Independent veterinary practice ownership is making a real comeback — and if you’ve been on the fence about whether now is the right time to pursue it, this is worth your attention.
Today’s Veterinary Business takes a look at the growing momentum behind independent veterinary practice ownership and why more DVMs are stepping away from corporate models to build something on their own terms. If you’ve ever wondered whether the window has closed, this piece offers a compelling case for why it’s actually wide open — and why the landscape may be more favorable for independent owners than it has been in years.
The shift is being driven by DVMs who want more autonomy over patient care, workplace culture, and long-term financial outcomes. Corporate consolidation has dominated the industry for over a decade, but a growing number of veterinarians are choosing a different path — one where they call the shots and build equity in something they own.
