Bringing home a kitten is one of life’s sweetest joys, but in Dubai’s busy pet market, it’s important to choose wisely so your furry friend starts life strong and happy. Here’s what you should look for:
1. Check for Bright Eyes & Clean Nose
A healthy kitten in Dubai will have clear, sparkling eyes with no discharge, and a clean, dry nose. Any watery eyes, sneezing, or mucus could be early signs of infection.
2. Examine the Coat & Skin
Run your hand gently through the kitten’s fur. It should feel soft, shiny, and free from bald patches or fleas. Healthy skin means the kitten is being raised in a clean, hygienic environment which is crucial in Dubai’s warm climate.
3. Energy Levels & Playfulness
Kittens are naturally curious and playful. A kitten that is alert, active, and social usually indicates good health. If the kitten appears weak, overly shy, or lethargic, that’s a red flag.
4. Check Ears, Mouth & Teeth
Ears: Clean, free from mites or odor.
Mouth: Gums should be pink, not pale.
Teeth: Small, sharp, and clean.
These checks help avoid future vet bills and ensure your kitten is thriving.
5. Review Vaccination & Health Records
In Dubai, reputable breeders and pet shops like Petholicks will always provide vaccination cards, deworming history, and vet check-up records. Never skip this step it’s your proof of a kitten’s health.
6. Environment & Source
Only adopt from trusted breeders or ethical pet shops in Dubai. A clean, well-maintained environment reflects how the kittens are cared for. At Petholicks, every kitten is raised with love, regular vet supervision, and proper nutrition.
✅ Pro Tip: Ask the seller if you can spend a little time playing with the kitten before purchase. This helps you observe behavior and bond naturally before making your choice.
