Imagine a world where every vet clinic is owned by the same handful of global corporations.
Where every clinic is ultimately controlled by a global head office; and decisions are made in boardrooms far from the animals and communities they affect.
That’s not a future we want to see.
At IndieVets, we believe vet clinics are best run by the people who are “there to care”…the veterinary teams who come to work each day to help animals and their owners.
By supporting independent vets, we’re also keeping the ownership dream alive for the next generation. They’re people who love living and working in their communities, supporting their local economy, and building a business that reflects their own values. That’s the special magic that independent vets bring.
And there are many others who believe in this too. If you’d like to learn more, here’s some further reading (and listening):
