Germany's Largest Vet Clinic Expands to Ease Overcrowding and Stress

The Kaiserberg Small Animal Clinic in Duisburg has begun its move to a new location in Neudorf. The current facility, one of Germany's largest veterinary hospitals, has outgrown its space after years of serving around 250 animal patients each day. A groundbreaking ceremony has now marked the start of construction for the expanded clinic. The existing clinic operates with 55 veterinarians and provides 24-hour care every day of the year. Roughly 80 percent of its patients arrive as emergencies or referrals from other local vets. With demand growing, the new site in Neudorf will double in size to about 3,000 square meters.

The relocation to Kommandantenstraße is expected to finish by late 2027 or early 2028. One key change will be the complete separation of cats and dogs across waiting areas, wards, and treatment rooms. This design aims to minimise stress for feline patients and their owners.

A new stress-reduction programme will also be introduced for cats visiting the clinic. The expanded space and specialised measures reflect the hospital's role as a leading veterinary centre in the region. Once completed, the new clinic will offer more room for patients and staff. The separation of cats and dogs, along with dedicated stress-reduction efforts, will alter how animals experience veterinary care. The project marks a significant upgrade for one of Germany's busiest animal hospitals.
