Introducing QualiCura 2.0
AniCura’s quality program, QualiCura, was established in 2015 and updated in 2021 to consist of 14 instead of 9 focus areas with both medical and organizational quality standards. The adjustments align well with Mars Veterinary Health and the upgraded program was rolled out in AniCura Netherlands in 2021.
In AniCura Germany, a digital document management system was introduced to help the clinics work with AniCura best practice standards and national regulations.
Over the past few decades veterinary care has evolved significantly with more advanced diagnostics and treatment procedures. In parallel the pet population has increased and with that the expectations of pet owners.
Together with AniCura’s preferred diagnostic supplier, AniCura performed analyses of pre-anesthetic testing and invested in in-house laboratory equipment. These initiatives can help improve patient safety.
Habits and Practices Investigated: Anesthesia and Analgesia
Risks Associated with anesthesia and analgesia are well-recognized and reported in the AniCura Patient Safety Improvement System (APSIS). AniCura Sweden therefore hired a diplomate in Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia, Mathieu Raillard, to map these procedures.

Nutrition Engagement - through measuring of body condition score
As veterinary care becomes more specialized and complex, it is increasingly difficult to keep track of the full cycle of care. Therefore, preventive care is an integral part of AniCura’s strategy, both to prevent illness in the first place and also to prevent relapse after treatment.
AniCura Sweden Supports Underprivileged Pet Owners’ Pets
Underprivileged people, such as the homeless, cannot always prioritize veterinary care for their pets. Faktumdagen* (“Faktum day”) is a yearly event sponsored by AniCura Västra Djursjukhuset, which offers free care and treatment for these pets.
