CVS acquires first two acquisitions in the Netherlands

CVS has announced the acquisition of two practices in The Netherlands, representing its first expansion into the country.

The Kliniek voor Gezelschaps Dieren, a three-site small animal practice based in the central Netherlands, will be joining the CVS network, as well as a single-site small animal practice called Dierenziekenhuis Drachten in the north of the country.

Both practices cited the business support and staff development opportunities offered by CVS as key reasons for joining, as well as the clinical freedom and practice autonomy member practices receive.

Simon Innes, chief executive officer at CVS, said: "We see many parallels between small animal practice in the Netherlands and the UK and have been talking to practices in the country about the benefits of joining us for some time."

This follows the launch of CVS' online pharmacy business Animed Direct in France earlier this year and continues the company's wider strategy of European expansion. Further acquisitions are expected in Europe during 2017, in addition to continued growth in the UK.
