re: Is there a bigger rip off than veterinarians?

Fun fact: Many of the vet practices are no longer owned by the docs. The practices have been sold to private equity owned companies, and the docs are under increasing pressure to deliver financial results.

Very true.. i recently found out that the vet clinic ive used for a long time was sold to a corporate entity .. only found out since i noticed their fees had gone up dramatically and one of the employees mentioned to me off the record that the practice had been “acquired”.. Id like to switch to a non-corporate owned practice, but does anyone know how to find out if a particular practice is corporate or more mom and pop ? Becuase most obviously dont advertise it, and id never have know this about my vet clinic unless the employee hadnt mentioned it to me .
