Corporate Veterinary Clinics (corporate veterinary hospitals)

There has been an increasing rise in corporate veterinary clinics in recent times.  Private equity and strategic corporate buyers have increasingly consolidated the ownership of veterinary hospitals in the last 20 years, resulting in large national and international chains. Veterinary hospital consolidation is reshaping the practice of veterinary medicine, modifying practice models, and influencing cost of veterinary care.

Veterinary hospital consolidators include private equity groups (e.g., Oak Hill Capital, Waud Capital Partners, JAB Holdings, Shore Capital), corporations (MARS Inc.) and and private investors.
