Animais

What Animais does

Clínica Animais (legal name Develey e Dias Diagnóstico por Imagem LTDA) is a privately held veterinary diagnostic center founded in 2001 in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, operating a single facility serving pet owners and referring veterinarians within a 150km radius. Its core products are advanced veterinary imaging services — a 16-channel multislice CT scanner (first in interior São Paulo since 2015), an open-bore 0.4T MRI (the only veterinary MRI in interior São Paulo, modernized in 2024), ultrasound with Doppler, digital radiology, echocardiography, and electrocardiography — complemented by an in-house clinical laboratory (operational since 2009) participating in Brazil's only veterinary pathology quality control program. The technological differentiator is the co-location of capital-intensive MRI and CT capabilities in a regional market, with supporting digital report delivery via a New Vertis-powered online portal.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model with pay-as-you-go, quote-based pricing (no public pricing). Customer concentration is split between individual pet owners (DTC, scheduled via phone, WhatsApp, and website) and B2B referring veterinarians who access patient reports through a dedicated partner portal. Marketing relies on a website, WhatsApp Business, and ABHV industry affiliation. The clinic is independently owned by its founding partners with no disclosed outside investment, and employs 161 staff including a multi-specialty veterinary team covering cardiology, surgery, orthopedics, neurology, anesthesiology, clinical pathology, and feline medicine. Clinica Animais is a single-site, regional diagnostic franchise with 23+ years of operating history, LGPD-compliant data handling, and a strong local brand position rather than a multi-unit or technology-platform business.
