Dr Patrick Zarka runs a small veterinary practice on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, seeing cats and dogs for consultations, surgery and long-term medical care. Some clients have been with him for a decade or two. What comes up most in the feedback is diagnostic persistence: one owner arrived in Nice after five surgeries and years of monthly injections elsewhere for a chronically ill cat, and describes the problem finally being sorted out here.

He speaks English, and the reviewers who say so are expats dealing with the administrative side of owning an animal as much as the medical one: relocation paperwork, insurance, records transferred from another country, export formalities for a cat leaving France. Owners also describe him being straight about a poor prognosis instead of selling hope, in one case with a boxer's tumour. The critical reviews centre on price, with consultation fees and medicines described as well above what the same items cost elsewhere, and one account of a quotation that did not match the final invoice. Agree the cost before treatment starts.
