CENTREDMVET

What CENTREDMVET does

CENTREDMVET, operating under legal entity GROUPE DMV, is a 100% Quebec-owned veterinary emergency and specialty care network founded in 1993 with five physical locations: St-Hubert, Blainville, Montreal (Lachine), Quebec City (L'Ancienne-Lorette), and Ottawa (OAESH). Four locations provide 24/7 walk-in emergency services without appointment; the Quebec City site operates 8 a.m. to midnight. The network delivers 20+ specialty disciplines including surgery and orthopedics (TPLO, total hip replacement), neurosurgery, oncology, cardiology, internal medicine, dermatology, interventional radiology, regenerative medicine (stem cell, PRP), animal physiotherapy and rehabilitation, reproduction services, dentistry, anesthesiology, biomedical analysis, blood bank, intensive care with mechanical ventilation and AIRVO high-flow oxygen, and exotic/zoological animal medicine. Diagnostic technology includes a 128-slice CT scanner, a Philips 1.5T MRI, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, and a CNSC-licensed radioactive iodine (I-131) treatment facility for feline hyperthyroidism at St-Hubert, Montreal, and Ottawa.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional service fees across emergency consultations, specialty appointments, surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, radioactive iodine treatment, reproduction services, and rehabilitation/physiotherapy, billed on a pay-as-you-go basis with estimates provided after initial assessment. The go-to-market model is hybrid: walk-in emergency traffic (B2C pet owners), appointment-based specialty consultations (B2C), and a referral channel from general veterinary practitioners across Quebec and Ontario (B2B), supplemented by a ConnectDMVET patient portal, toll-free contact center, telemedicine services for primary-line clinics, and a bilingual (French/English) website with a scientific library. The organization is veterinarian-led, privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, and supports externships, multi-track internships, and surgery/neurology residency programs as a talent pipeline. Community engagement includes partnership with Fondation hoPi and Vétérinaires d'ici certification.
