Dierenartsenpraktijk De Driehoek

What Dierenartsenpraktijk De Driehoek does

Dierenartsenpraktijk De Driehoek is a first-line mixed veterinary practice headquartered at Zutphenseweg 50, Klarenbeek, Netherlands, serving the triangular area between Apeldoorn, Zutphen, and Deventer in the province of Gelderland. The practice was formed through a 2003 merger of three predecessor practices (Klarenbeek, Voorst, and Loenen), consolidated to a single clinic after the 2018 closure of its Twello branch, and is co-owned by veterinarians Edo Hamersma (livestock) and Monique Engelkes (companion animals) since 2018. Operations are organized into three service lines: companion animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, hobby poultry), farm animals (cattle, pigs, small ruminants), and horses, supported by 22 staff including 11 veterinarians and 11 paraveterinary/administrative personnel. Modern clinical equipment includes laparoscopic surgical capability, dental X-ray, up-to-date ultrasound, and an in-house laboratory with same-day processing for samples submitted before noon.

The practice operates a hybrid fee-for-service and subscription revenue model. Companion animal services are priced on a public fee schedule (consultations €55.50 for 15 minutes, €75.50 for 30 minutes; laparoscopic bitch spay up to €740 depending on weight) and booked via Vetstoria online scheduling or by phone. Farm animal and horse services include annual subscription programs: dairy cattle subscription (no call-out fees, 10% discount on hourly rates and vaccinations, customer portal access via Animana), pig subscription (no call-out fees, 10% discount on hourly rates, monthly disease control, medicine delivery), and horse worm subscription at €70/year including VAT (three fecal exams, year-end deworming, free delivery). Distribution is direct-to-consumer with ambulatory on-farm visits for livestock and horses, plus 24/7 emergency services. Marketing channels include Facebook, Instagram, segmented email newsletters, and information evenings for horse owners. The customer portal integr

Core offering

Dierenartsenpraktijk De Driehoek is a first-line veterinary practice providing preventive, curative, diagnostic, surgical, and emergency care for companion animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, hobby poultry), farm animals (cattle, pigs, small ruminants), and horses. Services are delivered from a clinic in Klarenbeek with ambulatory on-farm visits, supported by an in-house laboratory, imaging, and laparoscopic surgery capabilities. Recurring subscription programs for dairy cattle, pig farmers, and horse worm control provide recurring revenue and client lock-in.

Product overview

Dierenartsenpraktijk De Driehoek operates as a multi-service veterinary clinic offering three interconnected core service lines: companion animal care (gezelschapsdieren), farm animal services (landbouwhuisdieren), and horse care (paarden). The practice provides a comprehensive range of services including preventive care, surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, in-house laboratory testing, and emergency services. The companion animal services span dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and hobby poultry with offerings from annual check-ups to laparoscopic surgeries and dental care. Farm animal services cover cattle, pigs, and small ruminants with subscription-based programs offering farm visits, monitoring, and preventive care plans.

Others

• Animana: Animana is the veterinary practice management software (PMS) and client portal provider used by De Driehoek for its livestock and horse customers. It is an OTHERS peer — an infrastructure/enabling vendor rather than a competitor — but central to the practice's subscription and customer-portal moat.
• Vetstoria: Vetstoria is the online appointment-booking platform De Driehoek integrates with. It is an OTHERS peer because it is an enabling technology provider rather than a direct competitor, but it sits adjacent to the practice's distribution stack and is the SaaS layer that supports self-serve conversion.

Broad incumbents

• AniCura: AniCura is one of the largest veterinary care groups in the Netherlands and Europe, operating a network of clinics and animal hospitals. It is comparable as a broad incumbent offering multi-species services including companion animals and referral-level care, competing for the same regional Dutch pet-owner demand and pulling higher-acuity referrals away from smaller first-line practices like De Driehoek.
• IVC Evidensia Nederland: IVC Evidensia is a major European veterinary group with a substantial Dutch clinic footprint, including mixed and referral practices. It competes with De Driehoek for both general practitioner veterinarians (recruitment) and for pet-owner clients in overlapping Dutch regions.

Direct peers

• Sterkliniek Dierenartsen: Sterkliniek is a Dutch franchise/cooperative of independent first-line veterinary clinics offering companion animal and increasingly mixed services. It is a direct peer because it competes with De Driehoek on the same first-line general practice value proposition, with overlapping pricing structures and quality branding aimed at Dutch pet owners.
• De Graafschap Dierenartsen: De Graafschap Dierenartsen is a mixed veterinary practice in the Achterhoek/Gelderland region, serving companion animals, farm animals, and horses. It is a direct regional peer — overlapping service mix and Dutch rural catchment, and is even named in De Driehoek's own team bios as a previous employer of one of its vets.
• Lingehoeve Diergeneeskunde: Lingehoeve is a large Dutch veterinary clinic specializing in farm animals (cattle and pigs) with an ambulatory model and subscription-like herd health programs. It is a direct peer because its subscription-style cattle/pig offering and bound-veterinarian model closely mirror De Driehoek's landbouwhuisdieren subscription programs.

Regional players

• DAP Holten: DAP Holten (mentioned in De Driehoek's paravet bios) is a mixed veterinary practice in Holten, Overijssel. It is a regional peer serving overlapping livestock and companion animal demand in the eastern Netherlands and competes for the same ambulatory farm visits near the practice boundary.
• Dierenkliniek Deventer: Dierenkliniek Deventer is a veterinary practice based in Deventer, one of the three cities defining De Driehoek's catchment triangle. It is a regional peer operating in the same Gelderland/Overijssel corridor and serving similar companion animal and livestock customers in adjacent geography.

Emerging players

• Paardenkliniek De Morette: De Morette is a Belgian equine referral practice with Dutch client overlap for higher-end equine work. It is an emerging peer for the paarden segment because it draws second-line equine cases (dental, surgical) from the same broader Benelux horse-owning population that De Driehoek serves at first line.
