US VETERINARY MARKET DATA

We've built the list no one publishes.

Every state licenses its own vets, in its own format. We've already pulled all 50 into one dataset — who’s licensed, where they work, and who owns the practice — and we're processing it for teams hiring vets, buying practices, or selling to them. In addition, we parse company websites and use AI to pull in public records to augment and confirm the accuracy of our information.

Used by private-equity-backed groups of 75+ and 400+ practices.

THE WORKSPACE

We build the lists. You work in them.

Every client gets a workspace set up for them: their clinics loaded, the market around them counted, and the lists we build ready to filter, save and export.

HIRING

See who is hiring, and who you could hire

Open roles by position in your markets, next to the veterinarians, technicians and staff working there.

For hiring teams
The Hire workspace: open roles advertised and veterinarian openings as headline figures, beside a bar chart of open roles by position.

BUYING

Find the practices worth a call

Independent practices by size, place and type. Narrow to three or more vets in two states, then open the list.

For buyers
The Buy workspace for two states: independent practices, those with three or more veterinarians and those with a specialist, with bars by size, by state and by clinic type.

SELLING

Know who decides before you call

The practices in your markets, split by who buys: the owner, or one of the groups. Then what they offer and the animals they treat.

For sales teams
The Sell workspace for two states: practices, those that decide for themselves and those bought for by a group, with bars for the largest groups and the services practices offer.

THE LISTS

Every number opens a list you control

Filter by state, ownership, group, services or team size. Save the view. Export exactly what is on screen.

How we work with you
The Practices grid filtered to independent practices of three to five vets in one state, listed with city, ownership, vets and team size, with Save view and Export CSV buttons.

Screens from a client workspace, October 2026. The figures change as the data is refreshed.

How a workspace is set up

  1. We agree the scope

    Your markets, your clinics, and the questions you need answered.

  2. We build it

    Your clinics and territory are loaded, and the lists are built for you.

  3. Your team signs in

    Everyone gets their own sign-in. Filter, save views and export whenever you need.


01 / WHY THIS IS HARD

No one publishes this list

Fifty states, fifty formats

Every state licenses its own vets and publishes them its own way. There is no national register to download.

A license isn’t an employer

A license tells you someone exists. It doesn’t tell you who they work for. That has to be worked out separately.

The owner isn’t the name on the door

Practice ownership sits behind management companies and state-by-state LLCs. The independent clinic often isn’t.


02 / HOW WE KNOW WHAT WE KNOW

So we built it

Stage 01

The licenses

All 50 state boards. Every license pulled, duplicates matched across state lines — someone licensed in three states is still one person. About 125,000 in total.

Stage 02

Where they actually work

Practice websites and public profiles, to work out who employs whom. When we matched our 125,000 against the big professional networks, roughly two-thirds weren’t there — which is why a generic B2B database can’t do this job.

Stage 03

The map

Every practice geocoded, with drive times and Census data over the top — income, population density, pet ownership. It’s how “nearby” becomes a number instead of a guess.

Stage 04

What people say

Public reviews, triangulated from multiple sources and scored for sentiment and read for what they say about a practice — where it’s struggling, where it’s strong.

Building this is the work. It’s why the file is right.


03 / HIRING

You want to hire vets for your practices

Know how many vets you can actually hire near each clinic — before a role sits open for six months.

How we help with hiring
10 MI 535 20 MI 878 35 MI 1,074 CLINIC
Example, Austin, TX: actively licensed vets you could recruit around one clinic. Another 318 within 35 miles own a practice, so they go to business development instead. From state license records. See the full sample market build →

WHAT YOU GET

The data

Every licensed DVM, RVT, and LVT near each of your clinics — not a national file you have to filter yourself.

The analysis

How many of them you could realistically hire, per location. Some markets are full. Better to know which ones.

The outreach

We can match candidates to your open roles and sync them into your ATS. Or run the outreach ourselves.

