Better Business. Happier Vets. Healthier Pets.
Did you become a veterinarian because you love animals?
Watch: Dr. Brian Hurley,
our National Medical Director
Or because you love running a business?
At AmeriVet, we make you our priority.
So you can focus on your own
It’s natural to truly love some parts of your job – but merely put up with others. Maybe you thought you had no choice. But we’re here to tell you that you do.
We’re AmeriVet. We’re that genuine ‘unicorn’ of corporate veterinary partners. With us, it’s not all about taking over and dominating a veterinary practice. It is about collaborating and becoming true partners with veterinarians who own practices. We do this by supporting the business side of your practice.
How? That all depends on you! Our approach is not one-size-fits-all, so we customize the level of support we offer based on your practice’s individual needs – and your personal preference. If you want it, AmeriVet can offer you support in areas including – but not limited to – operations, marketing, recruitment, payroll, benefits administration, and training. Whatever the level of support we provide, we will work to take care of it efficiently, effectively – and profitably – for both you and us.
Intrigued? Keep going. You’ll learn how you can retain control of your practice and focus on caring for pets. You know—that thing you do love to do.

If you could describe your ‘dream’ partnership, would it sound something like this?
Based on what our veterinary practice partners have told us, they saw AmeriVet as ‘The One” because we helped them to…
- GAIN BENEFITS OF SCALE while staying true to the heritage and legacy that they worked so hard to build. Because that’s what their staff, pet patients, and pet owners love about them. That’s why and how they became successful in the first place.
- BECOME PART OF A LARGER TEAM so that they’d be able to increase their opportunities and abilities to the max. We gave them leverage and made it easier to keep up with industry best practices.
- GET CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT based on their practice’s individual needs. This allowed them to get help where they needed it most – when they needed it most. And didn’t force them to change things that were working well.
- GET A REALISTIC, IN-DEPTH LOOK into both their short-term and long-term futures. Including how to maximize their own retirement proceeds.
- GAIN ACCESS TO OUR EXCEPTIONAL RECRUITMENT DIVISION. This helped them to enhance and maintain the quality of their own practices. That’s because we handle every type and level of career and job in the industry. We find great people for them: The kind who are not only qualified with solid work ethics, but who are good fits, personality-wise. You know, it’s pretty much like the right pet being with the right person. It feels like it’s just meant to be.
Still have your attention? Keep going. We’ll make it worth your while.
The innovative AmeriVet business model is a success in thriving partnerships across the US.
Frankly, it’s growing faster than puppies and kittens! Are you surprised this kind of business model even exists? Well, we’re not surprised. After all, we’re a fairly young company. But we are wise beyond our years. We zeroed in on caring, hard-working veterinarians who didn’t like the idea of being swallowed up and losing complete control of their practices. We offer a very attractive, viable alternative. In fact, by the time you read this, there are probably even more pawprints on this map! We hope you’ll let us tell you some of the stories behind them.
Look How We’ve Grown Since 2017
Love being partners with AmeriVet as it gives me the support, freedom, and confidence to accomplish so much more as an owner and veterinarian. Great way to stay excited after 41 years in practice!

Veterinary Partnership FAQs
What are the benefits of a veterinary practice partnership?
There are several benefits to a partnership with AmeriVet. The most significant are:
- Retaining an active role in clinical decision-making, client care, and growing your business.
- Focusing on what you love — practicing veterinary medicine and treating the animals you care about while we work to integrate your business model with our business process support.
- Increasing your income by partnering with our operations team to elevate your business.
How does AmeriVet’s veterinary partnership model work?
AmeriVet offers two models to our veterinary partners: Joint Venture (JV) and Top Company (Topco).
In a JV sale, we purchase a majority share of your practice, and you retain a minority interest. This interest means you continue to have an active role (and financial stake) in growing the veterinary business, benefit from our profit-sharing platform, and receive a premium multiple on any future exit.
In a Topco sale, we purchase your practice in full, and a portion of your purchase price will be paid in AmeriVet shares. This means you continue to have an active role (and financial stake) in growing your veterinary business and ours!
Both models mean you can return to the day-to-day veterinary care you loved before becoming an owner, prioritizing animal health above all else — but you’ll be able to safeguard the core values of your veterinary practice as well as your team members and fellow vets.
Is selling a veterinary practice a complicated process?
In short, yes. But, with AmeriVet, it doesn’t have to be. We offer full transparency throughout the acquisition process, from the initial practice valuation and signing of an LOI to your partnership closing date. We’ll be with you every step of the way.
