Our portals in Europe

Paw4care.com is one of our veterinary portals for cat and dog owners in Europe. Each portal is written in the language of its country and explains pet health and veterinary care the way they work there.

Our veterinary portals

Why each country has its own portal

Veterinary care differs from country to country. Clinics and emergency services are organised differently, vaccination advice and the rules for travelling with pets vary, and veterinary medicines are approved by national authorities. That is why each of our portals is written for one country and in its language.

What the portals share is the approach. We explain diseases and care in plain language, base our articles on reliable sources and give pet owners in every country the same practical tools.

What you will find on every portal

  • Guides to diseases of cats and dogs: symptoms, treatment and when to see a vet
  • Breed pages on character, care and typical health problems
  • A catalogue of active substances in veterinary medicines, without doses or advertising
  • Free tools: vaccination schedule, a poisonous-or-not checker, a cat symptom checker and a food calculator
  • Articles on veterinary care in the country
  • Veterinary news and events in the country

Each portal also has sections of its own, for example a directory of vets or readers' stories. You will find them on the page about each portal.

Frequently asked questions

Are the portals simply translations of each other?

No. Each portal is written for its own country: it covers local veterinary care, events and news, so the content differs from portal to portal.

Which portal should I read?

The one for the country where you live with your pet, or the one in the language you read best. If you are moving or travelling with a pet, the portal of the country you are going to helps you learn the local rules and find veterinary care.

Do the portals replace a visit to the vet?

No. Our portals explain and help you prepare, but only a vet can diagnose your pet and prescribe treatment.
