Raiza

Barcelona on Feb 2026

I’ve been with Claudia since the pandemic and everything is super good with her. I travel 2 or 3 times to Italy from Spain with my puppy and she is in charge of everything - the visit, the paracetamol, the vaccines, the passport and all the papers, and she even comes to my house. My puppy is happy with her and I feel the price is perfect. I’m super happy and I recommend her.

Maresme on May 2025

I’ve known Britta for over 10 years, maybe 15. I adopted a cat from her when she was working at her clinic and she did the vaccinations, and she’s still my primary vet now that she works independently in the Maresme area. She’s very professional, very friendly, and very knowledgeable, always explains everything clearly, gives me all the options, and never pressures me - I decide after she lays it out. If anything is wrong with my cat I go to her to sort it out, and while clinic stuff can be a bit expensive, the quality is worth it.

Barcelona on Apr 2026

I contacted Claudia for help with my dog's anxiety, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She offered a home visit, making it easy to fit into our busy schedule. Claudia is extremely professional and understanding, clearly experienced with sensitive dogs. She handled my dog with care and provided useful tips and a clear plan to help improve the situation. Everything from scheduling to the visit and payment was smooth, which I appreciated since I'm not fluent in Spanish. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate vet.

Dos and Don’ts as an expat

Key dos and don'ts for selecting the ideal veterinarian for your pet's care

Do’s
Do Prioritize Vets Who Offer Home Visits
Look for veterinarians who provide at-home services for convenience, especially for pets that experience anxiety when visiting clinics. Reviews indicate that home visits lead to a more comfortable experience for both pets and owners, ensuring that your pet receives quality care in a familiar environment.
Do Seek Out Veterinarians Who Communicate Well
Communication is key in veterinary care. Choose providers who are responsive and can explain conditions and treatment options clearly. Customers have highlighted the importance of timely updates and a friendly demeanor in making them feel confident about their pet's care.
Do Consider Holistic Approaches
Explore veterinarians who offer holistic treatments such as acupuncture and specialized diets. Many reviews emphasize that these methods have significantly improved the health and longevity of pets, leading to remarkable transformations in their well-being.
Do Look for Reviews on Emergency Response
Select veterinarians based on their reputation for handling emergencies effectively. Customers have reported exceptional experiences with vets who respond promptly and provide outstanding care during critical situations, ensuring peace of mind when it matters most.
Dont’s
Don't Assume All Vets Can Perform Emergency Services
Not all veterinarians are equipped to handle emergencies or complex procedures. Ensure the vet you choose has experience and capabilities for urgent situations, especially if your pet may need immediate care.
Don't Neglect Communication Skills
Effective communication is vital when discussing your pet's health. Choose a veterinarian who is not only knowledgeable but also fluent in your preferred language to avoid misunderstandings and ensure you fully understand the treatment options.
Don't Ignore Reviews About Availability and Reliability
Selecting a veterinarian based on convenience is tempting, but ensure you consider their reliability and availability as well. Look for reviews that mention prompt responses, punctuality, and whether emergencies are handled efficiently.
Don't Overlook Experience with Special Needs Pets
If your pet has specific health needs or requires special care, verify the veterinarian's experience in dealing with such cases. Professionals who have a proven track record with similar pets are more likely to offer the necessary expertise.
