Partnership Opportunities
As Veterinary Partners, We Are Building World-class Veterinary Care Together
Lakefield approaches partnerships in several ways, but the end goal is always the same: to build a world-class veterinary hospital with veterinarians who share our standard of excellence and vision for our aligned mission.
We are a family-owned business; therefore we have the flexibility to approach each veterinary partner based on its unique situation. We are building new multi-discipline specialty and emergency hospitals in partnership with veterinarians who strive for excellence in veterinary medical leadership and align with our geographical areas of focus.
Typically, partnership opportunities fall into the following categories.
Acquisition-Based partnerships
- Traditional joint ventures brought on by veterinarians selling the majority of their business to Lakefield
- Customized joint ventures tailored to achieve mutual goals
New business partnerships
- Traditional co-investment joint ventures
- Unique opportunities where veterinarians invest time and expertise in exchange for profit sharing beyond standard bonuses
