Who or what is behind filu?
filu is a modern network of veterinary practices with currently 10+ locations across Germany and now more than 150 team members (as of 2026). Founded in 2022, we combine veterinary excellence with modern ways of working. With smart processes, digital solutions and a whole lot of heart, we make everyday practice life better – for our veterinary team as well as for our animal patients and their owners. This is our vision and mission for a working environment that truly fits. Because we believe that only happy vets and veterinary nurses can deliver outstanding care for animals over the long term.
Our guiding principles are shaped by appreciation, co-determination, modern work design and a genuine team culture. filu is no ordinary vet-med company – we’re rethinking the veterinary practice!
Was filu founded by veterinarians?
Yes. Unlike some other practice networks, filu was co-founded by veterinarian and co-founder Dr. Lena Naderer. Together with Christian Köhler and Justus Buchen – both with a business background – she brought filu to life in 2022. The founding team combines veterinary expertise with entrepreneurial know-how.
Veterinary expertise shapes more than just filu’s founding story: our medical quality is owned by a vet-led Vet Excellence Team, and in recruiting and employee retention, too, we rely on veterinarians – because we know what really matters in this field.
What career opportunities are there at filu
At filu, there are positions in two areas:
Care teams: Whether as a general or lead veterinarian, Medical Director, veterinary nurse, coordinating veterinary nurse, a front-desk star in our service team or an organisational talent in practice management – at filu there are many ways to become part of our practice teams.
Central office team: Alongside our practice teams, there are behind-the-scenes roles in areas such as HR, marketing, IT and operations, as well as hybrid roles that combine practice and office responsibilities. We look forward to welcoming more passionate filuneers who are keen to reshape veterinary medicine!
