There is nothing more difficult than finding a reliable “rabbit vet near me” in Dubai. Rabbits are unique, sensitive creatures that require specialised medical attention that differs considerably from that of dogs or cats. At The City Vet Clinic, we are proud to offer comprehensive veterinary care for rabbits. We are led by a team of exotic animal specialists who understand all the possible intricate needs of these "pocket pets".
From our Al Wasl and Mirdif branches to locations across the UAE, we provide a sanctuary for rabbit health, ensuring your long-eared companions live a happy and hop-filled life.
Rabbits are prey animals, which means they are biologically programmed to hide signs of illness or pain until a condition is advanced. This makes regular wellness exams at a specialised clinic vital. A general practitioner may not always recognise the subtle symptoms of "GI Stasis" or the early onset of dental malocclusion.
Our veterinary care for rabbits focuses on preventative medicine, early diagnosis, and species-specific treatments tailored to the Dubai environment.

01
Routine check-ups are the cornerstone of rabbit health. During a wellness exam, our experts perform a nose-to-tail assessment. They check for weight fluctuations, heart health, and skin condition.
Vaccinations: In Dubai, protecting your rabbit against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHDV1 and RHDV2) is more critical than it sounds. These viral infections are often fatal and can be brought into the home on shoes or clothing. We provide the latest combined vaccines to make sure that your bunny is safe.
02
Unlike humans, a rabbit’s teeth never stop growing. If they do not wear down naturally through a diet of high-fibre hay, they can develop "spurs" that cut into the tongue and cheeks. Our clinic is equipped with specialised dental tools to perform safe teeth trimming and filing under gentle sedation when necessary.
03
We highly recommend spaying and neutering for all pet rabbits. Not only does this prevent unwanted litters, but it also eliminates the high risk of uterine cancer in females (which affects up to 80% of unspayed rabbits over age 4) and reduces territorial aggression in males.
04
The extreme heat of the UAE is a significant risk factor when it comes to rabbits. They are highly susceptible to heatstroke because they cannot sweat.
Indoor Living: We advocate for rabbits to live indoors in climate-controlled environments.
Hydration & Grooming: Moulting seasons can be irregular in Dubai since there is constant exposure to A/C. For the little ones, we offer professional grooming to prevent hairballs, which can go on and lead to life-threatening intestinal blockages.
05
If your rabbit falls ill, every minute counts. The City Vet Clinic features in-house blood testing, digital X-rays, and ultrasound. Our surgical suites are designed with rabbit-safe anaesthesia protocols, ensuring the highest level of safety for procedures ranging from abscess removals to orthopaedic repairs.

While having a rabbit vet near me for emergencies is important, the best care starts at home.
80% of a rabbit's diet should be high-quality Timothy hay.
Provide plenty of space for exercise and "binkies" (the joyful jumps rabbits do).
Monitor their "golden nuggets" (droppings). Any change in size, shape, or frequency is a signal to call us immediately.
