Pets and their families come first.

We’ve built a community of like-minded clinics that share ideas and knowledge, each one making the others better. We work closely with our clinics to ensure we’re supporting happy, healthy pets every single day.

Who We Help

Pets & their families

We embrace modern best practices and medical technology to deliver high quality care, and we centralize business support services to relieve administrative burdens. This allows veterinary professionals to focus on what’s most important – animal care.

Retiring & transitioning vets

We provide clinic owners comfortable and dependable retirement options by purchasing some of their most significant assets – their clinics and their real estate. We collaborate with owners to build customized transition plans focused on preserving their legacies.

Working vets

We create compelling career paths and long-term employment opportunities for the next generation of animal care professionals. Our personal approach and professional support promote the stability and growth of each and every clinic.

Clinic staff

Our clinics are the heartbeat of PetWell Partners. We cultivate attractive working environments and cultures for all clinic staff members, making sure they have the resources to give every pet proper attention and keep clients well-informed.

The PetWell Approach

We pride ourselves in working closely with our clinics to ensure we’re supporting happy, healthy pets. From our Rice Village home office in Houston, we take painstaking efforts to minimize our clinics’ administrative burdens every single day.

We look for:

  • Good clinics and good people
  • Track records of positive community impact
  • Select, growing urban and suburban markets (we seek multiple clinics in areas we enter, to establish regional clusters)
  • Strong visibility / high-traffic areas
  • Vets seeking retirement and/or relief of administrative burden
  • Structure a mutually beneficial deal that will set owning vets up for a comfortable retirement
  • Create a legacy preservation plan to maintain clinic goodwill and community focus
  • Collaborate on a flexible, creative, and customized timeline to retirement / transition – a unique solution for every vet
  • Work closely with the clinic team to build mutual understanding and healthy working partnerships
  • Learn as much as possible about the business and people over the first months of transition – no pre-set plans

We work with local management, staff, and stakeholders to build a customized plan unique to each clinic. Then, we articulate and implement changes to maximize clinic performance – what’s important to you is important to us.

  • Preserve clinic’s history, and legacy – each clinic keeps its original name
  • Honor clinic character, culture, and traditions
  • Respect professional and personal relationships
  • Leverage practices that have historically worked well
  • Ensure that the highest customer service standards are in place
  • Focus on culture, talent development, and career paths for everyone involved
  • Update and optimize management structure, technology, infrastructure, and facilities
  • We take great care to ensure our selling vets will remain proud of their clinics for years and decades after transition.
  • With confident management and best practices in place, the clinic is equipped to carry forward with the highest standards of medicine and service.
  • Iterative improvement, continued investment, and ongoing clinic support – “shared autonomy”
