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.

Dog at a veterinary clinic in Copenhagen

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.

What’s the difference between a regular vet and an emergency vet?

Regular clinics cover everyday care — check-ups, vaccinations, and appointments during standard hours. Emergency vets are set up for urgent cases, with specialised equipment and staff trained for critical care. Many are open 24/7.

How much does a vet cost in Denmark?

It varies considerably by treatment and clinic. Worth asking when you book.
