At Crossroads Animal Hospital, we are proudly privately owned, locally rooted, and woman veterinarian-owned — and that's something we never take for granted. 🐾
In recent years, a growing number of veterinary clinics have been purchased by private equity companies. It's a trend that's worth understanding, because ownership matters more than most people realize.
When you bring your pet to us, you're not a transaction. You're a family we've chosen to show up for. Your money stays in our community instead of going to an out-of-state investment group. Our pricing reflects what it actually takes to support a team of people who love what they do. And every upgrade we make — to our equipment, our space, our medicine — is made with you and your pets in mind, not a quarterly earnings report.
We are happily welcoming new clients, and we mean it when we say we want to be true partners in your pet's health.
