City of Espoo veterinarians
The City of Espoo veterinarians provide basic veterinary services. In addition, city veterinarians carry out official duties in accordance with the Veterinary Care Act, such as animal disease control, animal welfare supervision, and animal import and export inspections. The services are intended for the pets of residents in Espoo, Kauniainen, and Kirkkonummi.
The city veterinarians are available during office hours, i.e. Mon–Fri between 8:00 and 16:00. Urgent veterinary services outside of office hours (Mon–Fri 16:00–8:00 and around the clock on weekends) are provided by the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Helsinki(external link, opens in a new window).
Only basic veterinary procedures can be performed at the city veterinarians’ office. There are several private veterinary clinics in the Espoo, Kauniainen and Kirkkonummi area that offer a wider range of veterinary services.
