Private veterinary practice

I work as a practising veterinary doctor with dog and cat owners in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

The appropriate format depends on the animal’s condition, the information available, and whether the question can be handled safely without an in-person examination.

Ways to work with me

We clarify the question and agree on an appropriate format before proceeding.

Mobile veterinary care

Care for dogs and cats in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region by prior arrangement.

In-person interaction

An in-person format may be arranged in advance depending on the question and location.

Remote discussion

We can discuss existing medical information and the next well-founded actions.

Diagnostic imaging

I use it as a clinical assessment tool alongside history, examination, and other available evidence.

How the process works

  1. Context

    You describe the question, the animal’s condition, and the available information through the online consultation application or contact page.

  2. Format

    I consider which format is appropriate. An application does not mean the case has been accepted; price and next steps are agreed separately.

  3. Next step

    After a discussion or examination, I explain the limits of the assessment and the next well-founded step.

Professional principles

Clinical context
I interpret information in relation to history, the animal’s condition, and the clinical question.
Clear boundaries
I separate verified information from assumptions and state the limits of the available evidence.
Responsible technology
Technology can support a doctor’s work with information, but it does not replace clinical reasoning.

Limits of remote discussion

A remote discussion does not replace a physical examination and is not intended to provide a definitive diagnosis without the necessary clinical information.

A final decision may require an in-person visit, examination, and further diagnostics. Remote discussion is not suitable for emergencies.

Client feedback

Translated from the original Russian reviews.

  • Thank you to Artur for a professional consultation. He answered all my questions clearly and promptly and provided understandable recommendations for the next steps.

    Cat owner

  • When a road closure made an in-person veterinary visit impossible, the consultation helped us understand the next steps for our dog. Thank you for the professional approach.

    Dog owner

  • Artur took a careful history, examined the cat, and explained each step in detail. He provided a clear and structured treatment plan, answered every question, and remained available after the visit to check on the cat’s condition.

    Cat owner

  • The doctor arrived at the agreed time, performed an ultrasound examination, collected blood samples, examined the cat, and answered all our questions. He was attentive, considerate, and gave the pet the time she needed.

    Cat owner

  • Artur carefully reviewed the previous test results, performed a thorough examination, and recommended only the necessary additional tests. The next treatment steps were to be determined after the results became available.
