Hi

Benn out in dubai for 3 weeks now my dog is coming from uk soon and just wondered do they do pet insurance out here?

And can anyone reccommend a vets near the springs?

many thanks

not sure about pet insurance.
try Desert Vet. Clinic, Al Wasal Road, near Um Sequiem Spinney's

Dr Matt's/ Desert clinic is currently closed, they're renovating. So I go to the Al Safa clinic instead for the time being.

When I researched pet insurance before I found it not worth it. Too many exclusions depending on breed/age, etc.

I forget who, but a consumer group did a study / survey and concluded that for most pet owners insurance is not necessarily favorable cost/benefit wise.

I put the money in the bank and cross my fingers.

Mind you the above is not for Dubai insurance coverage.

Royal & SunAlliance tel Abu Dhabi 02-6351800, Dubai 02-3029800 offer cat or dog insurance (don't know about other pets, nor cost or how good they are)
