Welcome
IntrinsiaVet
IntrinsiaVet is an award-winning veterinary management consultancy based near London, UK. We work internationally across organisations up and down the veterinary and Animal Health supply chains.
Our organisation revolves around strategy, leadership, and culture. We believe that they are intrinsically linked, and an organisation cannot reach its potential unless these factors play a part in all its operations and decisions.
Our focus is entirely on the veterinary and animal health industry and developing the organisations within it. Our vision is to be the go-to management consultancy firm for the veterinary and animal health industry globally, by delivering outstanding, collaborative projects that positively impact the industry worldwide.
Our goal in every project we undertake is to make a tangible, positive difference to the people in the organisations we work with. We know that this industry is both rewarding and challenging in equal measure – we seek to tip the scales towards satisfaction and fulfilment by improving organisations, and in turn, improving the daily lives of veterinary and animal health professionals.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work internationally?
Yes. As a global organisation we always adopt a client-centric approach and tailor our strategies to your own distinctive cultural landscape.
What size organisations do you work with?
We work with a variety of different sized businesses. Our offerings range from working with solo entrepreneurs, or individuals within teams, to working with teams themselves and organisation-wide strategic projects. However, much of what we do requires an organisation (or potential start-up organisation) to be of sufficient size to fully utilise our analytical and diagnostic tools and expertise.
Do you work with non-veterinary organisations?
Yes. We work with a variety of different businesses across the veterinary and animal health space. From veterinary practices and corporates to animal health pharmaceutical companies and everything in between; if you’re an organisation in or looking to enter the veterinary or animal health industry, we can help.
How much do you charge?
Our fees will always vary with the type and complexity of a project; however, we always provide a full proposal in writing with a breakdown of costs prior to starting any project. You might find the examples helpful in our insight on “how much does a veterinary business consultant cost?”
Do you consult in-person or virtually?
Both. We work within the UK and internationally, therefore we are able to provide our services via both formats, in line with your preference. However, with certain projects there are aspects that will need to be conducted in person and therefore travel expenses will be included in the proposal.
Do you bring in more consultants for larger projects?
Yes. We have a network of people we trust to deliver parts of particular projects as and when needed. However, we will always be your main point of contact and, as any work we outsource remains under our banner, we ensure it meets our standards.
How quickly can you start working on our project?
This will depend on the type and number of projects we are currently delivering. However, we will always endeavour to be able to work within your time frames where we can.
Will our work be confidential?
Yes. All our projects start with an NDA in order to have open and honest conversations and ensure that all proprietary information is kept strictly private and confidential.
