Our team keeps training, and we keep modernising and expanding the clinic's equipment, so that every animal patient of ours receives the best medical care, handled both professionally and humanely.

We put the emphasis on prevention, which gives animals a healthier, longer and happier life. And when more is needed, the laboratory, X-ray and CT, ultrasound, endoscopy and two operating theatres are all under one roof.

Dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles and turtles, plus farm and exotic animals.

Owner and head vet
MVDr. Bystrík Nahalka
I graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Veterinary Sciences in Brno (1995). I worked at the veterinary polyclinic of MVDr. Vozár as lead veterinarian and surgeon.
Over more than thirty years in the field I have learned that a good diagnosis is half the success. Continuous education is the foundation for me, because it brings not only professional growth but, above all, full-fledged help to those who need it.
Today I run the modern, professionally equipped Veterinary Clinic Poprad. I make sure my team keeps learning and improving, and that we are a human support for animal patients and their owners as well.

What clients say
All reviews…after our Megy was attacked by a dog, we were told in Liptovský Mikuláš to come to this clinic straight away because of a hole in her lung. They were waiting for us right after the phone call and saw to her at once, professionally, with immediate surgery. Even though the first prognosis you gave us was not very optimistic, in the end everything turned out well and our little Megy is home with us… Doctor Nahalka, thank you for saving her…

Pricing
Selected procedure prices
A selection of the most common basic procedures. The prices shown are for the procedure itself; medication and materials used are billed according to actual consumption unless stated otherwise.
Important note: the complete price list of all veterinary procedures is not published on the website. The price of further examinations and procedures is determined by the individual case and the extent of the care provided.
Indicative minimum prices of selected veterinary procedures. The final price depends mainly on the patient's health, weight, the complexity of the procedure, anaesthesia, materials and medication used, and the length of hospitalisation required. Pre-operative blood work is not included in the price of procedures and is charged separately for every operation.
For planned surgical procedures we tell the client the expected price range before the procedure. Prices are indicative and may change for complicated or emergency patients, depending on the extent of care required.
We agree the exact price of procedures and treatment with you after an initial conversation and examination of your pet, and a calculation of the procedures, medication and materials required.
