Vets in Copenhagen
14 clinics · Last updated July 2026
If something is wrong right now
AniCura Copenhagen Animal Hospital in Valby is open 24 hours, with surgery and diagnostics on site. University Hospital for Family Animals in Frederiksberg is a teaching hospital equipped for complex cases. Call before you set off — they’ll tell you whether to come, and be ready when you arrive.
For everything else: twelve clinics across the city, checked by us. The one thing worth doing before you need any of them is knowing which is nearest and whether they take walk-ins. Most central Copenhagen clinics have English-speaking staff.
If your dog finds the vet difficult
This is where Copenhagen has something unusual. Hundeklinikken in Østerbro is dog-only — no cats in the waiting room, and built around low-stress, fear-free visits. If your dog dreads it, start there.
Sallingvej Dyreklinik in Vanløse is calm and gentle with dogs who don’t love the vet. Dyreklinikken Værnedamsvej in Vesterbro is small and peaceful, with time taken for dogs who need it. Kongelunden Dyreklinik sits near green space, which makes for a quieter arrival.
We sat down with Katrine Hammer, who runs Hundeklinikken, about why some dogs dread the vet and what a clinic can do about it.
Neighbourhood clinics
Blågård Dyreklinik in Nørrebro — local, down-to-earth, faces you’ll know by name. Bryggens Dyreklinik on Islands Brygge is warm and reliable. Dyreklinikken Frederiksberg Allé is small and attentive. Fasanvejens Dyreklinik in Valby has been going since 1980 and is experienced with dogs of every shape.
Central and straightforward
City Dyreklinik in the city centre — vaccinations, papers, quick appointments. Centrum Dyreklinik in Frederiksberg is practical and clear. Amicis Dyreklinik is modern and thorough with a kind tone. Dyreklinikken Amagerbrogade is busy and well-equipped, no nonsense.
