Veterinary Practice Partners helps veterinarians own and run animal hospitals by taking a majority stake (about 70%) and allowing doctor-partners to retain roughly 30% ownership, preserving clinical autonomy while VPP handles the business side. The company provides back-office support across finance, marketing, human resources, recruiting, and technology to standardize operations and systems. It grows through acquisitions and de novo development, expanding its network with private-equity backing and partnerships across many states. Its goal is to enable veterinarians to become practice owners with solid support, expanding high-quality animal hospitals and improving veterinary business efficiency.

What believers are saying

What makes Veterinary Practice Partners unique
- VPP’s 2026 platform spans 35 states, 190+ practices, and 700+ doctors.
