The front of Clínica Veterinária do Parchal on Rua Doutor Sérgio Nunes, with its blue awnings and the veterinary cross.

Three people,
the same door since 2018

Two vets and a veterinary assistant. A team small enough that whoever answers the phone knows who you are talking about.

Dr Rute Vieira

Clinical Director · Veterinary Surgeon

She completed her Integrated Master’s in Veterinary Medicine at Universidade Lusófona, in Lisbon, in 2018 (the same year the clinic opened its doors). She went on to complete an intensive course in abdominal ultrasound with Improve International, and most of the ultrasound scans and the day-to-day clinical direction fall to her.

Joana Jacob

Veterinary Assistant

She has been at the clinic since the day it opened, in 2018, after completing her veterinary assistant course. She volunteers with an animal welfare charity, which explains much of her knack with the most frightened animals. Hers is probably the voice you hear when you call us.
