NEWSLETTER NO. 6, Dubai, December 2009
Dear Client,
Welcome to the 6th Newsletter of Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic. We are certain that this newsletter contains useful information for pet owners.
The Holiday Season is rapidly approaching. The clinic is decorated in Christmas style and Santa Claus will be visiting the Clinic on December 18th between 2 – 5 p.m. He will bring a present for all children visiting our clinic that afternoon. Together with Santa Claus, we will have a face painter painting lovely reindeers and little Snowmen and in accordance with the Christmas spirit, the wheel of fortune will spin again (Dhs. 50) for the benefit of all stray animals in Dubai.
Besides being cheerful, the Christmas period brings certain dangers for pets and as a pet owner you will have to be alert on this in order to avoid a nasty outcome. We would like to inform you about possible holiday hazards for your pet(s). Please click here to read what you can do to keep your furry friend safe and healthy during this festive season and to avoid having to make an unexpected trip to the vet.
Until the end of May 2010 on most weekdays “The Al Saheel Horse Show” will be held at Arabian Ranches Dubai Equestrian & Polo Club. This is a spectacular show which includes horses from all over the world which were rescued and given another chance at life. For more information: click here.
DVES (Dubai Veterinary Emergency Services – an initiative of Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic, The Veterinary Hospital and The Modern Veterinary Clinic) have set up an emergency rotation schedule between participating clinics to secure Veterinary Care during the Holiday season.

Pet’s New Years Resolutions - Nonsense?
We don’t think so, just like humans, overweight or obese pets are a danger to themselves and we would like to point out what to do to avoid your pet from becoming obese and how to correct and improve the health of already overweight pets. It is time for you to make this new years resolution for him/her; How to make them LOOSE WEIGHT, and keep the correct balance, and help them have a healthier and therefore happier life. Please click here and read what you can do to improve your pet’s quality of life and what we (the clinic) can do to help you reach this goal.
As an extra incentive to put your overweight pet on a diet, Al Barsha Veterinary Clinic has teamed up with Royal Canin in a weight loss competition. There are some great prizes to be won for those pets that loose the most weight (percentage of total body weight) in a responsible way.
