The Best Vets in Ahmedabad for Dogs and Cats (And Who to See for What)

If you've read our story about Samrat's tick fever, you already know how much it matters to have a vet you genuinely trust before an emergency happens, not after. So we did the research properly, looking at real clinics across Ahmedabad, what they're actually known for, and which ones are especially good with cats versus dogs versus both. Here's what we found.

1. Sneh Pet Hospital, Best All-Rounder for Dogs, Cats, and Street Animals

This is the one we know personally. Sneh Pet Hospital, led by Dr. Hiren Thakar, is where Samrat was treated through his tick fever, and it's also where he's spent years being genuinely happy to visit, friendly with the staff on the hospital side, the spa side, and the shop side alike. Dr. Thakar specialises in treating both dogs and cats, offers 24/7 emergency services, and is known for extending care to street animals as well, not just pets who come with an owner. If you want one clinic that can be your everyday vet AND your emergency call in a crisis, this is our first recommendation, and not just because of our own experience, the reviews from other Ahmedabad pet parents say the same.

Known for: emergency care, surgery, both cats and dogs, street animal treatment, grooming and spa services.

2. Imperial Veterinary Hospital, Best for Diagnostics and Cat Dental Care

Imperial Veterinary Hospital stood out in our research for its advanced, in-house diagnostic setup, lab work and imaging done on-site, which matters enormously when a pet needs answers quickly. Multiple pet parents specifically praised the clinic's cat dental care, with one describing how thoroughly the vet walked them through the procedure and follow-up prevention. It also runs round-the-clock emergency care, and has a strong track record treating stubborn skin infections in dogs.

Known for: in-house diagnostics and imaging, cat dental care, 24x7 emergency care, skin infection treatment.

3. Dr. Chirag Dave's Pets' Clinic, Most Established, Best for Complex Cases

Running since 1994, this Thaltej-based clinic has more institutional experience behind it than almost anywhere else on this list. Dr. Chirag Dave built the practice around a simple mission, compassionate care structured around accurate diagnosis, and three decades in, that focus on getting the diagnosis right first shows in how the clinic approaches more complicated or long-running health issues.

Known for: decades of diagnostic experience, comprehensive general care, both dogs and cats.

4. Dr. C.M.'s Pet Clinic (South Bopal), Best Local Option With a Genuine Focus on Cats

For anyone in the South Bopal / SOBO Center area, this one's worth knowing simply for the convenience, but it earns its place on this list for more than location. The clinic publishes detailed seasonal guidance specifically for cat health (their monsoon fungal-infection and respiratory-care advice for cats is genuinely thorough), alongside full dog and cat vaccination, dental, and grooming services. With a strong local reputation and a large volume of positive reviews, it's a solid neighbourhood choice that doesn't skimp on feline-specific care.

Known for: cat-specific seasonal care, vaccinations, dental care, strong local reputation in South Bopal.

5. Dr. Gautam's Dog Clinic and Hospital (Chandkheda), Best for Multi-Pet and Behavioural Concerns

If your household includes more than dogs and cats, birds, rabbits, turtles, or if you're dealing with a behavioural issue rather than a purely medical one, this Chandkheda clinic covers unusually wide ground. Beyond medical, surgical, dental, and intensive care, it specifically offers behavioural counselling, which is genuinely hard to find listed as a standalone service in Ahmedabad's pet clinic scene.

Known for: multi-species care (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, turtles), behavioural counselling, admitting and ICU facilities.

How We Chose This List

We looked at clinics with consistent, genuine reviews from real pet parents, a clear range of services (not just vaccination and nothing else), and, where possible, a specific strength that sets them apart, whether that's cats, emergencies, diagnostics, or behaviour. This isn't a paid or sponsored list. Sneh Pet Hospital is the only one we can speak to from direct, personal experience; the rest are included based on consistent public reviews and their own published specialities.

A quick honest note: clinic hours, doctors, and services can change, and reviews are only ever one part of the picture. Please call ahead to confirm details and, where possible, visit before an emergency forces the decision, the way we wish we'd known to, before Samrat's tick fever ever happened.
