Tierklinik am Hasenberg

What Tierklinik am Hasenberg does

Tierklinik Kaiserberg (legal name: Tierärztliche Klinik für Kleintiere am Kaiserberg GbR) is an owner-operated small animal veterinary clinic headquartered in Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, operating since the 1960s. The clinic operates as a civil law partnership (GbR) among five named partners (Dr. J.-G. Kresken, Dr. M. Bausch, Dr. S. Saers, Dr. J. Spennes, Dr. M. Scholz) and is described as one of the largest owner-managed small animal clinics in Germany. It delivers general veterinary care, specialty medicine (surgery, cardiology, ophthalmology, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine), wildlife care, and an on-site pharmacy, with continuous 24/7/365 emergency availability — one of the few clinics in NRW maintaining this service under the new Notfalldienstverordnung effective November 28, 2024.

The clinic is staffed by approximately 50 veterinarians and 60-70 veterinary technicians (TFA), including multiple Fachtierarzt (FTA) specialists and Zusatzbezeichnung holders, and runs a vocational TFA apprenticeship pipeline (5-10 apprentices per year) traceable to the 1960s. Its diagnostic infrastructure includes four ultrasound units (one high-end 3-4D unit with contrast sonography, tissue Doppler, and strain analysis; first unit acquired in 1982), 3D-CT imaging (in use for 15+ years), digital radiography, C-arm fluoroscopy with cardiac catheter capability, arthroscopy, and flexible/rigid endoscopy suites.

Revenue is generated through professional services billed under the German veterinary fee schedule (Gebührenordnung für Tierärzte, GOT), with emergency services charged at a minimum 2x the standard GOT rate plus a statutory EUR 50 emergency fee (since February 14, 2020). Customers are individual pet owners (D2C walk-in and appointment-based) and referring veterinary practices across NRW that channel complex cases for specialist diagnostics, surgeries, and VDH-recognized breeding examinations. The clinic also hosts a continuing education program sponsored by major animal health vendors (IDEXX, Zoetis, Hill's, Laboklin, Dechra, CEVA, LIVISTO, Fresco) that functions as a referral funnel and ecosystem touchpoint.
