Overview
GoodVets partners with entrepreneurial veterinarians to operate multi-market veterinary clinics, enabling vets to own clinics while receiving resources and support. Veterinarians join as local hospital owners who get mentorship, career development, competitive compensation, and operations assistance, with the company providing shared resources to deliver high-quality animal care. Unlike traditional practice ownership or corporate chains, GoodVets emphasizes veterinarian ownership within a collaborative platform that backs clinicians through mentorship and infrastructure. The goal is to reimagine the animal care experience, empower veterinarians to become owners, and expand to 55-plus clinics across US markets by the end of 2024.
