Centro de Diagnóstico Veterinário

What Centro de Diagnóstico Veterinário does

Centro de Diagnóstico Veterinário (CDVET), legally CDVET Exames LTDA, is a privately-held veterinary diagnostic imaging center operating a single facility on Rua Ecoporanga, 132 in the Novo Horizonte neighborhood of Linhares-ES, Brazil. Founded in 2015, the company provides complementary diagnostic imaging services to companion animals (dogs and cats) referred by veterinary clinicians, and explicitly does not perform clinical consultations. Its service portfolio covers four primary imaging modalities — ultrasonography (using 3-18 MHz piezoelectric transducers), digital radiography (with optional contrast studies including esophagogram, gastrointestinal transit, excretory urography, urethrocystography, and myelography), and electrocardiography — alongside minimally invasive procedures such as fine needle aspiration (punção), cystocentesis, cytology, and thoracentesis. Operations run Monday through Friday from 8h00 to 17h00, and customers access bookings through an online appointment scheduling system on the company's Wix-hosted website.

The business model is a transaction-based, direct-to-consumer fee-for-service model serving two intertwined customer segments: companion animal owners with veterinary referrals, and partner veterinary clinics that channel patients to the center for imaging. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; appointments are booked online and service rates are quoted on inquiry. Distribution is wholly direct at the single Linhares location, with the company website serving as the primary marketing channel. The company is independently owned, with no disclosed parent, external investment, partnerships, awards, or management team information, and is operated as a regional Brazilian limited liability company (LTDA, CNPJ 26.884.661/0001-10). Revenue, headcount, and customer concentration are not disclosed in any source supplied.

Also used to guide cytologies, biopsies, and fluid aspirations. For companion animals referred by veterinary clinicians.
• Radiografia Digital (Digital Radiography) Digital X-ray imaging technique widely used in veterinary medicine for being fast, affordable, and minimally invasive. Assists in diagnosing osteoarticular, thoracic, and abdominal diseases in companion animals. Enables image manipulation and electronic transmission for professional consultation.
• Eletrocardiografia (Electrocardiography) Electrocardiogram examination for cardiac evaluation of companion animals.
• Exames Contrastados (Contrast-Enhanced Studies) Contrast-enhanced imaging studies including esophagogram, gastrointestinal transit, excretory urography, urethrocystography, and myelography to complement standard radiographic examinations.

Regional players

• Veterinary Specialty Hospital (VSH): VSH is a referral-only veterinary specialty practice offering advanced imaging, surgery, and internal medicine. It is a regional player comparable to CDVET as a referral-driven companion-animal diagnostic center, but based in a different geography.
• Centro Veterinário Diagnóstico (Brazil): A Brazil-based veterinary diagnostic center offering imaging and lab exams to companion animal owners. It is a regional player comparable to CDVET in that it operates the same diagnostic-only, referral-driven veterinary imaging model inside Brazil.

Broad incumbents

• BluePearl Veterinary Partners: BluePearl is a large network of veterinary specialty and emergency hospitals in North America offering advanced imaging, internal medicine, surgery, and oncology. It is a broad incumbent in the same specialty veterinary referral space, but operates at scale and breadth CDVET does not.
• Antech Diagnostics: Antech, owned by Mars Petcare, operates veterinary reference laboratories and imaging/diagnostic services across North America. It is a broad incumbent comparable to CDVET because it sits in the veterinary diagnostic services value chain, but at vastly larger scale and breadth.
• Heska Corporation: Heska manufactures and sells veterinary diagnostic instruments and laboratory tests (since acquired by Antech/Mars). It is a broad incumbent adjacent to CDVET because it supplies the imaging and diagnostic equipment used in small-animal diagnostic workflows.
• Idexx Laboratories: Idexx is a global leader in veterinary diagnostics, including in-clinic imaging instruments and reference lab services used by companion animal practices. It is a broad incumbent adjacent to CDVET's diagnostics-focused imaging offering for companion animals.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: VCA operates one of the largest networks of companion animal hospitals and specialty referral centers in North America, offering diagnostics and specialty care. It is a broad incumbent comparable as a large-scale veterinary care provider with in-house imaging capabilities.

Direct peers

• PetRays Veterinary Telemedicine: PetRays is a US-based veterinary teleradiology and telemedicine provider offering outsourced image interpretation to veterinary practices. It is a direct peer because it monetizes veterinary diagnostic imaging interpretation on a referral-style service model comparable to CDVET's local imaging services.
• VetCT: VetCT provides veterinary teleradiology, CT, MRI and ultrasound interpretation and specialist consulting to veterinary practices worldwide. It is a direct peer because it monetizes veterinary diagnostic imaging expertise on a referral basis, the same core activity that CDVET provides locally.

Others

• Sound Veterinary Imaging: Sound Veterinary Imaging supplies veterinary ultrasound equipment and imaging solutions to general and specialty practices globally. It is comparable as a veterinary imaging ecosystem participant that supplies the kind of equipment and training CDVET's business depends on.
