Co-Owner / Partner DVM Opportunity
Lake Country Veterinary Care | Marcellus, New York
Become a Practice Owner
We're seeking an experienced DVM who is ready to take the next step toward practice ownership. Lake Country Veterinary Care is looking for the right veterinarian to step into a leadership and co-partnership role alongside an existing veterinary partner, with the opportunity to pursue meaningful ownership through Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP).
This is an exciting opportunity to help lead a well-established small-animal hospital that has served the Central New York community since 1985. As a Partner DVM, you'll help guide the hospital's clinical direction, support an experienced team, identify opportunities for growth, and contribute to the practice's long-term success.
We're looking for someone who enjoys practicing high-quality medicine but also has an entrepreneurial mindset, takes initiative, and wants to be involved in the decisions that shape a hospital's future.
You won't just practice at Lake Country. You'll help lead it, grow it, and share in its success.

Co-owns and manages veterinary practices.
Veterinary Practice Partners helps veterinarians run animal hospitals by providing an ownership-backed partnership model and handling the business side. It acquires majority stakes (roughly 70%) in practices while doctor-partners keep about 30% ownership, allowing clinicians to focus on patient care. VPP delivers back-office support across finance, marketing, HR, recruiting, and technology to standardize operations and support growth. Its goal is to expand a network of high-quality animal hospitals by enabling veterinary practice ownership through a scalable platform backed by private equity.
