COMPANION PLATFORM™ / PLATFORM™

Hospital Locations of Veterinary Consolidators

CARE for Pets™ has recently launched PLATFORM,™ a first-of-its-kind searchable online database tool that tracks acquisitions of veterinary consolidators for the pet care industry. Corporate consolidators acquire individual veterinary practices as quickly as possible and merge them into a single, larger corporation. The entity is typically resold within 3 to 5 years to another investor(s) for a substantial profit. In some cases, larger consolidators may opt to merge with another industry consolidator and or realize their investment gains through an initial public offering (IPO) — exit strategy.

Research conducted by CARE for Pets™ shows that many consolidators fail to publicly divulge the company names of their acquired individual veterinary practices on their corporate-facing website — vast majority fail to communicate changes in ownership on their individual practice websites to pet owners.

There are more than 70 corporate consolidators operating in the U.S. The PLATFORM™ app is currently available for a limited number of consolidators — additional hospital groups will be available in 2025.
