What Dier en Dokter B.V. does

Dier en Dokter B.V. (legal entity: Evidensia Dierenklinieken B.V.) operates a multi-site companion animal veterinary clinic group in the southeast Brabant region of the Netherlands, with four locations across Helmond (headquarters), Mierlo, Eindhoven-Stratum, and Eindhoven-Hoogstraat. The practice delivers full-service small-animal medicine covering preventive care, diagnostics, general and orthopedic surgery, dermatology, dentistry, internal medicine, reproductive guidance, acupuncture, laser therapy, and physiotherapy, supported by in-house digital radiology, dental X-ray, ultrasound, and a laboratory. The business is a subsidiary of IVC Evidensia, the pan-European veterinary care platform, which provides brand standards, clinical protocols, group procurement, and a referral partnership with Evidensia Dierenziekenhuis Zuidoost Brabant for 24/7 emergency and specialist cases.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service clinical consultations and procedures supplemented by a recurring "Gezondheidsplan" (Health Plan) subscription priced at €20.25–€35.95 per month, which bundles preventive services (vaccinations, parasite control, annual check-ups, and discounts on additional treatments) into a monthly contract. The customer base consists of local pet-owning households in southeast Brabant. Operational differentiators include an ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic Silver certification at the Mierlo site, PennHIP accreditation for hip dysplasia screening, and standardized clinical quality frameworks inherited from the IVC Evidensia network.
