HOSPITAL VETERINARIO AL SUR SLP

What HOSPITAL VETERINARIO AL SUR SLP does

Hospital Veterinario Al Sur is a veterinary reference hospital headquartered at C/ José Luis Pujadas, 5 bajo, Granada, Spain, operating as part of IVC Evidensia, the largest European veterinary group with over 2,500 clinics across 20 countries. The hospital functions as a 24/7/365 referral destination for companion animal veterinarians across Granada province, serving individual pet owners and other veterinary practices that lack specialty equipment, advanced imaging, surgical expertise, overnight monitoring, or continuous emergency coverage. Service breadth spans 11 specialty disciplines: Cardiorespiratory, Anesthesiology, Exotic Animals, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Diagnostic Imaging, Neurology/Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Oncology, Traumatology, and Emergency/Hospitalization. Customer acquisition combines direct-to-consumer channels (website with online appointment booking, Instagram, phone scheduling) with a structured referral pathway for veterinary clinics, supported by a public "Derivar Casos" submission process.

The facility is equipped with two fully equipped operating theaters capable of simultaneous operation, digital radiography, rigid and flexible videoendoscopy, Doppler ultrasonography (pulsed, continuous, and color), advanced anesthesia and vital support monitoring systems, and an on-site laboratory capable of hematology, clinical biochemistry, electrolytes, blood gas analysis, serology, and microbiology. The clinical team comprises approximately 27 staff members, including three Clinical Directors (with credentials from institutions such as the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona and the GEVO orthopedics specialist group), a Practice Manager, ten veterinarians, twelve veterinary technicians, and support staff. A secondary branch in Ogíjares operates on reduced weekday hours. Revenue is generated on a pay-as-you-go professional services model with case-based pricing (not publicly disclosed), and the hospital accepts pet insurance; pet insurance and emergency surcharges suggest margin capture from premium and acute-care cases.

The business operates as a privately held Sociedad Limitada (HOSPITAL VETERINARIO SUR, S.L., NIF B18531301) under the IVC Evidensia umbrella, with no independent funding rounds or M&A events disclosed in the available data. Its strategic posture is that of a regional specialty referral hub: consolidating complex and emergency veterinary demand into a single multi-specialty facility that smaller general practices cannot match in either equipment or specialist coverage.
