Dignipets Partners to Showcase Joint Venture Opportunity at London Vet Show 2026
LVS 2026
As demand for veterinary hospice and end-of-life care continues to grow, Dignipets Partners is inviting veterinary professionals to explore a different career path at London Vet Show 2026. The team will showcase its director-led Joint Venture Partnership model, designed for experienced vets who want to remain clinically hands-on while building and owning their own local end-of-life care business. Visitors can meet founder Merel Taal and the wider Dignipets team, learn more about the growing need for dedicated end-of-life services, and discuss whether ownership could be the right next step in their professional journey.
The final stage of a pet’s life is one of the most important moments in the relationship between a family, their pet and their veterinary team. Dignipets Partners was created to help experienced veterinary professionals spend more time delivering this kind of care while gaining greater control over their professional future. Founded in 2015 by veterinarian Merel Taal, Dignipets has grown from a single end-of-life care service into a nationwide network supporting families across the UK through hospice care, quality-of-life guidance and peaceful euthanasia at home. Unlike franchise arrangements or employed roles, the Dignipets Partners model enables veterinarians to become directors and shareholders of their own local business while benefiting from established systems, marketing support, technology, operational expertise and a growing national brand. The team will also discuss the future of veterinary hospice care, contextualised end-of-life support and the Dignipets Quality of Life Tracker, a free app designed to help caregivers and veterinary professionals monitor patient wellbeing over time. Visit Dignipets Partners at London Vet Show 2026 to discover how you can help shape the future of end-of-life care in your community.
