History

Tierärztliche Praxis Kleintiere is a German veterinary medical journal that has been published for decades as part of the Tierärztliche Praxis family. The journal was originally published by Schattauer Verlag, a Stuttgart-based medical and scientific publisher. Following Schattauer's decision to focus on human medicine, its veterinary journal portfolio, including Tierärztliche Praxis, was acquired by Georg Thieme Verlag. The journal continues to be published under the Thieme imprint. The journal is the sister publication of Tierärztliche Praxis Großtiere, which covers large animals and livestock. Together they serve the German-speaking veterinary community. The Kleintiere edition focuses on small animals (dogs, cats) and companion animals (including birds and exotic pets), reflecting the growing importance of companion animal medicine in veterinary practice. Over the years, the journal has established itself as an official organ of several specialist groups within the Deutsche Veterinärmedizinische Gesellschaft (DVG), including Internal Medicine and Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics, Diseases of Small Ruminants, Poultry, Pathology, and Swine Diseases. It is also the official organ of the German-speaking group of the European Association of Avian Veterinarians. The journal publishes articles in both German and English, adapting to the increasing internationalization of veterinary research. Each issue includes an ATF-recognized continuing education article, supporting the professional development of practicing veterinarians. The journal reports a print run of 2,693 copies and a distributed circulation of 2,001 copies, with an impact factor of 0.368.
