Get To Know Us
It all started with a dog and a dream…
In 2015, Andrew Black founded VetCare with two practices in Mission, British Columbia. The next three years were dedicated to understanding the soul of each practice and the nuances of the veterinary industry.
Today, with nearly 50 practices coast to coast, Andrew (and the rest of our team!) is still learning new ways to improve pet health, unite veterinary professionals, and preserve the distinct heart of every practice.
We want to change how animal medicine is delivered for the better. Do you want to be a part of it?
Here’s What Your Transition Could Look Like
We hear you. Handing over your vet practice is a big change and can become overwhelming very quickly. Let’s break down step-by-step what your transition might look like:
We invite you to connect with us to provide us with an understanding of your practice and transition aspirations.
Let us answer your questions related to what is most important to you in a transition, including patient, client, and team care.
We value your input and welcome your involvement in shaping a transition plan that will benefit both the present and future prosperity of the practice.
Once you are comfortable that we understand your transition goals, and confident about how your legacy will continue to grow in our hands, our team will work with you to proceed with a review of your practice.
At VetCare, we seek high-quality practices that embody our values. If we find that your practice is an ideal match for our community, we will consider extending an offer to purchase your business. At this point, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with our leadership team to make sure you feel comfortable and aligned with us.
We truly care about supporting the well-being of you and your team throughout the transition process, from the initial offer to the final closure and beyond.
We take a collaborative approach to your transition, working together to develop a strategy that ensures your practice will continue to operate under the goals and vision you established.
We’re in this together and we’re committed to helping your team and clients thrive — and this is only the beginning of our journey together.
Our goal is to lift the weight of management responsibilities from your shoulders, allowing you to focus on your passion of practicing veterinary medicine.
With local support readily available, VetCare is dedicated to maintaining exceptional care for your patients, clients, teams, and continued success for your practice.
VetCare’s positive qualities include being Canadian, their focus on work-life balance, and the fact that they advocate providing the best possible care for staff, patients and families. They made the transition less stressful than expected, and there is the ability to “grow” within the corporation. I appreciate everything that VetCare stands for. This is why I decided to sell to VetCare.

Why Trust VetCare?
We celebrate individual practice culture
Every veterinary practice has its own culture, and every veterinarian has their own needs. You deserve more than a package deal. Your patients, staff, and community deserve more.
We are committed to recognizing and nurturing these individual characteristics, ensuring that they continue to flourish within our supportive network. This approach not only preserves but also enriches the diverse tapestry of practices that define our community.
Our people come first
Your team is what has made your practice exceptional. Their dedication and expertise are precisely what makes you an ideal fit for our community.
That’s why we are committed to enhancing their professional lives in meaningful ways. Our goal is to ensure they are not only eager to remain with the practice but also excited about their future within it.
We’re committed to Canadian values
Our roots are deeply entrenched in Canadian soil, and our promise to you extends beyond just business — it’s a pledge to preserve a legacy based on Canadian values of leading veterinary care, acting with kindness, and embracing diversity.
Our community of practices is vibrant and varied, but united in our collective commitment to improving animal healthcare with compassion, customization, and shared knowledge.
