Veterinários Sobre Rodas

What Veterinários Sobre Rodas does

Veterinários Sobre Rodas is a Portuguese veterinary services company that operates a hybrid delivery model combining mobile in-home veterinary consultations with three owned physical clinics located in Sintra Cascais, Porto Bessa, and Margem Sul-Almada. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lisbon, the company targets individual cat and dog owners across mainland Portugal, with home-visit coverage spanning the regions of Lisboa, Porto, Braga, Aveiro, Setúbal, and Santarém. The core value proposition centers on reducing pet stress and owner inconvenience by bringing professional veterinary care directly to the pet's home, complemented by in-clinic services for procedures and customers who prefer a physical setting.

The service portfolio spans preventive and clinical care (consultations, vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, clinical analyses, veterinary certificates), end-of-life services (home euthanasia, individual and collective cremation, deceased-pet collection and transport), ancillary retail (SPA and grooming in Porto and Almada), and the VET360 Check-Up Veterinário Completo flagship program. The company also offers breeding-related services for dogs and cats. Technology is operational rather than platform-based: a public website with online booking, a content-marketing blog covering 15+ disease and wellness topics for SEO-driven acquisition, and direct WhatsApp/phone (917 002 923) channels for scheduling. There is no disclosed mobile application, API, or proprietary AI capability.

Commercially, Veterinários Sobre Rodas is a direct-to-consumer professional services business; revenue is generated per visit/service, pricing is not publicly disclosed, and quotes are issued on request via WhatsApp or phone. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investors, or funding rounds, and operates with approximately 21 employees. Marketing is primarily content-driven (blog, organic search, website) with conversion via direct contact channels, and customer acquisition relies on word-of-mouth and search visibility rather than paid media.
