The AndersenPets – Dr+Vet team enthusiastically participated in the ESVO 2025 congress, one of the most important events in European veterinary ophthalmology, held this month in Ghent.

A meeting point for veterinary ophthalmology

Throughout the event, our booth became a meeting point for veterinarians and ophthalmology specialists from all over Europe. Many professionals came to the event, interested in learning about our nutraceutical solutions for animal eye health, such as Lacrimalis+, Occulus+, Retinae, and Glauco+. Our team enjoyed very enriching discussions about the clinical benefits of nutraceuticals for conditions such as dry eye, cataracts, retinopathies, and glaucoma.

“We were surprised to see the level of knowledge and curiosity of international veterinarians regarding nutraceuticals. There is a growing interest in solutions that complement traditional therapies and improve patients’ quality of life,” commented Manel Bolet, Product Manager at AndersenPets.

Science, learning, and relationships

Beyond the presentations and scientific exchange, the congress was an opportunity to learn from leading European ophthalmologists, attend keynote presentations, and establish new connections with European clinics and distributors interested in incorporating our products. Among the most talked-about talks were those by David Gould, Christine Heinrich, and Simon Petersen-Jones, who provided an up-to-date perspective on the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases in small animals.

Active participation in social events

ESVO is not just about science—it’s also about community—and AndersenPets wanted to be present at the social events and networking events that accompanied the congress.
These informal gatherings allowed us to strengthen ties with colleagues, distributors, and international partners, exchange ideas, and, above all, share our common passion for veterinary ophthalmology.

A very positive outcome

The outcome couldn’t be more encouraging: new collaboration opportunities, real interest in our formulations, and confirmation that AndersenPets is now a recognized brand within the specialized veterinary sector.

“Every conversation, every contact, and every smile at the stand reminds us why we do what we do: bring real value to veterinary practices and improve the eye health of thousands of pets around the world.”

At AndersenPets, we would like to sincerely thank all the professionals who visited us and shared their time with us.

See you at the next edition!
