Care. Precision. Professionalism. From the very first step. 🧼

Before any treatment, procedure or diagnostic exam begins, our team takes great care in preparing both the horse and the environment.

🧤 Whether it’s carefully cleaning and disinfecting a limb before an ultrasound or prepping for surgery, every move follows clear medical protocols and is carried out by trained, experienced professionals.

At Altano, only qualified staff work directly with our equine patients. This ensures not only safety and hygiene, but also that each horse is handled calmly, competently and with respect. Good veterinary care starts long before the actual procedure. It starts with trust, routine, and a steady hand. 🙏

Expert care – right down to the last detail. 🧲🐴

In many of our Altano clinics, a skilled and experienced farrier is part of the on-site team, working hand in hand with our vets to provide the best possible support for your horse.

Whether it’s therapeutic shoeing, corrective trimming or complex orthopedic cases: We believe that hoof care is not just a craft; it’s an essential part of veterinary medicine.

🔗 Diagnosis and treatment planning take place together – in close coordination between farrier and vet.

💡 This means fewer appointments, faster solutions and a consistent approach tailored to your horse’s individual needs.

When expertises come together, your horse benefits the most.

Clean skin saves lives 🐴

Before surgery, thorough disinfection is key - especially in equine medicine.

Unlike in human patients, where skin is typically clean and shaved, a horse’s coat naturally harbors dust, bacteria, and oils. That’s why prepping the surgical site takes more time, more care, and multiple steps:

🧼 First, the area is clipped to remove all hair.
🧼 Then, it’s scrubbed repeatedly with antiseptic solutions to remove dirt and microorganisms.
🧼 Finally, a sterile drape is applied to protect the clean zone throughout the procedure.

Every step matters. Infection prevention doesn’t start in the OR; it starts long before the first incision.

Peace of mind starts at the front door. 🙏

Veterinary medicine is about trust. And trust begins with how you’re welcomed.

At every Altano clinic, we make it a priority to create an atmosphere where horse owners feel seen, supported – and comfortable.

☕ Whether it’s a fresh cup of coffee, a quiet place to wait, or a friendly face at the reception: Our entrance areas are designed to feel less like a hospital – and more like a place where you and your horse are truly cared for.

Because we know: When your horse is being treated, you’re going through a lot, too. And we want you to feel that you’re not alone.

Shared knowledge. Stronger care. 💡

Within the Altano community, no vet is ever alone with a complex case.

Thanks to our international community of specialists, veterinarians across our clinics and practices can quickly exchange ideas, insights, and treatment experiences - especially when it comes to rare or challenging cases.

This collaborative approach allows us to build on proven expertise from around the world, so your horse receives the best possible care, even in exceptional situations. 🌍

We believe: knowledge grows when it’s shared.

It’s not about me. It’s about we. 🙏

One of the strongest messages from this year’s Altano International Management Meeting came from our CEO, Dr. .

His call to action – it’s time to take cooperation to the next level! 🌍

To unlock the full potential of Altano we need collaboration not isolation: we are colleagues not competitors.

We are one united team, with one shared mission: delivering the best care for horses and their owners.
When we work as one, we can truly transform the future of equine medicine.

What happens when you arrive at the clinic? 🐴📍

Here’s what to expect on the day of admission:

1️⃣ Check-in at reception
Bring your horse’s passport and any required documents. If a treatment agreement was sent to you in advance, sending it back by email can help speed up the process.

2️⃣ Initial consultation
You’ll meet with the clinic team to go over your horse’s medical history, current symptoms, and any specific needs.

3️⃣ Stable and examination
Your horse will be brought to its stable, settled in, and the first examination will begin, so treatment can get underway quickly and calmly.

Our goal is to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible, for both horse and owner.

One group. Many strengths. 🌍🐴

What makes Altano unique? Our structure is built on collaboration, without compromising the independence of our clinics and practices.

🇪🇺 With locations across 11 countries, each national group is supported by a dedicated Country Management Team. Regular meetings within these teams ensure a strong local foundation and continuous knowledge exchange.

🌐 To connect ideas across borders, the Country Leads meet regularly in International Management Meetings.

💡 When it comes to expertise, our veterinarians and specialists form cross-clinic Task Forces - working together on key topics and sharing results through the Altano Academy.

🎓 The Altano Academy is the heart of our group. It’s where continuing education happens, knowledge is shared, and new standards are set. For everyone in the team.

Great veterinary care? It’s a team effort.

Smiles, stories, and shared knowledge 💬

At the Altano International Management Meeting 2025, people from across the globe came together to learn from one another and grow together.

From Europe to Australia, the US to New Zealand, every voice added value. Every conversation sparked ideas. The diversity of our backgrounds made the exchange even richer. 🌎

Everyone brought their own perspective—and left with new insights. That’s the power of a strong, international community: we don’t just work side by side. We lift each other up.

Letting horses be horses — even during & after treatment 🌿

Many Altano clinics offer outdoor paddocks for patients who are ready to spend some time outside. This is a valuable part of the recovery process.

Fresh air, space to move, and natural light help reduce stress, support circulation, and promote healing, especially in longer stays.

Veterinary care doesn’t end in the treatment room. It continues in every detail of how we look after our patients.

A deeper look: how CT imaging improves equine diagnostics 🔍

Modern computed tomography (CT) plays a crucial role in identifying injuries and internal changes that are hard to detect with conventional imaging.

At many Altano clinics, CT technology allows our teams to evaluate bones, joints, and soft tissues in detail, helping us make faster, more accurate diagnoses and define the best treatment path.

We’re also proud to work with the latest generation of CT systems in several clinics, featuring a larger gantry that enables even more imaging to be performed on standing horses. This reduces the need for full anesthesia and makes diagnostics safer and more efficient.

Advanced imaging for better-informed decisions. Because every detail matters.
