Dierenkliniek Emmeloord

What Dierenkliniek Emmeloord does

Dierenkliniek Emmeloord is a privately held dual-practice veterinary clinic founded in 1966 and operated under GVE Vets (Netherlands) B.V. (KvK 66762464). It is headquartered at Espelerlaan 77 in Emmeloord, Flevoland, with a satellite walk-in clinic on Urk and a mobile equine field service (buitenpraktijk). The clinic employs 33 staff, including approximately nine companion-animal veterinarians, ten equine veterinarians, a board-certified veterinary radiologist, ECVS-certified surgical specialists, three in-house farriers, paraveterinarians and support assistants, and is staffed to provide 24/7 emergency cover for horses and after-hours phone triage for companion animals.

The clinic operates two integrated service lines under one roof: a Gezelschapsdieren (companion animal) practice for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and guinea pigs, and a Paardenkliniek (horse clinic) for horses, ponies and donkeys. Physical infrastructure includes two surgical theatres with gas anaesthesia and full peri-operative monitoring, a standing MRI, digital X-ray, ultrasound with colour Doppler, an in-house laboratory, and an ICU with 24-hour camera observation. The companion-animal side is ISFM Silver-certified Cat Friendly, with separate canine and feline waiting and treatment areas; the equine side offers minimally invasive arthroscopy and laparoscopy, IRAP and PRP injection therapy, shockwave and Tildren infusion, advanced reproduction services, and pre-purchase and breeding examinations conducted by officially recognised examining veterinarians. The clinic acts as a regional conduit for formal breeding-soundness records via Raad van Beheer (HD/ED), KWPN/PROK and Pawpeds (HCM/PKD) submissions.

The business model combines fee-for-service consultations and surgery with the Healthy Pet Club subscription (€14.50 rabbit / €18.50 cat / €19.50+ dog per month) and a Verzekerjehuisdier.nl pet-insurance affiliate widget. Acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the clinic website (Vetstoria booking), Google/Facebook reviews, and referrals from practices such as Anicura; the clinic draws patients from across the Netherlands rather than only the local region.
