VetAtHome and ESS Group launch Vet at ESS – veterinary care becomes a natural part of the hotel stay
Traveling with a dog should feel as safe as being at home. Now VetAtHome, together with ESS Group, is taking a groundbreaking step to make this possible. Through the initiative Know that ESS veterinary care is integrated as a natural part of the hotel experience – for the first time on this scale in the Nordics.
”"Our vision has always been to make veterinary care more accessible and less stressful – for both animals and pet owners. Through the collaboration with ESS Group, we can now take this a step further and meet our patients where they are, even when they are traveling," says Robert Hållstrand.
With Vet at ESS, hotel guests have access to licensed veterinarians directly through the hotel. The service covers everything from preventive care to emergency interventions and can be booked easily before the stay or on site.
”"This is a natural step in our development of modern veterinary care. We see a clear demand from pet owners who want to be able to travel without compromising on safety or access to care. Together with ESS, we are creating a completely new standard for how veterinary medicine can be integrated into people's everyday lives," continues Robert Hållstrand.
A new level of accessibility in veterinary care
The initiative meets a growing need among today's pet owners - where the dog is not just a companion, but an obvious part of life, even during trips, conferences and hotel stays.
Through Vet at ESS we offer:
- Veterinary visit directly at the hotel
- Health checks and vaccinations
- Issuance of EU passports and travel documents
- Nail clipping and simple treatments
- Advice and follow-up
- Quick help in emergency situations
All services are performed by licensed veterinarians with a focus on calm, safe and personalized care – in an environment where the animal already feels comfortable.
Veterinary care where it is needed – when it is needed
Since its inception, VetAtHome has had the goal of moving veterinary care closer to animals. The collaboration with ESS Group is another step in that direction.
By being on site in a hotel environment, care can be provided:
- Without the stress of clinic visits
- In a familiar and safe environment
- With high availability and flexibility
”"We believe in a future where veterinary care is not something you have to plan your life around - but something that is available where life actually happens. Know that ESS is a clear example of just that," says Robert Hållstrand.
Launch in selected destinations
Know that ESS will initially be launched in October 2025 at several of ESS Group's destinations, with the ambition to gradually expand to more hotels in the Nordic region.
