What’s the story behind Vetopia? Read below to hear from our CEO, Peter Thomsen, as he shares just how far we’ve come…
Meet Peter Thomsen, CEO of Vetopia🐾 Here, he discusses Vetopia's strong development, its unique approach to supporting vets and the future of the veterinary industry. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗮? After spending my first 10,000 hours in the veterinary industry, I teamed up with Axcel in 2021 to create something different. We wanted to build a new kind of group, centred around the belief that a successful vet group should care for its people just as much as it cares for pets. In a very fragmented market, our goal was to unite clinics under this core principle. We began by bringing together Danish VetGruppen and Norwegian EMPET, and from there, Vetopia has grown steadily, expanding beyond the Nordics into the DACH region. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀? Vetopia was built with a clear purpose to support vets and nurses so they can focus fully on their passion – caring for pets. We give each clinic the freedom to make the best decisions for pets and owners without interference in medical choices. Instead, we invest in continuous learning and provide valuable group support. By giving clinic owners the chance to invest in Vetopia, we foster a spirit of ownership and community that’s hard to find elsewhere. 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘆 - 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁? Every time a clinic owner trusts us with his or her life's work, it’s a milestone. The first clinics in each country stand out to me – those owners took a leap of faith when Vetopia had no presence in their countries. Today, I’m proud we’ve earned that trust and built a leading group across seven countries, all while staying true to the promises we made. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? I grew up with dogs, and today we have two dogs, two cats, and the occasional dwarf hamster – we’ve also had a few horses. Like any pet owner, I can tell you that pets really are family. Having pets of my own helps me put myself in our customers' shoes and understand how important it is to have a highly qualified vet nearby, someone you trust and count on. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱? The veterinary field is always evolving – with new medical technologies, growing specialisation and a greater focus on work-life balance for vets. At Vetopia, we stay ahead by investing in a fulfilling work environment, medical excellence and continuous learning through our own training network. Our top priority is ensuring that everyone in our clinics thrives and is fully equipped to meet the evolving needs of pet owners. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁? We’ll keep building the best home for veterinary professionals! As we continue to expand, we’ll do so thoughtfully – balancing growth with our commitment to creating a supportive work environment.
