Dogs and cats · fair prices · no receptionist, so send a message
A simple room, done properly
What happens in the consultório
One vet, one consultation room, and time to explain everything you ask. When your animal needs more than a consultório can give, she says so — and points you to the right place.
Dogs and cats, from kittens to seniors. A calm, careful exam and a plain explanation of what's going on and what comes next.
What we don't do here
There's no hospitalisation and no in-house imaging or lab. When your animal needs exams or a stay, Dra. Patrícia refers you and advises you — and keeps following the case.
- Hospitalisation
- Imaging & lab exams
- 24-hour emergencies
“Only lacks more services, like hospitalisation and exams, but they refer and advise.”
They know their patients by name
A few of the regulars
Names and words from the owners' own Google reviews.
“My cats actually like going to the vet.”
— Diogo Pinheiro
“I have 3 cats and 1 dog and I drive 50 km every time I go… I wouldn't swap Bichos Coloridos for any other vet.”
— Ana Afonso
One vet, since 2009
Dra. Patrícia
Bichos Coloridos is Dra. Patrícia's consultório on the Estrada da Serra da Mira, in Amadora. There's no reception desk and no marble floor — a simple room, a packed diary, and a vet who explains everything you ask.
Owners describe the same things over and over: she's careful and calm with the animals, she listens, she finds a gap in a full day for an urgent case, and her prices are "for ordinary people". Families have trusted her for 10, 13, 15 years — some moved house and still make the trip.
