Why This Vet Sold His Practice to Corporate (And Doesn't Regret It) with Host, Eric Miller & Guest, Dr. Brad Petersen

from The Financial Beast Podcast for Practice Owners · host Econologics Financial Advisors

There’s no shortage of opinions about corporations buying veterinary practices — and most of them assume the worst. But what happens when a practice owner actually partners with corporate… and doesn’t regret it? In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Eric Miller sits down with Dr. Brad Petersen, Petersen Pet Hospital, to break down the real-world truth behind a corporate partnership: what changed, what didn’t, and what most vet owners misunderstand about “selling” versus partnering. You’ll hear: ✅ Why Brad chose a corporate partner instead of a full exit ✅ What improved after the deal (vendors, pricing support, recruiting, admin) ✅ Whether quality of care was ever compromised — and who controls medicine ✅ How staff reacted, and how to communicate the change the right way ✅ What the first 6 months looked like behind the scenes ✅ The tradeoffs owners should consider before making a decision If corporate ownership is anywhere on your radar, this is the episode to watch before you make a move. _________________________________________________________________________________ Want to schedule a free consultation?
