Ciavet (legal name: Ciavet - Clínica Veterinária) is a privately held, single-location veterinary clinic headquartered at Av. Fernando Machado, 678 E in Chapecó, Santa Catarina, Brazil. It operates as a Centro Integrado de Atendimento Veterinário (Integrated Veterinary Care Center), offering 15 specialty services—including cardiology, orthopedics and traumatology, anesthesiology, oncology, radiology, ultrasonography, echocardiography, intensive care, feline medicine, dermatology, gastroenterology, endoscopy, and endocrinology—alongside general consultations, vaccinations, in-house laboratory diagnostics, digital radiography, and 24-hour emergency and hospitalization services with separate climate-controlled canine and feline wards.

The clinic employs approximately 18 staff, including seven or more specialized veterinarians with credentials registered with CRMV/SC (notably an orthopedic surgeon, a cardiologist trained at ANCLIVEPA SP, and an anesthesiologist), supported by an administrative manager, administrative assistant, and general services staff. The technical infrastructure comprises a fully equipped surgical block with inhalation anesthesia, mechanical ventilation, and multiparametric monitors; modern imaging including digital radiography, abdominal ultrasonography with color Doppler, and echodopplercardiography; and a clinical analysis laboratory capable of hematology, biochemistry, coagulation, urinalysis, fecal exams, cytology, and culture with antibiogram. Advanced surgical techniques such as TPLO for cranial cruciate ligament rupture are offered.

Ciavet's business model is direct-to-consumer fee-for-service professional services, with all revenue generated through in-person consultations, diagnostic procedures, surgeries, hospitalization, and emergency care delivered at the single physical facility. Customers reach the clinic via phone, WhatsApp, walk-in visits, and the company website; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is conducted through the clinic's own website, an active Facebook and Instagram presence, and a content blog with 151 educational articles on pet health, targeting pet owners in Chapecó and the surrounding region of western Santa Catarina.

Broad incumbents

• NVA (National Veterinary Associates): Large veterinary hospital platform operating general practice, specialty, and emergency clinics across the US. Comparable to Ciavet in offering integrated multi-specialty care with emergency capability, though at multi-site scale.
• Mars Petcare: Global pet care conglomerate operating veterinary clinics, diagnostic labs, and nutrition brands. Comparable to Ciavet as an incumbent setting standards for specialty veterinary delivery, though spanning the entire pet care value chain.
• Cobasi: Major Brazilian pet retailer that operates veterinary service centers in its stores. Comparable to Ciavet as a multi-specialty veterinary provider in Brazil targeting similar pet-owner segments, but with nationwide retail distribution Ciavet does not have.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Large North American network of animal hospitals with primary, specialty, and emergency care. Comparable to Ciavet in multi-specialty service breadth and diagnostic capabilities, though operating at vastly greater scale under Mars Petcare ownership.
• Petz: Brazil's largest pet retail chain with an expanding network of in-store veterinary clinics and hospitals. Comparable to Ciavet because both serve Brazilian pet owners with multi-specialty veterinary care, though Petz operates at national scale with institutional backing that Ciavet lacks.

Regional players

• Petlove: Brazilian online pet retailer with growing veterinary services arm. Comparable to Ciavet as a Brazilian pet services provider targeting the same owner demographic, though primarily operating through digital and retail channels rather than physical specialty hospitals.

Others

• Anclivepa Brasil: Brazilian association of small animal veterinary clinicians and credentialing body. Comparable to Ciavet because its members — including Ciavet's cardiologist — provide specialized continuing education and represent the talent pool Ciavet draws from for specialist recruitment.
• IDEXX Laboratories: Global leader in veterinary diagnostics, supplying laboratory equipment and reference lab services to clinics like Ciavet. Comparable because Ciavet's clinical analysis laboratory relies on similar diagnostic technology and competes on turnaround time against IDEXX-equipped competitors.

Direct peers

• Thrive Pet Healthcare: US specialty and emergency veterinary hospital network offering cardiology, oncology, surgery, and 24-hour care. Closely comparable to Ciavet's positioning as an integrated specialty referral center with continuous emergency availability.
• BluePearl Pet Hospital: US specialty and emergency veterinary hospital chain offering 24/7 specialty care including oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, and advanced imaging. Highly comparable to Ciavet's 'Integrated Veterinary Care Center' positioning across the same 15 specialties.
