Who Owns Your Vet? is a consumer-education resource about veterinary ownership transparency.

Purpose of this site

This site is intended to help pet owners ask better questions about veterinary ownership, business structure, and transparency before choosing a veterinary hospital.

Veterinary hospitals may be independently owned, corporate-owned, private-equity-backed, venture-backed, retail-owned, affiliated with a veterinary support organization, or connected to a specialty or emergency network.

Pet owners deserve to know who owns or financially backs the hospital caring for their animal.

What this site does not claim

This site does not claim that:

• Corporate ownership automatically means poor medical care.
• Independent ownership automatically means better medical care.
• Every listed hospital provides poor care.
• Every listed veterinarian is influenced by corporate ownership.
• Every medical decision at a listed hospital is controlled by a parent company.
• Any specific hospital overcharges, upsells, mistreats patients, or provides inferior care.

Veterinary quality depends on many factors, including doctors, technicians, staffing, training, leadership, systems, equipment, communication, culture, and accountability.

Ownership information

Ownership information can change. Hospitals may be bought, sold, rebranded, relocated, closed, reopened, or transferred between ownership groups.

Listings are based on public ownership signals available at the time of review, including sources such as parent-company websites, hospital locator pages, corporate career pages, job postings, acquisition announcements, investor information, public business records, licensing information where available, and ownership-transparency resources.

A listing should be understood as a consumer-education signal, not as a legal determination of ownership or control.

No veterinary medical advice

This site does not provide veterinary medical advice. Pet owners should consult a licensed veterinarian for medical questions about their animal.

If your pet is experiencing an emergency, contact a veterinary hospital, emergency veterinary facility, or poison-control resource immediately.

No legal advice

This site does not provide legal advice. Ownership classifications and public-source summaries are provided for consumer education and discussion.

Hospitals, ownership groups, or other parties seeking legal guidance should consult qualified counsel.

Corrections

We welcome corrections. If a hospital believes its ownership status is incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or unclear, please send written correction with supporting public documentation.
