Unlock New Potential Through Shared Ambition
We partner with practices through a shared ambition to grow together. By working alongside owners who share our values, we take an intentional approach to partnership, one that preserves what makes each hospital special while helping veterinary teams reach their full potential. Our model enables shared success that protects culture, people, and the medicine you believe in.
Rooted in local leadership and medical independence, our long‑term perspective guides every decision. As a community‑building corporate partner, we bring additional resources, recruiting strength, operational expertise, and caregiver support while honouring the individuality of every practice. NVA Canada is your partner in possibility, empowering Canadian hospitals like yours to achieve new goals.
Our Servant Leadership model focuses on empowering others, removing obstacles, and creating an environment where individuals can perform at their best. By putting people first, we build trust, encourage collaboration, and help drive stronger, more sustainable results for everyone involved.
From First Conversation to Shared Success
Future Vision for Alignment
We start with an open, confidential conversation—focused on understanding your practice, your goals, and what you are looking for in a potential partner. This transparent discussion helps us decide together whether our future visions align—and if it makes sense to explore a partnership further with next steps.
Get to Know Each Other
We spend ample time getting to know you and your practice, and give you the opportunity to get to know NVA. Comprehensive discussions on the business, leadership, team, and culture will ensure fit. As part of the process, we will complete a thoughtful assessment of the practice, including financial performance.
Decision on Moving Forward
Assuming there is mutual interest in moving forward, our NVA Canada team will present the opportunity to NVA's investment committee. Following review and contingent upon approval, we will prepare a Letter of Intent outlining the proposed offer terms, which will be presented to you for review and consideration.
Integrate into NVA Community
At this stage, we move into a more active partnership, working closely with your team to complete diligence and build a joint plan for integration and growth. This includes outlining a timeline of key operational activities leading up to and post‑close, as we begin welcoming your practice into the NVA Canada community.

"When I first considered partnering with NVA Canada, I was apprehensive. Looking back, I can honestly say they’ve lived up to every promise they made.
I still practice medicine the way I always have — only now I have more time to focus on my patients, mentor my team, and support my staff instead of worrying about every aspect of running the business.
Our hospital culture hasn’t changed, and we’ve gained an incredible network of people and resources behind us. If I had to make the decision again, I’d do it in a second.”

“Being part of the NVA Canada community has given me the opportunity to learn from others, share ideas, and continuously grow both personally and professionally.
Team members are encouraged to share feedback, opinions, and ideas, and that spirit of collaboration helps everyone succeed.
The commitment to developing people at every level has completely changed my perspective on corporate veterinary practice.”
