Lingehoeve Diergeneeskunde B.V.

What Lingehoeve Diergeneeskunde B.V. does

Lingehoeve Diergeneeskunde B.V. is a privately held Dutch veterinary clinic group headquartered at Veldstraat 3a, Lienden, in the Betuwe region of Gelderland. The practice operates as a multi-species animal hospital, delivering both first-line (primary) and second-line (specialized referral) veterinary care across three segments: companion animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets), horses, and farm livestock. Service delivery is anchored by the Lienden main hospital, which functions as a complete animal hospital with overnight monitoring, and is supported by branch locations in Achterberg, Tiel, Zetten, Heteren, Puiflijk, Goes, and Rheden, plus affiliated Lingehoeve sub-brands in Midden-Zeeland, Oost-Nederland, Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland, and Dier-N-artsen Diergeneeskunde in Oosteind.

The clinical offering spans routine consultations, vaccinations, microchipping, dentistry, reproduction services, and end-of-life services including euthanasia coordinated with cremation partner Dierencrematorium de Grebbehof. Advanced modalities at Lienden include CT, MRI, scintigraphy (nuclear diagnostics), dental radiography, endoscopy (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, rhinoscopy), arthroscopy, two-port laparoscopy, high-power therapeutic laser, and hydrotherapy via an aquatrainer. A 24/7 emergency service staffed by the practice's own veterinarians is reachable via a dedicated phone line, and appointments can be booked online through the PersonalCard system.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and service-based, generating revenue from professional consultations, procedures, and diagnostics, supplemented by recurring monthly subscription revenue from the VetPlan and VetPlan Plus preventive-care bundles (paid via automated direct debit). Ancillary revenue includes the sale of Royal Canin prescription and maintenance diets, which are distributed exclusively through veterinary clinics. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), a knowledge-article content library, community events such as puppy parties and horse first-aid evenings, and Trustindex-displayed Google reviews (1,112 reviews). Referral partnerships with OHRA pet insurance, Royal Canin, PetRadar, and LICG extend the service envelope without direct revenue capture. The company operates as a B.V. (Dutch private limited company) with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or executive team in the source data.
