Private Equity is buying up veterinary clinics and pet hospitals: a "Future-Proof Enterprise"

[Auggie]

4. One possible benefit but it's unlikely to happen IMO ...

consolidated practices could lead to shared lab equipment and advanced devices that smaller clinics can't afford. But that's provided you find a private equity firm with scruples to actually provide something like, say, adequate and moral health care. Maybe they do/will, but at a much steeper price. Shit, next they'll start buying up pet food and medicinal suppliers and push their brands over others.
