Tierklinik Lüsche GmbH

What Tierklinik Lüsche GmbH does

Tierklinik Lüsche GmbH is a privately held equine veterinary hospital headquartered in Bakum-Lüsche, Lower Saxony, Germany, with a second location opened on 1 May 2026 in Steyerberg. The clinic describes itself as one of the largest and most modern horse clinics in Europe, employing 120+ staff across 13 specialist departments covering surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics, ophthalmology, podiatry, rehabilitation, imaging/diagnostics, dental medicine, isolation, sleep laboratory, sports physiology, foal medicine, and pre-purchase examinations. It operates a 24/7 emergency service and accepts appointments via phone and the PetsXL online platform, supplemented by a Pferdetaxi pickup service that transports horses to the clinic from their home stables.

The clinic's core technology is centered on advanced equine diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques: a standing MRI for examination from the hoof joint to the fetlock/tarsal joint, a standing CT scanner (awarded the Innovationspreis des Oldenburger Münsterlands 2019) that images the head and limbs of sedated horses without general anesthesia, digital radiography, intraoral dental cameras, scintigraphy, and sinuscopy. In collaboration with the Zentrum für Werkstoffe und Technik (ZWT) Diepholz and startup r3volutionD, the clinic also produces custom 3D-printed dental prosthetics using a workflow that integrates digital scanning, CAD design, and additive manufacturing.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional veterinary services priced under the official German GOT fee schedule, with payment due upon pickup or by invoice and accepted in cash, EC card, or credit card. Secondary revenue streams include on-site resale of ESS Supplements (a supplement brand developed by the clinic's veterinarians and approved by the FEI for high-performance sport), manufacturer-independent nutritional counseling, Pferdetaxi horse transport, equipment rental (Verleihservice), continuing-education events (Fortbildungen) for veterinarians, technicians, and horse owners, and on-site veterinary support at equestrian competitions. Customer acquisition is driven by direct booking, the referring-veterinarian network, organic social media and SEO content (including a long-running 'Pferdemedizin von A bis Z' educational blog series), and published customer testimonials, with a geographic reach that extends nationally based on cited 600 km customer travel.
