Case: Obtained a veterinary license for a doctor from the Khmelnytskyi region after a refusal in “Diia”
Legalization of activities in the field of veterinary medicine is a strict and regulated process that does not tolerate a superficial approach. This issue became particularly acute after the cancellation of veterinary declarations, when conducting a private practice without an official permit turned into a direct threat to the business and a source of serious fines.
A veterinary doctor from the Khmelnytskyi region contacted the Prikhodko & Partners law firm. In 2006, he received higher education in the specialty “Veterinary Medicine” and successfully provided services for many years. Complying with the legal requirements for the need to improve qualifications every 5 years, he successfully completed the appropriate courses in May 2025. In 2023, he started an independent veterinary practice, but due to changes in industry regulation and the cancellation of declarations, there was an urgent need to obtain a full-fledged veterinary practice license.
Having planned an independent solution to the problem, the client tried to submit a package of documents through the state portal “Diia”. The result was a refusal from the regulator.
What difficulties did the client face?
- Technical and legal errors during independent submission: the interface of state systems and strict requirements for the execution of information often lead to refusals due to the slightest inaccuracies.
- Risks after the cancellation of declarations: it became impossible to work without a license under the updated legislation, which threatened to halt the private practice.
- Loss of time and money: independent attempts by “trial and error” dragged out the legalization process for months.
What did the lawyers of Prikhodko & Partners do?
- Expert audit of the situation: we conducted a detailed analysis of the client’s document package, including the 2006 diploma, certificates of completion of advanced training courses in May 2025, and the material and technical base.
- Correction of errors: we identified the reasons why the state bodies issued a refusal when submitting through “Diia” and eliminated all legal inaccuracies.
- Formation of a flawless package: a new application was prepared, and the information was drawn up in accordance with the current licensing requirements of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
- Turnkey legal support: full control of the document review process was provided until the successful issuance of a positive order.
Result
Thanks to the professional intervention of specialized lawyers, the doctor from the Khmelnytskyi region was guaranteed to obtain a license to conduct veterinary practice.
Now his private practice is fully legalized. The client is protected from penalties and risks of business suspension, having the legal right to provide veterinary services and carry out professional activities.
