5 SIGNS OF A TOXIC WORKPLACE THAT SHOULD BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY

What's Your Plan?

You’ve got some challenges ahead of you. We get it. More and more veterinarians are selling their practices to corporations to secure their retirement amidst limited options. Their desperate measures leave you and your glowing new veterinary degree in the dust.

Maybe you think you have what it takes to start a practice from scratch. Well, be prepared to work grueling hours. For years. And chances are you’ll hardly generate sufficient revenue to support yourself and your business.

If years of toil isn’t your thing, maybe a corporation is the way to go. Yet, be aware that while many can deftly manage the fiscal aspects of running a veterinary practice, oftentimes, their quality of care and services suffer. That doesn’t happen here. At Companion Animal Hospital, we understand that it’s the individual veterinarians who know their patients and clients best and are therefore better equipped to provide for their needs. So, we support veterinarians by giving them secure positions at one of our many hospitals, top-notch equipment, and a skilled support team.

Bottom Line: Too many corporations don’t accommodate clients at the same level as individual vets, which leads to a ‘quantity over quality’ situation.

We’ve Got a Better Idea

Our fantastic founders built Companion Animal Hospital in 2014 with the specific mission to counteract these corporate issues. Our goal is to combine the affordability and efficiency of corporate-owned practices with the quality of care and service provided in private practices to create the best value for pets and their owners. Basically, we have our cake and eat it, too.
