UNAVETS has incorporated into its group Catdog, which has two clinical centers located in Gines and Tomares (Seville). The UNAVETS Group now has a total of 37 locations: 19 located in Portugal and 18 located in Spain.
With the incorporation of the Catdog clinics, UNAVET now has 4 centers in Andalucia which will be accompanied by new planned additions.
The Catdog clinical centers are led by Felipe Vázquez, a veterinarian and biologist with 20 years of experience and extensive specialist expertise in traumatology and orthopedics. Endoscopy, laparoscopy, reproduction and laser therapy are specialties that are also developed in the center.
Catdog's team consists of four veterinarians trained in different specialties, four assistants and a hairdresser. The main center has areas of hospitalization, laboratory, diagnostic imaging, pre-operating room, and a fully equipped 24-hour emergency service, which with the hairdresser and shop completes the CatDog offering.
