Are there good vets in Portugal? Where are the best vets in Portugal?
Juan Matias - BLUE Boutique Hostel & SUITES
For many years we were really dedicated to the fishing and agriculture land and, when you’re talking about nature and agriculture lands, you’re talking about animals and when you’re talking about animals, you have pets and when you have pets you have to take them to the doctor. So there are a lot of veterinary stores around everywhere, and there are a lot of animal hospitals as well and animal hotels. This is something that is booming as well in Portugal.

At home with me I have a Labrador. In my parent’s home, I have ducks, an ostrich, three other dogs, and parrots, and I feel completely comfortable taking my dog to the vet here. It is a bit expensive, though. The last time I took my dog for a vaccination it cost me €120 (US $134).
However, that was because I didn’t already have a relationship with the vet. In Portugal, when you start having a good relationship with people they drop the prices to half, so the prices are not standard.
