Cats and dogs are living longer and healthier than ever before. One beneficial factor that may be contributing to this is the constantly evolving range of high-quality veterinary care services available for pets across Europe. However, as pets live longer, they are at higher risk of developing age-related health issues and geriatric problems. The veterinary profession is there to help and support your pet through their senior years.

Antibiotics can save your pet’s life, but only if we let them stay powerful. Today AniCura joins the “World AMR Awareness Week” Global Campaign to raise awareness and encourage action to tackle the emergence and spread of drug-resistant bacteria in the veterinary care industry.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many European countries experienced a pet adoption surge, including many new first-time pet owners buying their first puppy or kitten – and discovering a gap in their pet care knowledge as a result. AniCura will launch campaigns to assist in the very important first steps one needs to take as a first-time pet owner.

Since 2015, AniCura has issued an annual quality report covering the developments within quality and patient safety as well as a reduction of antibiotic use among AniCura’s clinics. The report for 2020 describes the developments during COVID-19 and best practices in veterinary care, people and the benefits of strong company values.

By gathering leading veterinary competence, and focusing on continuous development of quality and service, AniCura’s vision is to shape the future of veterinary care. Hence, The AniCura Research Fund plays a vital role in advance clinical research in the industry. Since 2015, over 60 clinical research projects have been granted funding. As of 2019, AniCura's Research Fund has doubled in size, by support of Mars Veterinary Health.

For the second year in a row, AniCura’s animal hospitals around Sweden have nominated hero dogs to become Blood Donor Dog of the Year 2021. During the International Blood Donor Day, the competition's initiator, AniCura, revealed that this year's winner is eight-year-old German Shepherd named Cobra. During her seven active years as a blood donor, Cobra has helped to save the lives of her four-legged friends 19 times.

Over the last decade there has been a growing appreciation for companion animals as well as an increased demand for high quality veterinary care in the society. AniCura has played an essential part in this positive outcome and is today established as a European family of well-known and carefully selected animal hospitals and clinics specialized in veterinary care.

AniCura is one of Europe’s leading providers of high-quality veterinary care for companion animals. Over the years, AniCura has focused on continuous growth and advancement in veterinary care as well as sharing resources to create opportunities for better veterinary care.
