Growing Veterinary Services

This well-established veterinary practice is located in
Stockholm, Saskatchewan, serving a 60-mile radius that
encompasses both urban and rural communities. The clinic
specializes in providing comprehensive veterinary services for
small animals and livestock, making it a vital resource for pet
owners and farmers alike. With a balanced clientele
consisting of approximately 50% companion animals
(primarily dogs and cats) and 50% livestock (including horses
and cattle), they have positioned themselves as a versatile
provider of animal health care. The clinic boasts a spacious
5,300 square foot facility designed to accommodate two exam
rooms and one consult room, a dedicated surgery suite, a
treatment room, and an X-ray room. Key service offerings
include: ambulatory services, preventative care, emergency
surgery, and routine checkups. The team consists of eight
full-time employees including: two Office Administrators, three
Registered Veterinary Technicians, one Non-Registered
Veterinary Technician, a Vet Assistant, and Kennel Staff. The
current owner plays an active role as the Licensed
Veterinarian, dedicating over 40 hours per week to patient
care, general oversight of operations, and emergency
services. The decision to sell comes from the desire to plan
for retirement – the seller has offered to stay with the
business for 1-2 years with the option to extend if the buyer
desires.

Priced at $895,000 a 15% down payment of $134,250 can
return $170,693 in the first year after debt payments. Growth
opportunities include increasing the Medical Staff,
implementing a marketing strategy, and expand into herd
health consultation. Offering specialized herd health
management services could appeal to local farmers looking to
optimize livestock productivity. These opportunities present
significant potential for revenue growth while enhancing
community engagement.
