Free Veterinary Care at University Hospitals
There are specific NGOs in each state that do this kind of work and in some places there is even free castration provided by the town hall. But in general, the Veterinary Hospitals of the Federal Universities are recognized for the excellence of their services, offering free veterinary care, modern equipment and qualified teams.
A major advantage of these institutions is that, despite offering high-quality services, their costs are often lower than those of private veterinary clinics and hospitals.
These hospitals are spread all over the country and offer a wide range of services, from routine consultations to specialized surgeries. So here are some of the hospitals:
São Paulo Public Veterinary Hospital
For those who live in São Paulo, the SP Public Veterinary Hospital is a free option worth mentioning.
With two units strategically located in São Paulo, the hospital offers a wide range of veterinary services, including consultations, surgeries, laboratory tests, medication and hospitalization.
In addition, the hospital also has nine veterinary specialties, which guarantees comprehensive care for animals. You can take a look at some of the addresses on the website of the SP city hall.
