Exotic and Wildlife Care
If you have a fish, a rabbit, a parrot, a reptile, or any exotic animal in Dubai, finding a vet who genuinely knows your species is harder than it should be. Most clinics see exotic pets occasionally. I treat them every day.
I am Dr. Noémie, exotic and aquatic veterinarian with nearly a decade of clinical experience across companion, exotic animals and wildlife. I hold the WAVMA CertAqV, the internationally recognised certification in aquatic veterinary medicine, making me the only certified aquatic veterinarian practising in Dubai. I am also MOCCAE licensed, Hold a Master in Conservation medicine and multiple other advanced training certificates and currently completing an Advanced Zoological Medicine Certificate.
My clinical background spans exotic companions such as rabbits, parrots, reptiles, fish, koi, axolotls, turtles, guinea pigs, ferrets, as well as wildlife including but not limited to lions, oryx, rhinoceros, dolphins; etc. Whatever your animal, I have probably already treated one.
Trusted Care
“A Heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Noemi!
In November 2024, our beloved 10-year-old gourami fish fell ill. Its stomach was bloated, it had stopped eating for over a week, and it remained motionless in one corner of the tank, appearing weak and unwell. […] Dr. Noemi carefully examined it. She conducted an X-ray and other tests, provided clear instructions on care and prescribed the necessary medications.
That same day, we brought our fish back home and followed Dr. Noemi’s guidance. Day by day, it showed remarkable improvement. Today, it is eating well and swimming actively once again!
Dr. Noemi has been incredibly kind, checking in on our fish’s progress from time to time.”
“I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Noemie for her kind support with my tortoise , Tabby. She truly made me feel that I won’t lose her, and that everything is under control. Her reassurance meant the world to me, and I’m deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart.”
“Dr. Noemie is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable veterinarian but also very compassionate and empathetic person. She explained us complex medical information and treatment plans for my son’s exotic pet and performed excellent diagnostic tests to find out what was wrong with it. Thank you!”
