We often get the question, "What is Co-Ownership?"

It’s simple! We co-own practices with veterinarians, letting them treat patients and provide local leadership, while we handle all the business functions, including but not limited to: marketing, finance & accounting, operations, HR, and recruiting.

How does it work?

We’re so glad you asked!

VPP Partner Hospitals

Dr. Goodvet IS
READY FOR A CHANGE.

Maybe she’s nearing retirement, 
or burned out from managing the business 

Enter Co-Ownership

Dr. Goodvet partners with VPP.  She gets upfront cash for selling a portion of her business that reflects current market value and VPP gets to work immediately, and she has more time both in the exam room, and outside the practice.

Dr. Goodvet has clinical control

Dr. Goodvet can continue to practice medicine like she always has (with way fewer management worries!) while still enjoying profit distributions as a co-owner.

VPP Manages the Business

VPP assumes responsibility for managing the business on day 1 of partnership, removing day-to-day business burdens that keep Dr. Goodvet from her patients.

Partnership

Dr. Goodvet continues to share in the practice growth until she is ready to retire on her own timeline (2 years? 20 years?) without worrying about what will happen to her hospital and her staff.

"The owner is always on the hook for whatever comes up at the clinic. For years, it was just me juggling clients, staff, and trying to get some time at home.

VPP ALWAYS HAS MY BACK AND I GET MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY."

How We Work Together

You didn’t go to vet school to run payroll, design marketing programs, or run reports. With VPP’s help, you can get back to practicing medicine without having to worry about running the business.
