BUYING A PRACTICE
A trusted partner in growing your veterinary business
Maybe you’ve recently learned about a practice that’s up for sale and you’re intrigued—but you want to know that you’re making a wise decision before you invest.
Or maybe you’re ready to take the next step but aren’t sure how to find the right practice for you.
Buying a veterinary clinic is a major investment—not just in terms of money, but also time and energy. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to find the right clinic at the right price, without unnecessary stress.
Veterinary Practice Advisors specializes in matching for-sale veterinary clinics with new owners who are aligned with their approach.
With years of experience in evaluating practices, we know how to determine the fair value for a practice, negotiate complex transactions, and ensure that the handover goes off without any issues.
We help prospective clinic owners answer tough questions like:
Once I get access to a practice’s financials, how do I determine if it can be made profitable again?
What does the transition look like if I purchase a practice from another veterinarian—and they keep doing the day-to-day work?
Does the clinic I’m looking at have a good reputation, or do we have some rehabilitation work to do?
Veterinary Practice Advisors has been brokering practice sales in Arizona and the Southwest for over 20 years.
If you’re ready to purchase a practice, whether it’s your first or your tenth, we’ll see to it that the process is as seamless as possible.
They were professional and helped me navigate the purchase quickly and efficiently.”

Why choose VPA?
We’re a boutique brokerage, and we say that proudly. When you choose VPA, you’ll work directly with us (Jim & John), and we’ll be as hands-on as you need. Many of our clients start by purchasing one practice through us, return to acquire more, and eventually come back when they’re ready to sell themselves.
We got our start in our home state of Arizona, and we know the market inside and out in a way that national brokers don’t. These days, we also help clinicians find the ideal practice in the Southwest and throughout the United States.
