Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Wellness Plan Enrollment
- Ask what percentage of active clients are enrolled in wellness plans and what the plans include.
- High wellness plan enrollment is one of the clearest signals that clients are loyal to the practice rather than to a specific veterinarian.
- Practices with a meaningful share of clients on annual plans generate prepaid, predictable revenue that renews year after year.
- Ask for enrollment trend data over the last two to three years to see whether that base is growing or stable.
Associate Vet Stability
- Ask how long each associate has been with the practice and how their client relationships are structured.
- Associates who have been there for five or more years and already manage their own client books mean the practice can survive a principal transition.
- Understanding whether the lead vet's clients see the practice generally or specifically seek out the owner-vet is one of the most important questions to answer early.
- Associate tenure is particularly hard to rebuild after a sale, so long-tenured associate teams are a genuine premium driver.
Service Mix
- Ask for revenue broken out by service category: wellness visits, dentistry, surgery, pharmacy, boarding, and grooming.
- Practices offering multiple services under one roof give clients more reasons to come back more often.
- Revenue spread across categories means the business doesn't depend on any single line of work.
- A full-service operation also tends to have higher average revenue per client, which matters when you're evaluating deal economics.
Online Reputation
- Check the review count, average rating, and response patterns on Google before you go deep in diligence.
- Hundreds of strong reviews combined with referral relationships with local breeders, rescues, and trainers create a steady flow of new clients without a marketing budget.
- That reputation is genuinely hard to replicate and adds real value to the acquisition.
- Ask how the practice currently manages its review profile and what the new client acquisition process looks like.
Licensing and DEA Registration
- Ask about the process for transferring the veterinary facility license and DEA registration for controlled substances in your state.
- Practices with associate vets already on staff can typically continue operating under their credentials during the changeover.
- Getting clarity on state timelines early prevents licensing gaps from disrupting operations after closing.
- Ask the seller what they would recommend based on how the practice is currently structured.
