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