The vet who comes to you.
Stefania Amidei is a veterinarian with six years of practice in Portugal and post-graduate qualifications in small-animal surgery and anaesthesia.
Trained in veterinary medicine in Italy, Stefania moved to Portugal six years ago. She worked at referral clinics in Lisbon and the Algarve, always focused on soft-tissue surgery and anaesthesiology.
After years in the hospital environment (efficient but impersonal), she decided to create something different: a veterinary practice that puts the animal's wellbeing above the clinic's routine.
Because many animals suffer huge stress during the trip to the clinic. Cats who panic in the carrier. Elderly dogs who can no longer jump into the car. Animals with trauma history who associate the clinic with fear.
Bringing veterinary care home keeps the animal on their own territory. No strange smells, no other animals, no cold lights. Just a careful exam, on the sofa or in the garden.
This approach isn't only more comfortable for the animal — it's clinically better. Stefania can observe natural behaviour, the home environment, the family dynamic. Things you never see in a consultation room.
Traditional veterinary medicine is highly specialised, but it sometimes loses the essential: time. Time to listen, to explain, to really know the animal and the family.
Working at home affords her that luxury. No packed waiting room. No next appointment pushing in. Just the time needed to do it right.
Stefania consults in Portuguese, English, Italian, and Spanish. Medicine is universal, but empathy needs to be communicated in the right language.
