Skin & Allergies

Itchy skin is one of the most common reasons cats are brought to the vet, with signs including persistent scratching, licking, or overgrooming. Causes range from allergies and parasites to infections and even stress-related behaviors, and while any cat can be affected, certain breeds and ages are more susceptible.

Allergies are one of the most common health concerns in dogs. With year-round warmth, high humidity, frequent sandstorms and constant air conditioning, Dubai’s climate creates perfect conditions for exposure to allergens.

Allergies are a common health issue in cats. In Dubai, year-round heat, high humidity, frequent dust storms and heavy reliance on air conditioning create unique challenges for your cat’s health. Cats in Dubai are typically kept indoors, but that doesn’t eliminate risks. Allergens circulate inside homes, while parasites and food sensitivities also play a major role.

An abscess is an enclosed pocket of pus caused by bacterial infection. These painful swellings can develop anywhere on your dog's body, from simple skin infections to more serious internal complications. Dubai's hot, sandy environment creates particular challenges, with grass seeds, sand particles, and increased outdoor activities during cooler months contributing to abscess formation.

Ear infections in cats can be uncomfortable and distressing for both your feline friend and you as their caregiver. The majority of ear infections are caused by bacteria and yeast, often secondary to underlying conditions such as allergies or ear mites. With prompt veterinary care and treatment, most ear infections resolve quickly.

Living in Dubai with your furry companion is a unique joy, but the city's hot, humid, and sometimes dusty climate can present specific health challenges.

Dog hair loss or alopecia is often a cause of concern for any pet owner. Not only is it a disfigurement of your loving pet, but it can also be a sign of underlying health issues that need to be addressed.

Treatment, prevention and other measures are taken for each animal individually. Therapy takes into account the animal's age, health condition, seasonality and other individual characteristics.
