About us
We’re a different kind of veterinary community. One that puts people and pets before anything else. One that understands the strength of each practice lies in its uniqueness, and works to protect it. One where knowledge flows freely, and practices learn, improve, and raise standards together. And one where every single one of us cares deeply. About the pets we treat. About the families we support. And about the local communities we’re part of. Because it's just who we are.
A refreshing alternative for people seeking to sell their veterinary practice
Selling the practice you’ve built from the ground up is never an easy decision. You’ve created something unique – culture your team believes in and a place pet owners trust. That’s not something you want to lose. At VetThing, we're proud to offer a different approach. An acquisition model that retains your sense of ownership. Your practice stays the same. The same people, the same standards, just supported by a wider community that shares knowledge and helps each other grow.
Straight-talkinghonestyno matter what
Our values are utterly unshakeable
We’ll be the spark that inspires generations of vets.
We’ll be straight-talking and honest, no matter what.
We’ll be trusting, caring and respectful of each other.
We'll be courageously curious, for our profession and each other.
We’ll build for long-term strength, not short-term scale.
We’ll fight to protect what makes each practice great.
Built on a simple belief
For us, it’s simple. Create the right environment for veterinary professionals, so they can deliver the best possible care for pets. That’s the belief we were built on. Behind the VetThing name is a team who understands what it takes to run a great practice. Vets by training, ex-practice owners, and professionals with experience in the veterinary world. People who know the pressures vet teams face, and who care deeply about getting it right. So we'll let that belief keep guiding how we work every single day.
Where knowledgeflows like water
We're part of Vetopia
We’re proud to be part of a leading European group of veterinary clinics, a community of over 200 practices across nine countries, all focused on delivering the very best care.
At the heart of Vetopia is a simple idea. Caring for animals is a people business. When veterinary teams thrive, so do their practices, so everything is built around creating the right environment to care for pets properly.
For practice founders, joining means becoming a shareholder in the group. Staying connected to what’s been built, while sharing in what comes next.
Dr Ben Hanning, our CEO
Veterinary teams are under more pressure than ever, and I’ve lived that reality as a veterinary surgeon. VetThing is about creating a different way forward. One that supports the whole practice team and support staff. Giving people the backing, resources and sense of ownership they need to do their best work, and deliver the level of care they believe in.
It's aBenthing
