In the European Economic Union we have domestic populations of just over 100 million cats and around 85 million dogs. Practicing veterinarians in Europe however count just over 264,000 individuals.
The most recent figure of approximately 264,000 practicing veterinarians in Europe comes from the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE). This number includes veterinarians across various sectors, including clinical practice, research, and public health. You can find this information detailed in reports and publications from the FVE, which regularly updates its data on the veterinary profession across the European Union and surrounding regions.
For direct reference, you may consult the FVE’s official website or its published reports on the state of the veterinary profession in Europe.

Simply type in your city, state, or zip code in the search bar above to find a veterinary counselor helping people in your area. Finding a veterinarian near you is helpful if you’re seeking in-person veterinary care. With online veterinary counseling, you have more flexibility in choosing a veterinarian best suited for your needs.
Finding the right veterinarian for your pet can seem overwhelming, but you can narrow down your search by considering what type of veterinary counseling you’d like to pursue. Take a few minutes to read through some veterinarian profiles to see their different areas of expertise.
After taking our short questionnaire, you can instantly message the veterinarian that you’ve been matched to and schedule a time with them for a live counseling session. You can message your veterinarian as often as you would like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Online veterinary counseling typically allows you to connect with a veterinarian more often than in-person does.
Traditional in-office veterinary services typically cost €40 – €70 per visit, while online veterinary counseling ranges from €15 – €20 per week (billed every four weeks).
With face-to-face veterinary services, you’re paying for one live visit to the vet, and you generally cannot contact your veterinarian between visits. With online veterinary counseling, you’re paying for one live counseling session per month, as well as the ability to message your veterinarian 24/7. With VeterinaryDAO veterinary counseling, veterinarians typically check their messages once or twice a day.
If you believe your pet is in need of urgent care – don’t use this site. VeterinaryDAO is designed to offer remote consultations for non-urgent matters.
In emergency situations, it’s crucial to seek immediate in-person veterinary care. Familiarize yourself with local emergency veterinary services for rapid response to critical situations. Our comprehensive database of European Union based veterinarians and animal health care providers is a great place to start! Also, these resources may be able to provide you with immediate help.
