some of our veterinarians

The first and probably only trainee program for veterinarians in German small animal medicine starts this August at doc4pets.

It is now possible to simultaneously begin specialist veterinary training for small and domestic animals and receive parallel business/legal training in order to later take over one's own practice as managing director and potential partner.

While traineeships have become an established and attractive career path for potential managers in the commercial and engineering sectors, a comparable concept for veterinarians does not yet exist. Specialist veterinarian Doreen Succow explains the concept: "Based on the specialist veterinary training guidelines of the Baden-Württemberg State Veterinary Chamber, we have developed an ATF-accredited training program for our future managers." Co-CEO Sven Jan Arndt, LL.M., adds: "In addition to medical expertise, our trainees also acquire the business management skills necessary to run their own practice. From practice for practice."„

Such a trainee program offers many advantages – in addition to insights into different specialist areas and branches, it provides intensive and structured support from the explicitly dedicated FTÄ Succow, Head of Training/Best Practice. This creates a network of future managing directors within the group, who remain in active professional exchange. Synergies at their best.

Furthermore, a 4-day full-time week, no 24-hour shifts, and bonus programs similar to BPT also allow enough freedom for a good work-life balance.

About Us:

doc4pets GmbH is an owner-managed group of five small animal practices in southwestern Germany. With its innovative and disruptive approach to veterinary succession, it offers veterinarians looking to sell their practices a succession plan with qualified senior veterinarians from within the doc4pets network. These senior veterinarians, in turn, have the opportunity to acquire a stake in the acquired practice and later take over a majority share. The core concept is that of the highly qualified independent practitioner, who receives support from the group in areas such as purchasing, marketing, and accounting. This allows them to focus entirely on their patients.

Due to its continuous growth, doc4pets is always looking for small animal veterinarians who want to develop their skills as experts in a small animal center or as successors to a veterinary practice. Learn more about the concept at: https://www.doc4pets.de/trainee
