Having a pet is not cheap, it should have food, grooming products, toys and other necessities. In addition to that, it is good to have insurance in case the animal gets sick or has an accident. But even if you have insurance, your visit to the vet can be an expensive story. In recent times, more and more pet owners have testified about increased veterinary costs around the country.
Swedish veterinary care is a billion-dollar industry led by the giants Evidensia and Anicura. The company Anicura Sweden AB had a turnover of 1.4 billion in 2023.
