Your Journey to Partnership

We know selling your hospital is a big decision — that’s why our process is built to make it easy.

Support that Goes Beyond the Hospital

The administrative weight of ownership is real — payroll, recruiting, marketing, compliance. When you partner with CareVet, that weight shifts. Our back-office team handles the noise so you can focus on the exam room, your team, and the reason you built this practice in the first place.

Meet the Team

CareVet evaluates veterinary hospitals by looking at the full health and future potential of the practice, not just revenue. We consider factors such as historical financial performance, number of doctors and team members, client loyalty, patient growth, services offered, facility condition, local market opportunity, and long-term growth potential. Every veterinary practice is unique, so two hospitals with similar revenue may have very different values based on location, team, culture, and opportunity. Our team works closely with you throughout the evaluation process to understand your goals and provide transparency. Whether you are ready to sell your veterinary practice or simply want to understand its value, we are happy to have a confidential conversation.

Your career path after selling your veterinary practice depends on your personal and professional goals. Some owners continue practicing medicine, while others move into leadership, mentor younger doctors, reduce their schedule, or begin transitioning toward retirement. CareVet works with you to create a transition plan that fits your ideal timeline and level of involvement. Selling your hospital does not have to mean walking away from the career, team, or community you built. Our goal is to give you more flexibility while protecting the future of your practice.

We understand that your team is one of the most important parts of your veterinary hospital’s success. CareVet’s goal is to retain and invest in existing team members whenever possible. After joining our network, your team may gain access to expanded continuing education, leadership development, career growth opportunities, clinical resources, operational support, and competitive benefits. We also work to preserve the culture and personality that make your hospital unique. Our focus is helping your team grow while continuing to serve the clients, pets, and community they know best.

Building updates depend on the specific needs and opportunities within each veterinary hospital. After partnering with CareVet, we evaluate areas such as facility condition, medical equipment, technology, workflow, and the overall client and patient experience. Some hospitals may receive equipment upgrades, technology improvements, renovations, or other facility investments over time. We do not apply the same plan to every hospital because each practice has different needs. Our goal is to make thoughtful improvements that help doctors practice better medicine, support the team, and strengthen the hospital for the future.

For many veterinary practice owners, their hospital represents years of hard work, meaningful relationships, and deep community trust. CareVet is committed to protecting the legacy you have built while supporting the long-term future of your practice. We prioritize continuity for your team, clients, and patients, while preserving the important role your hospital plays in the local community. Our goal is not to replace what made your practice successful, but to provide the resources and support needed to strengthen it for the next generation of pets, families, and veterinary professionals.

Care You Can Feel. Stories You Can Trust.

“When I met CareVet, truly a world of opportunity opened up for me. They created opportunities for me to finance my retirement and create a stable exit strategy. I’ve had way more time to spend with my family, and truthfully for the first time in 17 years, I was not here on January 1st closing out the books.”

Dr. Rhiannon McKnight

Previous Owner, Vet Stop Animal Clinic

“I love my staff and I want them to be cared for like I would care for them, and any time I ask CareVet to do something, whether it’s a party or raises for some people or a bonus here and there, they were always open to discuss and always follow through.”

Dr. Stacey Wallach

Previous Owner, Town and Country Veterinary Hospital

“I continue to be impressed with the level of concern and willingness to help during our transition into the CareVet family. There has never been any pressure to modify what we do or change the way we practice, in fact it is just the opposite.
