Conceição de Faro
4 Patas is a few minutes inland from Faro, in Conceição, on Rua das Laranjeiras. It is small on purpose: you are seen by the doctor, who remembers your animal from the last time.
The reviews have said the same things for six years. Care and professionalism together, "like I have never seen". The animal's well-being before the bill. And a doctor people thank even on the hard days, "for making everything possible, as always".

Customer note
Interest in the animal's well-being before the interest in money.

Dra. Joana is exceptional. A professional who does everything out of love for animals. An excellent vet. I recommend her! It's where I always go with my little dog.
