Overview
Destination Pet consolidates independent veterinary hospitals and pet care facilities into a nationwide network that offers integrated pet care under one brand. It grows by acquiring facilities to create co-located services, including veterinary care, boarding, daycare, grooming, and retail, with revenue from service fees and product sales. Unlike standalone clinics, it combines veterinary medicine with ancillary services across many locations to provide convenient, standardized care. Its goal is to become a leading national provider of integrated pet care through acquisitions and a coordinated full-spectrum offering.
