Veterinary Practices Are In High Demand

The veterinary industry has never been stronger. Pet ownership is at record highs, veterinary spending continues to grow, and corporate consolidation is driving premium valuations for well-run practices. Smart money is flowing into veterinary practices with strong client bases and proven profitability.

Record Pet Spending

Americans spent over $147 billion on pets in 2023, with veterinary care representing the largest growth segment. This sustained demand creates stable, recession-resistant revenue streams that buyers value highly.

Premium Valuations

Well-managed veterinary practices are selling for 4-8x EBITDA, with specialty practices and those in desirable markets commanding even higher multiples. Corporate buyers are paying premium prices for quality practices.

Veterinarian Shortage

The ongoing veterinarian shortage means established practices with strong teams and client bases are incredibly valuable. Many veterinarians are ready to transition from ownership to employment with corporate groups.
