A vet in the house
Ana, Daniel and the kids
Bichos e Caprichos is a family — Ana, Daniel and their children — with a veterinarian in the house who has long experience with dogs and cats. The animals that stay with us are guests: they share our home in Penha de França.
Owners keep telling us the same thing: that we became their dog's second family, and that they finally had a holiday without worrying.

Entry 1
Guest: Celeste
I'd like to recommend Daniel for the excellent care he gave my dog Celeste. From the first moment he showed a lot of affection, patience and professionalism. Celeste felt completely at ease with him. Daniel kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time, which gave me peace of mind. I'll definitely trust him again.

Entry 2
Guest: Jessi
We want to thank this wonderful family, who welcomed us with such warmth even though we arrived late at night, and took in our beloved little dog Jessi as if she were one of their own. We are a family from Ukraine and we felt at home here. Not just a place to stay — a real home away from home.

Entry 3
The best pet service I have ever had! Daniel, Ana and their children are amazing people — they treat every animal like family and give owners all the support they can. They are literally my dog's second family; she loves them unconditionally and I'm at ease leaving her with them.
