Partner Testimonials
- James Kelly, DVM - Partner
-
We received a fair valuation of our practice, and through every step before and after the closing, VitalPet has been true to their word. The opportunity to get our money out of the practice we had built and even multiply that equity through stock options was especially attractive. Our style of practice has changed very little, our capital needs for our practices has been met, and the management of VitalPet has taken so much off our plates the practice is more enjoyable than before.

Now we are practicing the high standard of care that we want to and I no longer have to worry about the accounting that tended to take up my weekdays and weekends. I have more time to practice medicine as well as spend more time with the family.
- Mike Key, DVM - Partner (retired)

My situation was a little different. I actually retired soon after the sale. VitalPet renovated my practice and recruited doctors that my clients love. I believe in VitalPet’s plan and team, and decided to invest cash in the company.

I recently graduated from Texas A&M among the top of my class, and although my teachers urged me to pursue specialization, I knew general practice was for me. When I started considering VitalPet, my friends warned me against corporate practice with its strict protocols and drug formularies - ‘cookbook medicine’. I am happy to say that I have the freedom to practice exactly how I want, and my personal mentoring opportunities and exposures to different ares of interest are the envy of my classmates.

Before we partnered with VitalPet, I had my son look at the deal. My son, who has spent 20 years in a high level career in finance, told me, ‘Dad, this deal is a no-brainer. Your equity is protected and you have some real upside as the company grows. Go for it.’
- Tonya Tristan, Practice Manager

VitalPet has integrated into our practice allowed me to continue to develop my marketing and management skills. I feel this is a place where I can continue to grow.
- Warren Resell, DVM - Partner

Partnering with VitalPet was worked out well for us. We needed a partner to help us reach our retirement goals in a few years, but wanted to ensure our legacy of a family environment would be preserved. I feel very comfortable with our new family.
- Benjamin Thomas, CEO

It’s neat to see what happens in our medical board meetings. The room comes to life as doctors share best practices of the profession, drawing from there experiences as business owners. You can really feel the energy and excitement as we all recognize that we are part of something that’s bigger than any one person. VitalPet is setting new standards!
