Since the merger of the UK-based IVC and the Northern European Evidensia Group in 2017, IVC Evidensia has become the largest veterinary group in Europe. Since 2018, IVC Evidensia has also been active in Belgium.
At IVC Evidensia Belgium, we strive to see healthy and happy pets and pet owners. Our mission is to deliver high-quality veterinary care and, when necessary, provide a dignified farewell. We set high standards through collaboration, offering everything from primary and preventive care to the most advanced specialist treatments.
This is not achieved through centralization: IVC Evidensia believes in local entrepreneurship at the practice, regional, and national levels. Veterinary medicine is evolving faster than ever, and IVC Evidensia plays an active role in this development by supporting education and scientific research.
Today, IVC Evidensia Belgium employs more than 570 colleagues across over 57 veterinary practices, animal hospitals, and pet crematoria throughout Flanders and Wallonia. As part of a large international network, we can rely on extensive expertise both within Belgium and abroad.
