomer checking details such as a pet’s preferred cut and needs before starting. Other review-backed services include fungal testing, municipality registration and microchipping, so this is more than a grooming stop. The clinic is repeatedly described as clean, bright, organised and welcoming.
Appointment handling is generally smooth, and one cat vaccination visit was completed in 20 minutes. Owners also mention receiving check-up reports and follow-up messages, which is useful when you want a record of what happened after the consultation. The main practical drawback is finding the branch: it is in the basement of the mall, and one visitor found it tricky at first.
Another review places it between yellow pillars 8 and 9 in the basement parking area. Parking was otherwise described as easy, with spaces sometimes available directly by the door. A January 2024 review reported a 99 AED consultation fee, but treat that as a past price rather than a current tariff.
