We don't have pets, but much of the embassy community does, or did find pets while they were here. There are many cats and dogs in the shelters that need homes. There are vets and kennels used by the embassy community, and I think they are fine with the quality (haven't heard complaints). The embassy has a Pet Clinic every few months, so you can just bring your pet to the embassy for shots and check ups. - May 2012
There is a decent veteranarian next to the Friday Market, and a couple of others on the outskirts of town. The Friday Market also has a row of pet supply stores. - Jan 2012
Yes. There are a few pet organizations. Sadly, Kuwaitis typically abuse pets. - Jul 2010
There are two vets that most people frequent who will also kennel your animal. I've been pleased with International Vet Hospital. - Jul 2010
It seemed sketchy to me. I fostered two kittens for one of the animal shelters and when the kitties got sick, I took them to a vet at the open market/souk. It didn't seem clean, was fairly unorganized, the people seemed to wait for a long time to get their pets seen, and the meds my kitties were given caused very bad reactions. But I do hear there is an International Pet Clinic that is fairly decent. The shelter made me take my kitties to the sketchy place so I don't have first hand experience with the International Clinic but I hear good things about it. - Jul 2008
It's okay. Don't bring a pet with health issues. - Jun 2008
