Lisbon Through the Eyes of a Veterinarian
A new city, a new chapter, a profession carried across borders.
Coming in Issue OneStories arriving in Issue One.
Founded by Dr. Soheyl Simaei — a veterinarian with more than two decades in clinical practice and veterinary business across Dubai and Europe — Vet On Board examines what the profession reveals about animals, people, science, pressure, trust, culture, and life itself.
Manifesto · Vet On BoardTwenty-plus years of veterinary practice and business across two continents. Stories told from the inside of the profession, not the outside.
No promotional content disguised as journalism. Sponsored work, when it appears, is labeled and never replaces clinical judgement.
Every story passes through clinical and scientific review. Vet On Board is editorial, not advisory — but it is built on real practice.
A new city, a new chapter, a profession carried across borders.

Veterinarian. Entrepreneur. Educator. More than two decades in clinical practice and veterinary business — including building and leading veterinary ventures across Dubai before relocating to Europe. Founder of the Veterinary Accreditation Institute (CPD education for veterinary teams) and Veterinary Longevity (a scientific authority brand on healthspan in animals).
Vet On Board is his most personal, public-facing project — a cinematic editorial platform built to document what twenty years inside the profession reveals about animals, science, culture, and the human stories behind veterinary life.
“I did not create Vet On Board to become another content creator. I created it because the profession had given me more than clinical experience. It had given me a way of seeing the world.”
