Counting on the collaboration of Dr. Guilherme Valadares, we carry out cardiology consultations and complementary diagnostic exams necessary for a correct assessment and monitoring of the cardiac patient.
Intended for dogs and cats, the general consultation can be carried out with or without an appointment, between 9am and 10pm. Please note that the hours after 10pm are only for emergency care.
We have an intensive care service with the required attention and dedication to the animal and with the necessary medical equipment for the stabilization of the animal and monitoring of the most varied parameters
The members of our team have a vast knowledge in dermatology, as dermatological symptoms are often manifestations of diseases within the field of internal medicine (which includes parasitology, endocrinology, allergology, toxicology and oncology). In addition to our team, we also count on the collaboration of a leading dermatologist. This consultation requires an appointment.
The mouth is the body’s main gateway, so its hygiene is essential to prevent many health problems, from pain when chewing to distant infections (kidneys or heart). The first consequence of a lack of oral hygiene is bad breath, which is frankly uncomfortable. To maintain or reestablish oral hygiene, animals need to undergo scaling and begin daily oral hygiene measures at home. For oral health screening and advice or for scaling.
Our team includes the experienced Dr. Pedro Canastreiro, dedicated to abdominal ultrasound since 2001 (and almost exclusively to ultrasound since 2005), as well as a state-of-the-art portable device, which allows travel to other veterinary care centers and at home. We also have Dr Alexandra Mira who has received advanced training and dedicated herself intensively to abdominal ultrasound in recent years. We also collect samples by ultrasound-guided puncture, for additional diagnostic means.
We count on the collaboration of Dr. Guilherme Valadares for chest ultrasound. This complementary diagnostic exam requires an appointment.
We perform ECG as part of cardiology consultations, check-ups and monitoring of intensive care or other diseases, particularly endocrine.
Combined with knowledge, we have equipment that allows immediate results for a large part of endocrine diseases.
Endoscopy is an imaging test that allows you to see the inside of cavities, such as the stomach or intestine. It is done under general anesthesia, by introducing a tube with a camera at the end (endoscope), through the mouth (upper endoscopy) or through the anus (colonoscopy). The images are transmitted to a monitor, in an enlarged form, allowing the veterinarian to examine the interior of the esophagus, stomach and intestine, in detail, allowing the diagnosis of inflammatory, cancerous or other lesions, or even discovering foreign bodies.
Endoscopy also makes it possible to collect tissue samples (biopsies) and fluids for analysis, and thus complete the diagnosis. It also allows you to remove foreign bodies that the animal has ingested or even remove small masses, such as polyps.
Although it is a very safe exam and much less invasive than surgery, it has some limitations. It is in fact quick to recover, not requiring hospitalization, nor post-operative care, as in surgery. It only requires the animals to spend a few hours in recovery to recover from the anesthesia. The limitations of this exam are diagnostic and the animal’s previous health. In the case of diagnosis, endoscopy does not detect all types of tumor, as it can only analyze the surfaces and not the deeper layers. In case of suspicion of neoplasia (tumor) in the deeper layers, without reaching the superficial layers, surgery will be a more appropriate means of obtaining biopsies. In the case of health limitations, although endoscopy is a safe examination, it is not completely risk-free, so a prior assessment of the animal (pre-anesthetic assessment) is recommended.
And as each case is different, our protocols are adapted to each animal, hence the need for prior assessment to obtain a quote. If you would like to obtain a quote, or make an appointment, call 214411252 and send a request from the attending veterinarian, with clinical history and exams carried out to the following email: housevet.cvpa@gmail.com.
In addition to preventing health problems, such as breast tumors, uterine infections or testicular tumors and prostate cysts, sterilization and castration also prevent behavioral problems, such as marking territory, and reproduction.
Laryngoscopy is an examination that allows the observation of the larynx, either in terms of lesions or in terms of function, using a laryngoscope or endoscope, with direct observation or images transmitted to a monitor, respectively. It is therefore indicated when there is suspicion of laryngeal paralysis, for example, among other diseases.
This exam requires sedation, with protocols that do not interfere with the normal functioning of the larynx. It is therefore recommended that there be a prior assessment of the animal’s health status, to determine the most appropriate protocol for your particular animal’s case.
If you want to schedule or obtain a quote, call 214411252 and send an email to housevet.cvpa@gmail.com, with a veterinary medical request, clinical history and exams already carried out.
In veterinary medicine, blood pressure is often under-reported, but we have equipment that allows us to routinely measure blood pressure to combat this tendency. It is a very important parameter to evaluate, as hypertension, for example, is often silent and can have devastating consequences if left untreated. We screen for hypertension. To book your Animal’s appointment, call: 214411252.
Counting on the collaboration of Dr Ana Paula Resende, a reference in the area, we offer ophthalmology consultations.
As animals’ life expectancy increases, cancers are more frequent. The evolution of veterinary care and the care provided by owners to their animals has also made it possible to diagnose and treat this type of disease more. Nowadays, cancer is no longer a fatality in most cases, and there are several therapeutic options that aim to cure or increase life expectancy after diagnosis, or just improve the quality of life in cases where this is not the case. possible.
Oncology requires an adequate definitive diagnosis, which involves identifying the type of tumor, through biopsy and its analysis using various techniques, such as histopathology or immunocytochemistry, as well as the staging of the disease (stage of development of the disease, the degree of invasion, existence of metastases), in order to plan the best treatment. Treatment can be surgical and/or chemotherapy, in addition to supportive treatment. Oncological treatments can also be palliative, in cases where a cure cannot be obtained, aiming to provide quality of life.
Chemotherapy does not have as many side effects, nor as severe, as in human medicine, and is quite well tolerated by companion animals, due to the fact that the doses used are much lower in veterinary medicine than in human medicine.
If you wish to make an appointment, call 214411252 and send an email to housevet.cvpa@gmail.com, with reference from the attending veterinarian and/or clinical history and exams already carried out.
Otoscopy is an examination that allows observation of the external auditory canal and the eardrum (external ear), through an otoscope, which is inserted into the ear canal, with direct visualization or the image being transmitted to a monitor. Allows the diagnosis of external otitis, or other diseases of the ear canal, such as polyps or neoplasms (tumors). It also allows the removal of foreign bodies, such as pests (dried herbs), samples (biopsies), checking the integrity of the eardrum and, thus, choosing the most appropriate treatment, especially in terms of hearing safety.
This examination can also be complemented by collecting material, using a swab, for cytology or microbial culture.
In order to perform otoscopy, the animal must be quiet, so sedation may be necessary if it is uncooperative or has an earache. In this case, prior evaluation is advisable, in order to choose the most appropriate protocol for each animal, depending on its health status.
If you want to schedule an otoscopy or obtain a quote, call 214411252 and send an email to housevet.cvpa@gmail.com with a veterinary medical request, clinical history and exams already carried out.
Can’t or don’t want to leave the house? We will have your home, with the necessary protection protocols against COVID-19, for home consultation or to simply pick up your animal to be assisted at our hospital, and then take it back home. We can also deliver food and veterinary medicines.

You can count on 24-hour veterinary support, just by showing up. In the case of an emergency, this must be signaled upon arrival at reception, so that screening can be carried out and the consequent medical and veterinary care can be provided in a timely manner. If your animal shows signs of not being well, do not let it worsen to the point where it becomes urgent or even emergent, as the prognosis worsens.
