The Vétéo Team

Théo Decalf

Veterinary surgeon and founder

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine since 2019, I practised in Belgium, Normandy and finally Switzerland.

I am first and foremost a doctor and general veterinary surgeon, and obtained additional certification in cardiology in 2024-2025.

My favourite areas are general medicine, cardiology, pain management, nutrition and dentistry.

I am a passionate veterinarian doing a passionate job. I value taking the time to be with you and your companions, and above all, taking the time to explain, making every medical procedure clear and easy to understand.

That's why I decided to found Vétéo in 2025: to practise my profession with the greatest freedom, in a setting that suits me.

I share my life with Moon, a dog who was once paraplegic and who completed all her rehabilitation in our beautiful Swiss mountains.

Music also holds an essential place in my life. It’s one of the reasons why this building, rooted in the musical history of the 20th century, resonated with me from the very first visit.

Whether we already know each other or you are meeting me for the first time, I will be glad to welcome you and care for your companions.

See you soon!

Moon

Vétéo's mascot

Moon is the dog you may occasionally meet in the waiting room. Originally from Réunion Island, she was found wandering under a hedge before being adopted by Théo in 2019.

Following a road traffic accident that occurred after she was frightened by fireworks, Moon suffered a severe fracture of the seventh lumbar vertebra with major displacement. She was left completely paraplegic, with a very poor prognosis for recovery.

A surgical procedure was nevertheless attempted in Normandy by an orthopaedic specialist, followed by many months of rehabilitation carried out by Théo himself, including physiotherapy, laser therapy, a cart and electrostimulation. Against all expectations, Moon gradually regained motor function. After moving to Switzerland, I continued her rehabilitation on a daily basis, through exercises carried out in the magnificent mountains of the region.

Today, her recovery is almost complete. Moon does, however, remain incontinent, so please be aware: if she is very happy to see you, she may sometimes show it in a very spontaneous way.
