Capri has NO full-service 24/7 veterinary hospital on the island — this is the single most important fact for any pet traveller. The two local clinics (one in Anacapri, one in Capri Town) handle routine care during business hours; for nights, weekends and emergencies the official referral hospital is in Naples, reached via the last ferry (around 22:00 Apr-Oct) or the night Caremar service.

Studio Veterinario Dott. Antonio Vacca

Capri Town · Via Provinciale Marina Grande 14, 80073 Capri NA

Capri Town's main practice on the road from Marina Grande to the Piazzetta. Walk-ins accepted in the morning; weekend cover by phone only. No surgery on site for major emergencies.

🕐 Mon-Sat 09:00-13:00, 16:30-19:30📞 +39 081 837 0823🌍 Italian, basic English

💡 Call ahead before walking up: the practice closes for lunch 13:00-16:30 and for emergencies Dr. Vacca refers directly to the Naples 24h clinic.

Ambulatorio Veterinario Anacapri

Clinica Veterinaria San Francesco (Naples reference 24h)
