They’re talking about how joining our family of veterinary hospitals has enabled them to maintain a quality practice, receive substantial equity value, and provide a secure future for themselves and their staff. . . while expanding their free time and improving their lifestyle. Here are just a few examples:

“For years I avoided selling, because I would never allow anyone else to make care decisions for my patients. With Healthy Pet, I was able to benefit from the value of my assets while retaining total control of my patients’ treatment.”

– Larry Berkwitt, DVM, DACVIM, Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center, Norwalk, CT (Healthy Pet hospital since January 2006)

“I spent years in medical school because I wanted to practice medicine. As a Healthy Pet vet, my day revolves around medicine, not administrative chores.”

– Robert A. Nizlek, VMD, Davis Animal Hospital, Stamford, CT (Healthy Pet hospital since January 2006)

“As a holistic center, we require supplies that are not often used in conventional practices. Healthy Pet did not hesitate to accommodate our needs in their purchasing programs. They made me so confident that my patients would continue to receive the same level of care and services as always, I was able to retire with no reservations at all.”

– Deva Khalsa, VMD, CVA, FBIH, Animal Healing Center, Yardley, PA (Healthy Pet hospital since July 2005)

“The moment I finish with my last patient, my work day is over. No office work to catch up on, no worries to bring home with me.”

– Mohammed Eid, DVM, East Penn Veterinary Hospital, Emmaus, PA (Healthy Pet hospital since October 2000)

“When it was time to move on to new adventures, I needed proper compensation for my business and the knowledge that my staff would benefit from the new ownership. Healthy Pet provided me with both.”

– Richard Lau, DVM, Cheshire Veterinary Hospital and Veterinary Emergency Services, Cheshire, CT (Healthy Pet hospital since November 2003)

“Our greatest fear in retiring was that the staff we nurtured for 20 years would be transitioned out. With Healthy Pet, we could move on knowing our staff would remain and be well taken care of.”

– Drs. Robert and Deborah Gaddy, Pee Dee Animal Hospital, Florence, SC (Healthy Pet hospital since April 2005)

“There’s definitely an emotional hurdle in selling a business. But with Healthy Pet, I can still run the practice I love and be well compensated for it, while having more time to spend with my family. There’s really no downside.”

– C. Todd Lavender, DVM, North Atlanta Animal Medical Center, Atlanta, GA (Healthy Pet hospital since April 2003)

“Healthy Pet brings a lot of the same values I put into my practice: a commitment to delivering excellent care, building long-term relationships with clients, and treating co-workers as family.”

– Bill Ryan, DVM, DACVS, Darien Animal Hospital, Darien, CT (Healthy Pet hospital since January 2006)
