TYL Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shohei Kaneo), a rapidly growing venture company whose mission is to promote the family-like treatment of pets and contribute to the creation of a world where pets are naturally considered "family," is pleased to announce the opening of "Nagi Animal Hospital" (Location: Unimo Chiharadai 1F, 3-4 Chiharadai-nishi, Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture) as a new initiative of its Anihoc Animal Hospital Group. This will be the first step in a new model where animal hospitals operated independently by veterinarians join the group, in addition to the existing directly managed operations.
### Background of the Initiative - Structural Changes and Challenges in the Veterinary Hospital Industry
In the veterinary hospital industry, the number of bankruptcies has reached a new high for two consecutive years recently, and management is becoming increasingly difficult due to factors such as staffing shortages and rising operating costs. On the other hand, some veterinarians with clinical experience are eager to open their own practices, but many hesitate to take the plunge due to the market opportunities mentioned above, as well as anxieties about their capabilities in management, recruitment, and fundraising.
TYL has, until now, addressed these industry challenges through supporting animal hospitals with recruitment, M&A, and patient acquisition, as well as through operating its own hospitals.
### Anihoc Animal Hospital Group's History
Anihoc Animal Hospital Group is TYL's self-operated animal hospital group, with 6 clinics and house-call services in the Tokyo and Kanagawa areas. We have built a management system that balances clinical practice and business, prioritizing employees feeling that they "want to work and continue working at this animal hospital" with enthusiasm and peace of mind. As a result, we aim to provide medical care that pet owners feel they "want to visit and continue visiting."
### Significance of the Opening
The opening of "Nagi Animal Hospital" marks a new development for the Anihoc Animal Hospital Group. We have introduced a "partnership model" where the opening veterinarian operates independently while collaborating as part of the group. Under this model, it is possible to open and operate a hospital while respecting the director's policies and utilizing the foundation cultivated by the group.
Specifically, it has the following characteristics:
- A strong start, leveraging the Anihoc Animal Hospital Group's brand and recognition.
- Provision of know-how and operational support regarding management, recruitment, and organizational development.
- Efficiency and cost reduction in equipment, procurement, etc., through group collaboration.
By combining these, we aim to achieve both independence and stability, lower the hurdles for opening a practice, and establish a highly successful opening model. We position the opening of "Nagi Animal Hospital" as the first step towards networking the Anihoc Animal Hospital Group and plan to expand similar initiatives in the future.
### About Nagi Animal Hospital
"Nagi Animal Hospital" aims to be a community-based primary care facility that "protects the smiles of families and delivers peace of mind." We address the challenges on-site where continuous efforts for improvement and innovation tend to halt due to the busy daily診療. We emphasize creating an environment where each staff member can think proactively and continue to grow. Through optimizing systems and roles, and investing in human resources, we aim to balance the quality of medical care and the sustainability of the organization.
Furthermore, as medical technology and equipment become standardized, differentiation based solely on medical content becomes difficult, leading to a situation where pet owners "don't know which hospital to choose."
