Excellent team and have really helped one of my cats get back from a very unwell place. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Fantastic facilities and great boarding areas too. Thanks guys.
Matthew Currie
We are not sure how we will ever get over losing our beloved Jack Russell, but Dr Vito and his team were exemplary in their medical care, professionalism and compassion. We will never forget the support that they gave us and our dog!
Belinda Charlton Nee Brown
We have moved to Dubai, but will still come here with the 5 cats, as Dr. Sarah is just wonderful with them. They all got their yearly shots and we got a reduction on the price because we are members of the Pet Health Club. Would thoroughly recommend joining this club.
Sandra Mitchell
They care not just about the pets, but also about the owners. We had all sort of adventures with our 3 cats, from simple boarding to emergency medical procedure and every time all our questions are answered and all our worries discussed.
Natasza Rędziniak-Less
Without any doubts the best veterinary clinic in Abu Dhabi. Always willing to help and ready for whatever the day might bring. It’s always a pleasure bringing my furry kids to the German Veterinary Clinic — knowing they are in safe and capable hands.
Carla Botha
You know this place is the best because other clinics recommend them. They took us in almost immediately without an appointment because of our puppy’s difficult condition. I only regretted not bringing her here sooner. My sincere thanks to Dr. Vito and his team for their effort.
Ahmed Yammahi
Thank you so much for your professionalism. It was a pleasure to have chosen you for Kota’s travel. Once again, thank you.
Jose
I found abandoned kittens and took them to German Vet for a check up. The staff was very caring towards the kittens, despite being busy. Thank you for helping the kittens (and me) out!
Hira Sh
Thank you to everyone involved who took amazing care of my precious Blackie and Brownie. I am amazed with how 100% alert they both are after their sterilization surgery. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them.
Debbie Segal
The GVC team are magic, who looked after Duke every step of the way! They truly gave me confidence that this part of the leaving Dubai journey was going to be the easiest. A massive thank you to Dr. Katrin, and her team!
Jade O’Boyle
With over 10 pets in our household, the home visit service really makes for a stress-free day, and my pets love the extra cuddles and attention during Dr. Katrin’s visits. The whole team is professional, compassionate and, caring.
Debbie Williams
We appreciate the relaxed feel of the home visit service, and Dr. Katrin takes the time to get to know each of our cats so that they feel comfortable with her. There isn’t a vet clinic in the UAE whom I trust more than GVC!
Jillian Boscolo-Wienke
GVC has been such a great team for our animal family and I would also like to think of you all as friends as I’ve always had a smile and such a warm welcome when I visit.
