Founded by Eduardo Correia and Rosa Capela
Mafamude · Gaia
Made by people.
The clinic was founded in 1990 by veterinarian Eduardo Correia and his wife, Rosa Capela, on a simple idea: bring together different areas, approaches and techniques to find the best strategy for each problem — and reach the best outcome for the animal.
Thirty-six years later it is still on Rua José Rocha, in Mafamude, and still the work of Eduardo, Rosa and a whole team — everyone who is there now and everyone who has passed through.
Caring is not a mechanical act. It is an exchange of energy, of constant care and of presence.

In their words
1075 reviews. A few of them.
I've been going to this clinic for about 20 years. All my animals were and are followed here. Not only for the affordable price, given the market, but for the trust it conveys. You feel the vets and assistants look after the animals' wellbeing. The only thing standing between it and perfection is the waiting time — but to me that's worth it to put our animals in good hands.
After spending a lot of time and money on my dog because of a skin problem with no solution, I was recommended this clinic. After just three weeks of treatment my Maggie is great — for a third of what I had spent elsewhere.
I went with my 17-year-old who couldn't walk and wasn't eating. Dr. Eduardo examined him in the car, since he couldn't get out. Three weeks later he's a young old man — going for walks and in great spirits. All at a fair price.
First visit, after a sleepless night looking for the right clinic for my kitten Mia. Everything well organised, with dear Lili sorting it all out and being gentle with Mia. They're not exploiters, they're human — basically a family that welcomes us.
Where I always take my dog. Dr. Eduardo has known me since I was little — he's been the vet of my animals and of the animals in my mother's life. Very human and, above all, honest, without pushing money out of people.
I've been going to Dr. Eduardo for 25 years. Magnificent vets, great service.
