The Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital (ADFH) is the first public institution in the UAE providing comprehensive veterinary health care services exclusively for falcons.

Established by Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi and opened on 3rd of October, 1999, Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital has become the largest falcon hospital in the UAE and in the world with a patient influx of more than 110,000 patients since its opening.

From being established as a purely veterinary facility, the ADFH has expanded in the fields of education and awareness, training and research. Due to the huge demand for providing experience to other avian species, the falcon hospital became a fully-fledged specialized avian hospital for all kinds of birds and poultry species in 2006.

Another major step in becoming a comprehensive animal care center was the opening of our ADFH Pet Care Center on 1st of July 2007. It comprises VIP boarding kennels for dogs and cats as well as pet grooming and dog training facilities. This dog and cat hotel lives up to European standards for boarding kennels and it is the latest of its kind in the Middle East as a comprehensive one-stop-service for customers. Pet Care Center is a large modern small animal hospital with latest technology and equipment. A Dog Agility Park for dog exercise was added in 2011, too. ADFH PCC is also recognized as a Cat friendly Clinic with Gold Standard Certificate by International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM).

ADFH started its own falcon breeding center in 2011 to breed falcons for customers. Moreover, it breeds saker falcons for the H.H. The Late Shk Zayed Falcon Release Program.

Yearly around 11,000 falcons are received for examinations and treatment at ADFH . Since its inception, ADFH has emerged as one of the most reputed falcon hospitals in the Gulf region and as the largest falcon hospital in the world and leading center for falcon medicine world-wide. Over the years, the ADFH has established a loyal and a wide patient-base not just in the UAE, but also in countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain.
