Corporate vs Cara - Cara Veterinary

Different At The Root

Ultimately, priorities are set by who writes the checks. Cara is 100% family owned and family funded. And it makes all the difference.

Funding

Many corporate veterinary groups are funded by private equity partners who ultimately answer to shareholders. These are some of the largest financial institutions in the world, and the nature of their company and reporting structure means a drive to always prioritize consistent revenue growth and profitability.

100% of Cara's funding comes from a family-owned financial partner. We believe that strong financial health is a natural consequence to prioritizing people first.

Priorities

For many private equity institutions, the goal is to purchase veterinary practices at an attractive multiple, introduce “efficiencies” and streamline their operations, and ultimately bundle and sell their practices to an even larger institution at an even larger multiple. Ultimately, the priority is always revenue growth. Teams receive pressure from the top to see more patients in less time, and hit production quotas.

We do not believe this is a healthy future for veterinary medicine. The problems it causes are as obvious as they are serious. Because of our funding structure, we are able to prioritize what matters most: a radically new way to take care of people, pets, and communities.

Transitioning Owners

Oftentimes, transitioning owners are racked with guilt when selling to a corporate group. They know that the future of their practice, team, patients and clients is out of their hands, and the legacy they have built no longer has their protection.

Cara is not about optimizing revenue and profits. We are about building a better future for this industry. You won’t sacrifice your exit valuation, but you will get the kind of exit that you, your team, your patients and your clients deserve.

It’s About Priorities

They make the difference.
