Carolina Paz, DVM MRCVS
Veterinary Surgeon
Hi! I am Carolina Paz, a Veterinary Surgeon, as well as a mum, a wife, and an artist. I love my job and looking after others, especially geriatric patients "the oldies".
I graduated from the University of Évora in 2016 - Portugal. I have worked and gained experience in many different areas of small animal medicine. Feeling the need to help the patients with osteoarthritis, I extended my studies into chronic pain management by doing a Certificate of Canine Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy and learning with other experienced vets that used other types of techniques such as acupuncture and non-invasive approaches.
I am from Portugal, although I consider myself to be from the world since I was born in Macau - China and grew up in Mozambique - Africa. I have been living in the UK since 2017 and this is my new loved home! When I am not working as a Vet or a mum, I love taking care of my self-health balance, that could be by doing yoga, reading a wonderful book in the garden or doing pottery (what could be more as a challenge than it might seem).

Here’s a surprising fact: a 10kg dog eating wet food creates 6,541kg of CO₂ emissions yearly. The same dog would generate just 828kg of CO₂ emissions when fed dry food instead. The dry pet food industry generates greenhouse gas emissions of 56 to 151 Mt CO₂, making it equal to the 60th highest-emitting country.
Babesiosis in dogs: Critical symptoms British owners often miss
08/07/26
Babesiosis is a potentially fatal disease in dogs that is becoming an increasing concern across Britain, beyond animals that have travelled or been quarantined. The illness is caused by Babesia protozoal parasites, which are transmitted by infected ticks. Once inside the body, these parasites invade and destroy red blood cells, leading to serious complications such as anaemia, jaundice, organ failure, and, without prompt treatment, death.
