American Veterinary Group

Manages veterinary hospitals and urgent-care clinics

Overview

American Veterinary Group builds and runs a nationwide network of veterinary hospitals and urgent care clinics, including many UrgentVet locations that treat non-emergency pet issues after hours and on weekends. The company acquires practices and then provides operational support, medical leadership, and shared resources, so veterinarians can focus on patient care while the group handles the business side. It uses a partnership and acquisition model to help practice owners at different stages—growth, transition, or retirement—with flexible options. Its approach combines general veterinary services with urgent-care access to broaden pet-care availability. The goal is to grow a scalable network that delivers convenient, quality veterinary care and supports veterinarians through centralized expertise and resources.
