In the Words of the Founder

Smartemis exists to give veterinarians a way to realize the financial value of their clinics without sacrificing control or the pride of ownership.

We do this because we believe that veterinary clinics are best run by veterinarians working in their own clinics, not by big corporations which cannot possibly know the day-to-day opportunities and challenges in each one of hundreds of clinics.

How did we do this? By creating a model which is based on alignment of interests rather than control. Because Smartemis and veterinarians share the same interests, we are able to focus 100% of our time and resources on supporting veterinarians in the achievement of our shared goals. This is what we call the “spirit of partnership”, and it is the essence of Smartemis.

At Smartemis, veterinarians own and run their own clinics. Smartemis provides financial security and the support that independent veterinarians need to fulfill their clinic’s full potential.

Because when veterinarians win, everybody wins.

Success together – your strong partner for future-oriented veterinary medicine.
