Veterinary services provider Linnaeus has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Pets at Home's Specialist Division.
The announcement sees Pets at Home's entire portfolio of five referral practices become part of the Linnaeus family – part of Mars Veterinary Health Group - including around 680 staff.
The Specialist Division includes Anderson Moores near Winchester, Dick White Referrals near Cambridge, North West Veterinary Referrals and Eye Vet, both in Runcorn and Veterinary Specialists Scotland in Livingston.
All services will retain their existing branding and initially continue with business as usual, with all staff now transferring to Linnaeus.
Bart Johnson, CEO of Linnaeus, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Specialist Division into the Linnaeus family. We look forward to meeting our new teams and integrating them with our own services, seeking to retain the best of what’s currently on offer and bringing them together with our own to make a better world for pets.”
Eligible members of BEVA will be able to vote for their Council team until Monday, 17 August 2026. Members will have received an election email on 17 July.
