The specialist veterinarians in Florence at the Il Poggetto Veterinary Clinic are an invaluable resource for pet owners and animal lovers in general.


Our professionals offer advanced expertise in various areas of veterinary medicine, ensuring high-quality care for animals requiring special attention.


In Florence, the presence of our specialised veterinary clinic allows us to address a wide range of conditions and complex situations. Among the most sought-after specialisations are surgery, orthopaedics, dermatology, cardiology, and oncology. For instance, veterinary surgery is crucial for treating trauma, congenital malformations, or degenerative diseases, while orthopaedics deals with joint and bone issues, which are especially common in large dogs and breeds predisposed to dysplasia.


Veterinary dermatology is vital for diagnosing and treating skin diseases, allergies, and infections that can cause discomfort and pain to animals. Cardiology is essential for monitoring and treating heart conditions, ensuring a longer and healthier life for animals affected by these problems. Veterinary oncology is equally important, providing advanced treatments and innovative therapies to combat cancer in pets.


Beyond technical skills, the specialist veterinarians in Florence are renowned for their dedication and passion for animal care. Their ability to empathise with patients and communicate effectively with owners helps create an environment of trust and collaboration, which is crucial for the success of treatments.
