I regularly go there for my old dog's laser therapy.
Due to new rules in terms of remuneration for veterinary doctors (read : reduction), the clinic will be losing 1/3 of its veterinary doctors personnel. That's at a minimum. A lot more are thinking about leaving completely and starting another clinic elsewhere.
Reason given by my source : the clinic is owned by investment groups who want increasing returns to the detriment of care quality. I wouldn't recommend going there anymore.
Do you recommend other doctors/clinic ?

Altivet in Altitude 100.
They have a great team. They also have their own bloodwork lab, ultrasound and x-rays. Their prices are fair.

Thanks for sharing, I've noticed that they were indeed very business oriented but I liked the vet there, keep us notice of where they are going to work afterward !

well, the quality has been mediocre, to say the least, for a while now. A few years back my pet got a completely different treatment because they messed up the notes.

I have to say that when we first adopted our cats 5 years ago and we researched clinics in our neighbourhood, I was shocked by the quite bad reviews I had read about Champs du Roi. And these have continued also in one of the cat owners’ group I am on FB. Exception made for one vet in that studio.
We’ve been with Vetocambre since the beginning and they’ve always treated our cats with care. They also saved the life one of them from a foreign body stuck in a very difficult spot, just in between the stomach and the intestine with a delicate exploratory surgery.
If I have to find a « negative » (and I want to stress the inverted commas) is just that we’ve almost always had a different vet each year following our cats. A couple of weeks ago I had to call them to know if they had checked the results of the ultrasound they had prescribed us, and only then did they realise the vet assigned to our files had moved elsewhere in the meantime😅 So we are yet again with a new vet 🤷♀️

Thanks for sharing this. It's where I've been taking my cat since she came into my life. Always thought the service was good and the vets caring.
Would be interested in hearing some good cat options in the Vleurgat/Bailli/Flagey triangle.
