Independent vs. corporate

Is your Alexandria vet locally owned?

Large corporate groups now own a big share of U.S. veterinary clinics, and many keep the original local name. If ownership matters to you, it’s worth checking before you choose a vet in Alexandria.

Quick ways to tell

  1. Check the website footer or privacy policy for a parent company name.
  2. Look for phrases like “a proud member of” or “part of the ___ family.”
  3. Ask the front desk who owns the practice, and whether any vets are owners.
  4. Know the big brands: Banfield, VCA, and BluePearl are owned by Mars Veterinary Health.
