Clinical director

Dr. Inês Félix

Veterinary surgeon. Integrated master’s degree from the Faculty of
Veterinary Medicine at ULHT, in 2014, and in companion-animal practice ever since —
twelve years to date.

She did her internship in London, at the Royal Veterinary College,
where she took part in prospective studies of feline and canine hypertension. Her
master’s thesis is on the role of nitrous oxide in the development of feline
hypertension. That is where the house rule comes from: everyone gets measured.

She holds a certified postgraduate qualification in Veterinary
Dermatology (GPCert, ISVPS) — the field that interests her most — and runs
specialist consultations at PetDoctors, on an ambulatory basis and as a consultant
for other clinics. She also does general surgery and internal medicine: her interest
is not limited to skin, it is animal health as a whole.

A word nobody understands

What a GPCert actually is.

It is a certified postgraduate qualification (General Practitioner Certificate) from ISVPS, taken by an already qualified vet in one specific field, with assessment. In dermatology, it is about treating what causes the sign — itching, alopecia, hair loss, wounds — and not only the sign.

It is not a weekend course or a certificate of attendance: it involves cases,
examinations and a board. In dermatology, it is the difference between treating the
symptom you can see — the itch — and looking for the cause that keeps it going: food
allergy, environmental allergy, parasite, secondary infection, endocrine disease.

“Although her passion is Veterinary Dermatology, she also does general surgery and
internal medicine consultations, because her real passion is not limited to
Dermatology but is animal health itself.”

Different species, the same care

Our team in Lisbon and Corroios

Exotic pets

Dedicated veterinary care for exotic pets, with an approach tailored to the characteristics of each species. Rabbits, small mammals, birds and reptiles have their own nutritional, environmental, preventive and treatment needs, requiring careful observation and specific care.

Catarina Maciel

My story with PetDoctors began in 2017. Over the years, I have taken on different responsibilities in the management and organisation of the clinic and online shop, as well as in supporting our clients.

I trained as a veterinary assistant with Empower Up and in canine grooming with Artero.

As PetDoctors is also chosen by many international pet owners, English is naturally part of my daily work. It allows me to communicate with and support clients closely and attentively, regardless of language.

Outside the clinic, I share my life with Smeagol and Meska, a pair of Sphynx cats who have been with me for eight years. They are very special, unique and affectionate cats who strengthen my passion for animals every day and are a very important part of my life.

I have been a veterinary assistant since 2004 and I am fortunate to do what I truly enjoy. I am dedicated to and passionate about animal care and wellbeing, and every day I strive to provide affection, comfort and safety.

Dogs and cats hold a very special place in my heart and are, without doubt, my great passion.

Talking to her

A dermatology consultation is booked like any other.

Tell us how long the itching has been going on, what you have already
tried, and whether another animal in the house has the same. Half the diagnosis is
there.
