Partnership Overview
Integrus Partners is pleased to announce the successful completion of a partnership between a leading animal hospital near Santa Cruz, CA, and Western Veterinary Partners. The partnership brings together a large, trusted community animal hospital and a partner aligned with the seller’s values and vision for the future.

Client Testimonials
Selling Veterinarian
"I’m very happy with the whole experience, especially the outcome with WVP, and I’m convinced that the good outcome is largely due to my partnering with the good people at Integrus.
When I engaged Integrus, I was working full time and trying to juggle the sale myself—constant phone calls, reams of financials, and other documents, and feeling increasingly buried in the process. Integrus made the process much more organized and manageable, and even fun. The team explained exactly how the process would go, how to position and represent our hospital, and arranged meetings with leading companies interested in our practice. They guided us through the offers, negotiations, and ultimately the selection of WVP as the company most aligned with our values and outlook."
