About us

LuxVet Group develops and integrates the Polish veterinary industry in a partnership-based, flexible business model. In cooperation with doctors and owners of leading animal health institutions, we create a new quality of services and raise the standards of work in the veterinary sector.

We open our own veterinary facilities

including the largest animal hospitals in Poland. We are creating them based on the knowledge of Polish medical authorities and the best Western European models. In the coming years, we will build 5 modern hospitals which will cooperate with other facilities of the Group across the country.

We integrate existing veterinary entities

from one-person practices to specialised clinics. We include them in our platform, offering their owners capital support and modern solutions: organisational, technological, equipment and training

We support their
further development

with respect for what they have already achieved. The facilities that join us retain their own brand and local identity. We do not change names, interfere in medical decisions or impose procedures. We listen and share knowledge, relieving the owners of management and administrative tasks to the extent that suits them.

We raise
the standards of work
in the veterinary industry

by increasing employee satisfaction. We propose solutions for better organisation of work and we provide access to specialised training and tools that enable professional development of the staff in our facilities.
