UVIP has a specialized service for the diagnosis and treatment of injured animals. The Portuguese Association of Search and Rescue is a reference in this area, which results from a clear investment in the training of our team as well as in the promotion of training actions with the population.
This unit is framed by a policy promoting the welfare of pets, veterinary care and primary health care.
Ensuring the transport of animals in emergency situations is the main purpose of UVIP.
Its main functions are:
- K9 health monitoring
