Did you realise bigger is not always better when it comes to medical support? Be alert. The growing influence of private equity in the veterinary care market has led lately to more transactions than ever. The impact of these investments on a veterinary practice can have both advantages and disadvantages for dog-owners as well as for our four-legged friends and their treatments.
On the upside!
Advantages include improved financial stability, as investors can provide capital injections and enhance operational efficiency. They can also bring in additional professional management and expertise. This can result in upgraded facilities, advanced equipment, and a wider range of services for dog owners.
Less nice…
However, there are also potential disadvantages Bleecker’s Choices wants to point out for you. Investors often prioritize high returns, which can lead to increased costs for veterinary services and a shift in focus towards profitability rather than the welfare for our pets. There may be changes in business operations and protocols, potentially affecting the personal attention given to our pooches and you as an owner. Furthermore, there can be uncertainty about the long-term strategy of the practice due to the investor's exit strategy, which may result in frequent changes in ownership, staffing and management.
As proud and loving dog owners, we may experience benefits such as improved facilities and access to expertise, but we may also face higher costs and a potential decrease in personal attention. It is important to monitor any changes closely and communicate with the vets and staff to ensure the quality of care for your pet remains optimal!
