A place that feels like home — Caring, Welcoming and Belonging.
Parede · Cascais
At the Holi.Pet & Family Veterinary Centre, every companion and their family feel at home: every story is listened to and every family is welcomed with closeness, empathy and understanding.
We believe that caring also means welcoming. That is why we combine an integrative view of health with individualised follow-up, respecting the uniqueness of each being and the special bond of each multispecies family.

from the Greek holos: “whole”, “entire”
We believe that every living being should be understood as a whole. Looking at the patient as a whole means recognising that every dimension of who they are is interconnected and deserves attention, understanding and care.
our best friends
Every companion is a unique being, with their own personality, story, needs and way of relating to the world around them. We value their individuality and respect their essence, recognising that every patient deserves to be listened to, understood and cared for in a unique way.
the people and the home around them
Family matters to us! It is one of the fundamental pillars of each patient’s health and well-being. Guardians, carers, the shared environment and the relationships between species are part of their reality and shape their life. That is why we value guardians and carers as essential partners on a path of awareness, care and transformation.
We now know that looking at the body as a set of separate systems is a limited approach. Simply treating and suppressing symptoms does not bring long-term healing, let alone a long life with quality and well-being.
Working on the three pillars of health in an integrated, respectful and individualised way allows us to build personalised care strategies, focused on longevity and on a life with more health, balance and quality.
We look deeply into the body’s imbalances, with a thorough diagnosis and treatment tailored to each case.
Home, routine, diet and the outside world all play a direct role in your companion’s health.
Emotions and the bond with the family matter as much as the body, and we work on them with the same care.
From the very first consultation, each patient is assessed in a unique and individualised way, taking into account their history and needs. Guardians receive personalised guidance and information on:
We offer a wide and complete range of diagnostic and therapeutic methods, bringing together knowledge from many medical traditions, from the most ancient to the most modern. This allows us to make choices that are better suited and more respectful for each patient.
Brings together conventional veterinary medicine and complementary approaches, looking at the patient as a whole: body, emotions and the environment they live in.
Diet plans tailored to each patient, to keep them healthy or to support the treatment of an illness.
Acupuncture, herbal medicine and other techniques of Chinese medicine, which aim to restore the body’s balance.
A thermal imaging exam, contact-free and painless, that helps locate areas of inflammation or circulation changes.
Therapeutic use of medical ozone as a complement to treatment in a range of clinical cases, always under veterinary guidance.
Bioresonance assessment and therapies, which complement the patient’s diagnosis and follow-up.
Homeopathic remedies chosen individually, taking into account each patient’s symptoms and temperament.
Fluids and nutrients given intravenously or subcutaneously, to hydrate and support the body through more demanding phases.
A complementary therapy that uses light and colour to promote relaxation and well-being.
Essential oils and flower essences, carefully chosen and safe for each species, to support emotional balance.
Small gold beads placed at acupuncture points, used mainly to support cases of chronic joint pain.
Unhurried consultations, a plan designed for each patient and close follow-up for the whole family.
Our in-house laboratory carries out complementary tests that support ongoing health and complete medical diagnoses.
At the Holi.Pet & Family Centre you will find our in-house laboratory, offering specific services and complementary tests that support ongoing health and complete medical diagnoses.
The laboratory is open to all guardians who would like a full check-up for their companion, even if they are not patients of the centre.
Available tests:
A complementary service, guided by Dr Raquel Ribeiro, that sees the patient as part of a larger system: their family and their environment.
Family Unit Support is a complementary service at our centre, guided by Dr Raquel Ribeiro in partnership with her project 1SÓ. It recognises each patient as part of a larger system: their family and their environment.
It is based on the understanding that health is expressed not only in the physical body, but also in the way each companion relates and responds to their emotional, family and environmental context. The aim is to support and guide the family, fostering greater awareness, balance and harmony in the bond between guardian and companion, and giving a voice to the companions who are part of the multispecies family.
This support for the family strengthens one of the essential pillars of health: the conscious balance of the family system.
It does not replace veterinary consultations or care: it complements the integrative, personalised clinical plan defined for each patient.
Resident Integrative Veterinarian
My mission is to give patients a voice, so that their guardians and carers understand their health in a complete, conscious and respectful way, promoting the well-being of everyone — the Multispecies Family. My practice is guided by care, patience and love, with deep respect for the individuality of each companion and each family. I am grateful for the trust placed in me and for the opportunity to fulfil this mission.

My aim is to use every kind of medicine to improve my patient’s health as much as possible, without causing harm and seeking the most comfortable way to get there, respecting the principles and the science of each medical technique I know, and always with the guardian’s fully informed consent.

My mission is to give animals a voice, honouring their mission of unconditional love, and to expand awareness of the deep and magical unity between an animal and their family. It is in this work with the unit — animal and guardian — that I believe lies the key to a more conscious, lasting healing and a better quality of life for the whole family.
We received (…) from Dr Isabela all the support we needed to change her quality of life. A balanced diet, and treatments carried out with responsibility and love. Lara is completely different. She had joint pain and gut imbalances; today everything is balanced. I have changed too: I learned to notice any change in behaviour or discomfort. Today she is a happy, healthy animal, and that is priceless! Seeing them happy makes us happy too.
With Holi.Pet I learned healing through love, the symbiosis between an animal and their human. Connecting with the animal’s emotions through the emotions of their guardians. The animals who come into our lives have a mission with us, and it is up to us to understand their messages. By changing our own patterns, we can often clear our animal. Ganoush has left this physical plane, but his teachings were understood. And without a doubt, the first time I encountered that reality, and the endless possibilities of unconditional love between animals and their guardians, was at Holi.Pet.
We are very grateful for the way we were welcomed at the Centre and for how you have helped us with Norah. She has more vitality, she can chase the birds in the garden again, and she is less anxious and less possessive. You have given us essential tools to act quickly in situations of physical pain (her knee), emotional distress, digestive problems, false pregnancy and so much more. It has been a fantastic experience. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl.
After looking into several veterinary alternatives, this was the only place able to meet our needs, with innovative activities that bring guardians closer to their four-legged friends.
A space thoughtfully designed in every detail, very welcoming for animals and guardians alike, and excellent care! My little dog is benefiting a lot and the treatments are working. Investing in natural care is really worth it, to give our companions a healthy, happy life! Grateful that Holi.Pet exists! 🙏🏻
