Have you noticed your local vet clinic changing lately? Ed Dowd, a former Blackrock fund manager, just shared some eye-opening information about private equity groups quietly buying up local veterinary practices. The most disturbing part? He points out the intentional push for interventions and protocols that they know will create expensive, lifelong health problems for our dogs.
This isn't just an accident—it's a business model.