PROOF

"A PE-backed network of 75+ locations used our data to make 20+ hires in 12 months, and stopped sending most of that work to outside recruiters."


04 / BUYING PRACTICES

You want to acquire or open practices

Know who really owns a practice, and whether enough vets live close enough to staff it.

How we help with acquisitions

WHAT YOU GET

The data

Who actually owns the practice — through the holding company, not the name on the door. And every licensed vet in the area.

The analysis

Doctors per capita, who else is competing nearby, what the area looks like on income and pet ownership, and what the reviews say about the practice you’re buying.

The outreach

If you want to talk to owners — including ones who aren’t looking to sell — we can reach them for you.

PROOF

"We checked staffing feasibility on a retiring owner’s practice — was there enough talent nearby to run it once they left — before the LOI went in."


05 / SELLING TO PRACTICES

You want to sell to practices or networks

Know which practices exist in your segment, who owns them, and which can use what you sell.

How we help with sales

WHAT YOU GET

The data

Practices and the people who own them, scoped to the market you sell into — built from license records, not inherited from a generic B2B database.

The analysis

Where the practices worth selling to actually are, and which ones can use what you sell.

The outreach

We can run it — the conversations with owners, not just the file that lists them.

PROOF

"A service vendor needed to sell to practice owners. We scoped the data, found the contact details, and ran the outreach."


06 / COMPARED WITH A BOUGHT LIST

Recruiting is not a sales list.

Most teams start by buying a list from a well-known contact database. Those databases are built for sales: business emails and the clinic's main line. A vet who is happy in their current job won't answer through the front desk, and their employer shouldn't see the message.

07 / ENGAGEMENT MODEL

How We Work With You

Data

A dataset built for your question — the geography you care about, the detail you need, in a workspace set up for your team, and delivered as a file or straight into your CRM when you want it there. If another source matters for your question, we merge it in. Every record carries source attribution and a confidence score.

Activation

We can also do the reaching out. Candidates, practice owners, whoever the data points at. Most of the time the data is the job. Sometimes what you actually need is the conversations.

Scope

One metro, a region, or every location you run. We agree the scope and the timeline with you before any work starts.

Who it’s for

Multi-site operators, buyers and sales teams, not single clinics. Each engagement is scoped and priced to your markets.


08 / WHAT WE'VE DONE

Built for groups that hire at scale.

Our clients include private-equity-backed groups of 75+ and 400+ practices. We cite them by size, not by name.

PE-backed group · 400+ practices

A national rebuild of a recruiting database

The group's hiring system had grown through years of campaigns and acquisitions. We rebuilt it from the state license records, and are now doing the same for their technicians.

  • License records from all 50 states
  • One record per vet, matched against the existing system
  • Duplicates merged; outdated and clinic-level contacts removed
  • Employer, specialty and practice status added
  • Practice owners separated from recruiting prospects
  • Every vet mapped to the nearest hospitals
  • Loaded back into the system and kept current

PE-backed group · 75+ locations

A year-long recruiting engagement

A PE-backed network of 75+ locations used our data to make 20+ hires in 12 months, and stopped sending most of that work to outside recruiters.

Acquirer · one practice

Buying a practice

A buyer was looking at a practice whose owner was retiring. They needed to know if enough vets lived nearby to staff it once the owner left. We counted, mapped the area, and answered before the LOI went in.

Service vendor

Selling to practices

A service vendor needed to sell to practice owners. We scoped the data, found the contact details, and ran the outreach.


09 / HOW WE WORK

We’d rather ship less and be right

Data Ethics

What that means

Every record carries where it came from and how confident we are in it. Records we can’t stand behind get removed, even when that makes the file smaller. A smaller file you can trust beats a big one you can’t.


10 / WHO WE ARE

Who we are

We’re a small team that builds veterinary datasets and, when it helps, runs the outreach on top of them. We care about whether the data is right, not how big the file is.

Client work runs from New York. Data engineering runs from Paris.
