Medivet Group of Companies

What Medivet Group of Companies does

Medivet Group of Companies is the largest private veterinary healthcare group in Malaysia, founded in 1972 in Kuala Lumpur by Datuk Dr. S. Sivagurunathan as the country's first private small animal practice (originally City Vet Clinic) and now led in its second generation by sons Shrilan Sivagurunathan (Managing Director) and Dr Amilan Sivagurunathan. The group operates a vertically integrated ecosystem of at least ten wholly-owned subsidiaries plus the Nature Hill Farm joint venture, spanning companion-animal hospitals (Animal Medical Centre Sdn Bhd), a multi-disciplinary diagnostic laboratory (Medivet Laboratory), rehabilitation services including Class IV Laser, ultrasound, hydrotherapy, and stem cell therapy, pet boarding (Pet Lodge), grooming (Pet Salon), and global pet and livestock relocation (Mobivet).

The group's commercial model combines professional veterinary services with consumer-retail and B2B distribution revenue. Pets Corner Sdn Bhd distributes prescription and wellness diets, supplements, hygiene, and healthcare products to veterinary clinics, pet shops, and hypermarkets across Malaysia and abroad, leveraging its 1978 first-mover position introducing US prescription nutrition to Asia. Pets Paradise Sdn Bhd operates a retail chain and e-commerce storefronts on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok targeting companion-animal owners. Adjacent revenue streams include government tender consultancy (Veterinary Management & Consultancy), HRDF-claimable training and venue rental (Medtec), and sustainable goat breeding and eco-farming (Nature Hill Farm JV).

Medivet's go-to-market blends direct-to-consumer clinical and retail channels with B2B wholesale and channel-partner distribution, supported by an in-house CRM/SQL platform and partnerships with practice-management software vendors Covetrus (RX Works), systems integrator I-Vision, and Halal-traceability provider Centaur Global Resources. The customer base spans pet owners (primary), government agencies, veterinary clinics, pet retailers, and livestock operators. The group holds regulatory and professional affiliations with the Ministry of Agriculture Malaysia, Department of Veterinary Services, MSAVA, VAM, UPM, and international bodies including AAHA and VECCS, which underpin its government-tender positioning and its 1990 appointment as the first private training institute for UPM veterinary graduates.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Pets at Home: UK integrated pet retailer with in-store veterinary practices (Vets4Pets referral) and grooming. Closest analog to Medivet's combined retail + vet services + grooming model, scaled in the UK.
• PetSmart: North America's largest specialty pet retailer with in-store and partner veterinary services, grooming, and training. Comparable retail-led pet ecosystem structure, scaled to North America.
• Greencross Vets: Australia's largest integrated veterinary group with retail and clinical operations. Broadly comparable integrated veterinary-services-plus-retail model to Medivet, but at much larger scale and public-market capital access.
• CVS Group: UK-listed integrated veterinary services group with companion animal practices, diagnostics, and laboratories. Directly comparable to Medivet's hospital-plus-diagnostic-lab structure, scaled to a developed market.
• Mars Petcare (Banfield, VCA, BluePearl): Global pet care giant owning Banfield Pet Hospital, VCA Animal Hospitals, and BluePearl specialty/emergency networks. Sets the global benchmark for integrated companion animal veterinary scale that Medivet operates in at a Malaysian level.

Emerging players

• VetStrategy: Canadian veterinary group operating a multi-clinic companion animal hospital network. Comparable emerging integrated vet-group model pursuing consolidation, but in a different geography.

Regional players

• Anicom Holdings: Japan-based animal healthcare company operating specialty veterinary hospitals and diagnostic labs. Comparable integrated vet-and-diagnostics model, focused on the Japanese market rather than direct Malaysian competition.

Direct peers

• Petsmore: Malaysian pet retail and services chain operating physical stores and e-commerce. Directly comparable to Pets Paradise retail and competing for the same Malaysian pet owner segment.
• Pet Lovers Centre: Singapore-headquartered integrated pet retailer and grooming/services operator with expanding presence in Malaysia. Directly comparable to Medivet's Pets Paradise retail and Pet Salon/Grooming operations, and overlaps on veterinary-adjacent services in the same geography.

Others

• Hill's Pet Nutrition: Global leader in science-based pet nutrition (owned by Colgate-Palmolive) and a key brand principal distributed by Pets Corner in Malaysia. Comparable through overlapping nutrition/distribution focus, though it is a supplier rather than direct competitor.
