Ca' Zampa

Ca' Zampa is an Italian enterprise established in 2018 to develop a national network of veterinary facilities. The company was founded by Giovanna Salza, who currently serves as CEO, and was initially backed by her husband, former minister Corrado Passera. Salza's background in marketing, communications, and management roles at companies like Poste Italiane and Air One informed her vision to consolidate the fragmented Italian veterinary market.

The firm operates on a business model that combines organic growth through new 'greenfield' clinics and strategic acquisitions of existing practices. This dual approach has led to a network of approximately 50 facilities across Italy, with a strong presence in the central and northern regions. A significant milestone was the acquisition of the BluVet Group in early 2025, a move that substantially increased its national footprint and brought the total number of professional staff to over 900. The company is backed by investors including G Square Capital, NB Aurora, and Nextalia SGR.

Ca' Zampa provides a comprehensive suite of services for pets, positioning its clinics as 'one-stop' centers. Its offerings span first-opinion medicine, 24/7 emergency hospitals, advanced surgery, and specialized reference services for other veterinary practices. Beyond core medical care, services include grooming, nutrition, training, and physiotherapy. The company emphasizes preventive medicine to maintain pet health and foster a strong human-animal bond. Recognizing its commitment to social and environmental responsibility, Ca' Zampa has obtained Benefit Corporation status, embedding ESG principles into its growth strategy.
