What AMVAC - Asociación Madrileña de Veterinarios de Animales de Compañía does

AMVAC (Asociación Madrileña de Veterinarios de Animales de Compañía) is a nonprofit professional association founded in 1981 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain, that serves companion animal veterinarians across the Madrid region. Its core proposition bundles continuing education, professional advocacy, and a set of operational services for member clinics, including FORMAMVAC accredited training (recognized by AVEPA for continuing-education credits), a congenital-disease diagnostic center offering radiographic interpretation, a member-only job board (Bolsa de Empleo), a quality certification program (Certificación de Calidad AMVAC) with associated subsidies, and pet microchip registration and distribution. Members additionally receive access to the private member portal, WebSeminars, the Centro Veterinario journal, an annual Vetmadrid congress, and lifestyle benefits through AMVAC Cultural.

The organization also operates a public-facing layer for pet owners, including the Buscador de Centros Veterinarios search engine and consumer information guides on vaccination, deworming, regulation, and travel with pets. Its commercial activity is funded primarily through recurring membership fees, supplemented by event and congress revenue (Vetmadrid) and training-program sponsorship — partnerships with AVEPA, Elanco, and IVC Evidensia are visible on training and job-board pages. Distribution is fully digital via its website (www.amvac.es), Facebook, Twitter, and email, with a single Madrid office and no disclosed subsidiaries, investors, or parent entity. The technology footprint is limited to a membership website, member portal, and external news portal (enelveterinario.com); no AI, data platform, or software product beyond these standard web properties is disclosed.

Others

• Elanco Animal Health: Global animal health company that sponsors AMVAC's FORMAMVAC training program. Comparable as a sponsor and partner that supports veterinary continuing education in Spain and competes for veterinary mindshare.
• Affinity Petcare: Major Spanish pet food manufacturer (part of Agrolimen group). Comparable as a Madrid-headquartered pet industry participant that sponsors veterinary events and runs parallel continuing education initiatives for vets in Spain.
• Royal Canin (Royal Canin España): Major pet nutrition manufacturer with deep ties to veterinary continuing education and sponsorship of veterinary events across Spain. Comparable as an ecosystem participant that co-funds and shapes veterinary professional development.

Broad incumbents

• Consejo General de Colegios Veterinarios de España: National umbrella organization for official veterinary professional colleges in Spain. While not a membership association in AMVAC's style, it represents veterinarians at a regulatory and advocacy level, overlapping with AMVAC's professional defense mission.
• American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA): US national veterinary association. Comparable as a large-scale professional association providing continuing education, accreditation, advocacy, and member services to companion animal practitioners at a national level.
• British Veterinary Association (BVA): UK national veterinary association with a similar member-services model (CPD, publications, advocacy, job board). Comparable as a mature national/regional professional association providing analogous services to companion animal vets in another European market.

Direct peers

AMVAC has a formal accreditation partnership with AVEPA for FORMAMVAC, and both serve overlapping professional development and continuing education missions for companion animal vets.

Regional players
