AniCura AB is a European family of animal hospitals and clinics focused on primary and specialized veterinary care for companion animals. AniCura AB has operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The company comprise 200 animal hospitals and clinics that are visited by 2 million pets every year, mainly cats and dogs. The total number of employees is approximately 4,000 of whom 1,200 are veterinarians and half have some form of specialist qualification, either national or international specialisation.
Born out of the idea that sharing resources creates opportunities for better veterinary care, the company was established in 2011 as the first merger of companion animal hospitals in the Nordic region. Today, AniCura has an annual turnover of SEK 3 billion. The company's head office is located in Danderyd in Stockholm next to the AniCura Albano Animal Hospital. The vast majority animal hospitals and clinics specialize in specific subject areas such as internal medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology (eyes), neurology, dental medicine and dermatology. AniCura's animal hospitals act as referral and training bodies for many surrounding animal hospitals and clinics.
The company offers medical and surgical veterinary services for dogs, cats and other pets. This includes preventive care and basic health care as well as advanced diagnostics such as endoscopy and magnetic resonance tomography, intensive care and orthopaedics. AniCura also provides rehabilitation, physiotherapy and dietary advice and offers selected animal foods and care products.
In 2013, AniCura's Scientific Council was established tasked with promoting research; it bears overall responsibility for clinical research within AniCura. The Scientific Council seeks to support and ensure that AniCura works with evidence-based methods according to scientific and empirical evidence. In addition to this, the Veterinary Development Council was also established to monitor veterinary advances, ethics and strategic development. In 2015, AniCura established the AniCura Research Foundation to further strengthen scientific and clinical veterinary research and development. The purpose of the foundation is to provide funds for research into veterinary medicine. The investment thus contributes to the development of veterinary care and the improvement of companion animals'lives. In spring 2016, AniCura presented the industry's first quality report highlighting some important findings around medical quality within veterinary care.
