The animal clinic is named after the Greek goddess Artemis, who according to old Greek mythology was the protector of the animals. We often see her portraited in literature with a bow and arrow as a symbol of, that she was also the goddess of hunting. She shines in the places where it’s dark and gives us strengths to bring us safely through our fear.
The symbolic behind the goddess represents an approach to animals and humans, which we at Artemis do our best to live up to.
When you arrive at the clinic, then it’s important that you feel safe and content, knowing that we will do our most outstanding to make sure your pet gets the best possible care.
A visit to an animal clinic is often connected with emotions, since the animal is their best friend and a part of the family. We would do our best to make sure you feel safe during the course, so the visit to the clinic is a success for all, whether it’s a health check or a larger operation.
At Artemis it’s always the love for the animals that makes the foundation for our work.

She has a supplementary education from “European school of Veterinarian Postgraduate Studies and has the title “General Practitioner Certificate in Small Animal Surgery”. It means she holds a special knowledge about the surgical patient.
Louise’s surgical competences cover all from soft tissue surgery such as sterilization, castration, removal of tumors to more advanced bone and joint surgery.
She has a special interest in “the limping dog” and pain treatment. The limping dog gets a complete examination, since one problem can have its origin elsewhere.
As well Louise performs gastro- and coloscopy. A procedure that is expected to get implemented within the coming years.
She has a large knowledge with the “brachycephaly” dog breeds’ (pug. French bulldog etc.) exceptionally anatomical challenges. She can perform a long row of surgeries on the breed i.e. shortening of the soft palate and expansion of the nostrils – this surgery improves the breathing for the dog and optimizes the wellbeing.
Louise is a popular speaker, especially when speaking about symptoms of pain in dogs. She is booked through “Hund og træning” (dogtraining.dk), which Artemis is co-working with.
Louise is the proud owner of the Giant Poodle, Runa.
