Clues and answers
You notice the sign. We find out why.
Most visits start with something small an owner noticed at home. Here is what usually comes next.
Clue 01
It's time for the yearly check, or a new kitten just arrived
Lens
Consultations and check-ups
A full, unhurried exam from nose to tail, with time for your questions. For cats and dogs of any size, from the first weeks onward.
Clue 02
The vaccine booklet says it's due
Lens
Vaccines, deworming and microchip
The yearly vaccines, internal and external deworming and the microchip, explained so you know what each one is for and when the next one is due.
Clue 03
Limping, pain, a cough, an upset stomach
Lens
Illness and injury
Examination, diagnosis and treatment of the everyday problems, from a sore leg to a urinary infection, with a clear plan for the days after.
Clue 04
Drinks more, eats less, getting thinner
Lens
Chronic illness follow-up
Kidney disease and other long-term conditions need regular consultations and practical advice for home. We follow them for months and years, not just one visit.
Clue 05
You just have a question
Lens
Advice and answers
Food, behaviour, an older animal, a new one at home. Ask: the team is known for taking the time to explain.
The practice
A quiet room where your animal is handled with care
Aqui Há Gato e Cãopanhia is a small-animal practice in Santo António dos Olivais, Coimbra, for cats and dogs. The name plays on a Portuguese saying: «aqui há gato» is what you say when something doesn't add up. That's usually the moment people call us.
Clients describe the same things again and again: a calm, pleasant room, vets who are gentle and respectful with every animal, from a nervous cat to a large dog, and a team that is always ready to explain. Some animals have been with us for years, and when one needs long follow-up, we stay with it.

Mariana and Flávia are excellent vets, always ready to help and answer questions. Years ago Isac had a urinary infection and Mariana basically saved him. Since February 2025 J has had kidney failure, and both of them have been a tremendous help with tips, effective consultations and suggestions.
Statement · 02
I recommend them immensely. Dr. Mariana and Heloísa are always very caring and respectful with the animals, whether cats or even large dogs.

Everything went well with our little dog, who had pain in her leg. A few days later, after a short treatment, the pain was gone. Thank you from our Lady.
Statement · 05
The care and attention they give, together with all the professionalism and availability, make this my vet of choice.
