Clinical Background

Dr. Paulo Morouço graduated from the Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária at the Universidade Técnica de Lisboa in 2008, one of Portugal's leading veterinary faculties. He is a licensed member of the Ordem dos Médicos Veterinários (Membership No. 4504), the national regulatory body for veterinary practice in Portugal.

With 18 years of hands-on clinical practice, Dr. Morouço has worked exclusively in small animal medicine, focusing on dogs and cats. His clinical work spans internal medicine and surgery, giving him direct experience with the conditions, risk factors, and presentations that affect companion animals throughout their lives.

All health content on BreedRisk is written and reviewed by Dr. Morouço in his capacity as the site's clinical author. Every condition description, risk statement, and source citation has been validated against peer-reviewed veterinary literature before publication. BreedRisk does not publish health claims that cannot be traced to a cited source.

BreedRisk is an educational tool. The information on this site is intended to help dog and cat owners understand breed health risks and recognise potential warning signs — it does not replace a consultation with a licensed veterinarian. For your pet's individual health needs, always consult a vet in person.
