GoodVets

GoodVets

Platform enabling veterinarian-owned clinics nationwide

Overview

GoodVets partners with entrepreneurial veterinarians to run state-of-the-art clinics across multiple US markets. Veterinarians join as local hospital owners and receive mentorship, career development, and strong operational support from GoodVets, with shared resources that help clinics scale. The model centers on clinician ownership within a collaborative platform, providing backing and supervision rather than traditional practice ownership or hospital chains. The goal is to reimagine the animal care experience, empower veterinarians to own clinics, and expand to 55+ locations by the end of 2024 to deliver high-quality care for pets.

GoodVets acquires WellHaven Pet Health, expanding network from 75 to 116 veterinary hospitals

GoodVets has acquired WellHaven Pet Health, a network of over 40 veterinary hospitals across seven US states. The deal expands GoodVets' hospital count from 75 to 116, strengthening its presence in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. Founded in 2016, GoodVets partners with entrepreneurial veterinarians to develop hospitals in metropolitan markets, providing centralised support whilst maintaining local clinical leadership. WellHaven's hospital teams will retain their operations with additional resources from GoodVets, eventually transitioning to the GoodVets brand. The acquisition aligns with GoodVets' relationship-focused care model, which emphasises strong connections between veterinary teams and pet owners. WellHaven CEO Justin Scambray said the merger will provide hospital teams with broader resources whilst preserving established community relationships.
