Practice Management and reception

"Every living thing is valuable."

My name is Christin Bechmann. I am the head veterinarian and am always here for you and your pet, whether you have minor or major concerns. Whether it’s preventive care, surgery, or specialized care, you’ll find professional help for your pets here. Thanks to our appointment-based system and low-stress procedures, your visit will be as pleasant as possible for both you and your furry friend.

Our goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable here. That’s why we see our primary mission not only in treatment, but especially in disease prevention and comprehensive diagnostics.

We want your pet’s visit to be as stress-free as possible, which is why we use special pheromone diffusers for cats in the waiting room and treatment room. Our appointment-only policy also keeps wait times short and ensures a calmer atmosphere. Additionally, in the reception area, you’ll find essential oil-infused blankets for your cat’s carrier, which help calm the animals and provide a sense of security. And so that the dogs don’t feel left out, we always have a treat ready for them at our practice :-)

Our goal is for both animals and people to feel at home here. That’s why we see our primary mission not only in treating illnesses, but especially in preventing them and providing comprehensive diagnostics. Enjoy browsing our website. My team and I look forward to your visit with your faithful companion and warmly welcome you to our practice.

Hours, Appointments, and Prices at Your Veterinary Clinic in Berlin Mitte

Appointment Hours

To ensure we have enough time for you and your pet, we operate on an appointment-only basis. This helps avoid unnecessary wait times at the small animal clinic and makes your visit to the veterinarian a more relaxed experience.

Therefore, please schedule appointments only by phone. If we are unavailable, it means we are either seeing a patient or on a house call; in that case, please leave a message on our answering machine, and we will call you back as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can use the contact form to request a callback or book an appointment online.

House Calls in Berlin Mitte und Prenzlauer Berg

For pets that are prone to stress or in special situations, we offer in-home veterinary visits. This allows your pet to remain in its familiar surroundings, ensuring a relaxed treatment experience.

If you have questions about specific topics (opening hours, services, pet food consultations, etc.), please use our contact form or feel free to reach out to us.

We always appreciate positive feedback.

What to do in an Emergency?

If your pet is in a life-threatening condition, please remain calm at all costs. Calling ahead can often help us make important preparations before the patient arrives. We ask for your understanding that emergencies must be prioritized.
