Doha Vets isn't the one near Villagio LadyD - are you thinking of Qatar Veterinary Centre instead? Doha Vets is that awful run-down place near Hamad. It is true that the same owner owns both Doha Vets and the Canadian Veterinary Surgery, and personally I wouldn't give him a penny of my money, but on the other hand I have heard very good things about the vet who works at the Canadian place and she is certainly well qualified and experienced. The vet near Katara specialises in Falcons etc and I have heard one or two horror stories about him messing up routine spays on dogs and cats, so I would not choose to use him, although I know people that do and are happy. Park View vets near Landmark is meant to be good as well. To be honest Beate2, I don't imagine any vet would attempt to do a tooth-clean on a cat without using a general anaesthetic, so I think QR800 is a pretty reasonable price in all honesty.

I think they are relatively new: when I went a few weeks ago it was very empty ... echoed as I walked in. I was the only customer. The vet, Sarah, was very nice, but they don't stock the dried cat food mine now takes (Canine for cats 32) and told me the Hills one was FAR better. So I tried it, and Fred refused to eat it ... Although I've registered with them I probably won't get the food from them but will stick to Doha Vets for that, but they are much, much closer to me in West Bay than Doha Vets near Villaggio. Has anyone tried the one in Katara?

I read an article about this once... may be worth googling - it was a blog actually written by a vet. He was explaining the differences in costs for teeth cleaning by saying that some vets go cheap on the anaesthesia so to always find out exactly what the procedure is so it is best for your pet. Not sure if it has anything to do with prices here but just thought I would mention. I remember this service costing about 100 USD back in the states for our dog.

I can't comment on the price -- but as I understand, it's pretty normal to do dog teeth cleaning while under full anaesthetic... if our dogs happen to need surgery, we have their teeth cleaned at the same time while they're out. Luckily, we haven't had many surgeries- but that also means, not too many cleanings! I believe that Canadian Veterinary Clinic is under the same ownership as The veterinary Surgery, so I would assume the prices would be comparable.

Good monirng, does anybody have any experience with Canadian Veterinary Clinic. It seems to be a very new business- since November, I believe. I need a teeth cleaning for my cat and one of the established vets here quoted 800QR for this service as they want to perform this under a full anaesthetic. It seems a lot of money for this. I thought that Family dental clinic was expensive, and they charge "only" QR 500. Any comments/experiences will be appreciated.
