Straight answers, written for Kenya

Search any pet health question from Nairobi and you will mostly get British, American and Australian pages. Different diseases, different vaccine brands, different prices. These are written for here.

Puppy vaccination schedule for Kenya A puppy in Nairobi faces heavier parvovirus pressure than one in London, and rabies vaccination is a legal duty here rather than a lifestyle choice. This is the schedule that fits Kenya. What dog vaccination costs in Kenya Nobody in Kenya publishes vet prices, so owners guess, and guessing high is why vaccinations get postponed. Here are the actual ranges, and what makes a quote move within them. Parvovirus in dogs: the Kenyan picture If your unvaccinated puppy has bloody diarrhoea and will not drink, stop reading and get to a vet. Parvovirus is common in Kenya, it moves fast, and hours matter. Deworming your dog in Kenya Worm pressure in Kenya is higher than in temperate countries and the schedule is tighter. Dosing is by weight, which is where most over-the-counter deworming goes wrong. Ticks and fleas on dogs in Kenya In Kenya the danger from ticks is not the bite, it is what the bite carries. Tick-borne disease kills dogs here, and it is often mistaken for ordinary tiredness until it is advanced. Rabies vaccination in Kenya Rabies is endemic in Kenya, vaccination is compulsory by law, and the certificate is the document you will need for boarding, landlords and travel. It is also the cheapest vaccine you will buy.

What we do

Pet vaccinations The full course for puppies and kittens, annual boosters for adults, and rabies certification that boarding kennels and airlines will accept. Deworming and parasite control Routine worming on a Kenyan schedule, plus tick and flea prevention that runs year-round because there is no winter here to interrupt it. Spay and neuter Routine sterilisation for dogs and cats, priced by species, sex and weight, with the quote covering everything before you commit. Sick pet consultations A full examination, a plain-language explanation of what we think is going on, and a costed plan before anything is started. Emergency vet care The signs that mean now rather than tomorrow, and what to do on the way. Worth reading before there is an emergency. Home visits Better medicine for cats and nervous dogs, and simpler for households with several animals. Some procedures still need the clinic, and we will tell you which. Surgery Soft tissue procedures, lump removals and wound repair, with pre-operative assessment and pain relief included rather than added afterwards. Dental care Bad breath is not normal in a dog or cat. It is usually the first sign of dental disease that is painful long before the animal shows it. Laboratory and diagnostics Tests are worth running when the result will change what we do. We will tell you what each one rules in or out, and what it costs, before you agree to it. Pet travel and export paperwork The most avoidable veterinary problem we see is a family with flights booked and a pet that cannot legally travel for another three months. Start this early.

Common questions

Do you treat animals other than dogs and cats?

No. We are a companion-animal practice for dogs and cats only. For cattle, goats, sheep or poultry you need a livestock vet, and for farm inputs an agrovet will serve you better than we can.

How quickly can you see my pet?

Tell us the symptoms when you book and we will tell you honestly whether it is an emergency, needs a slot this week, or can wait for a routine visit. We would rather turn a routine booking into an urgent one than have you wait.

Do you do home visits?

Yes, across Nairobi. Home visits suit cats that travel badly, multi-pet households, nervous dogs and end-of-life care. Some procedures still need the clinic, and each service page says which.

Why do you publish prices when other clinics do not?

Because not knowing is the main reason Kenyan owners delay a vaccination or a sick visit until the animal is much worse and the bill is much higher. Our ranges are indicative and we will always give you a figure before treatment starts.
