Zoetis is delighted to be partnering with Vet Space Ireland on the launch of their new platform! This partnership is a great fit for both organisations as we have many overlapping objectives which ultimately begin with advancing support for the veterinary community.
The Zoetis name comes from “Zoe”, the Greek word for life. The use of science to sustain life is at the foundation of everything we do. How can science create longer more fulfilling lives for pets? Better life-saving treatments for veterinarians to use? More sustainable livelihoods for livestock producers, with safer food for the people they serve?
Zoetis discovers, develops, manufactures and commercialises vaccines, medicines, diagnostics and other technologies for companion animals and livestock.
We know animal health is essential to public health and people’s well-being. We are driven by a singular purpose: to nurture our world and humankind by advancing care for animals.
Our vision is to be the most trusted and valued animal health company, shaping the future of animal care through our innovation, customer obsession and purpose-driven colleagues. We have a team of colleagues on the ground across the Island of Ireland available to assist you. Whether you have a product request or a technical query on medicines or diagnostic solutions we are here to help.
Premier Skills Institute is a leading provider of professional development and lifelong learning for veterinary professionals. Formerly known as Duggan Veterinary CPD Education, the institute now operates as an independent company under the Duggan Veterinary Group. This evolution reflects our ambition to expand our educational reach, strengthen our training capabilities, and create a world-class centre of excellence for veterinary skills development.
As part of a group that has supported the veterinary sector for over four decades, Premier Skills Institute combines deep industry expertise with a forward-thinking, innovative approach to training. Our purpose is simple: to empower veterinary professionals with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills they need to deliver exceptional animal care.
The institute’s origins lie in Duggan Veterinary Supplies’ longstanding commitment to supporting the profession beyond products and logistics. Recognising the growing need for high-quality, accessible, and practice-ready training, the CPD division was created to provide education that aligned with real-world veterinary challenges.
Over the years, the programme expanded from in-person workshops to hybrid learning, hands-on wet labs, and specialised training pathways. Built on trusted relationships with expert educators, universities, and industry partners, our foundation has always been rooted in:
This commitment remains central to Premier Skills Institute today.

Roberts Advisory is excited to be partnering with Vet Space Ireland. Similar to Michelle and the Vet Space Ireland team, we believe that veterinary professionals deserve the very best support – at every stage of their career and their business journey.
Roberts Advisory helps Irish business owners prepare, plan and execute the sale of their business. Peter and James Roberts bring together decades of experience in advising businesses on key milestone events, focusing specifically on the requirements of owner-managers.
For many practice owners, selling their clinic is the most significant financial decision they will ever make – and often one they have never navigated before. We work closely with owners to understand their personal goals, identify the right timing, and where relevant, spot opportunities to strengthen the business ahead of a sale. When the time is right, we drive the process from start to finish – from understanding what their practice is worth, to finding the right buyer, to closing the deal – ensuring the best outcome for them, their clinic, and their team.
We follow the Irish veterinary sector closely and the consolidation trends currently shaping it. We know who the active buyers are, what they look for in a practice, and how to run a sale process that attracts serious interest.
If you are an owner thinking about the future of your clinic – or if someone in your network is – we would be delighted to have a confidential, no-obligation conversation. Get in touch at
