Southern Veterinary Partners

Southern Veterinary Partners A veterinarian owned and managed network of animal hospitals. Each day is truly a partnership (hence, the “P” in SVP). We find ways to say, “yes”. It’s a career.

SVP provides integrated support, from HR, finance, and inventory management to marketing, recruiting, regional operational support and more to our hospital teams. By leveraging our Home Office resources, the hospitals in our network are able to focus on the medicine and caring for their patients. Our team’s continuous dedication has rewarded us with remarkable growth, and Southern Veterinary Partn

ers now employs more than 5,000 employees nationwide. The organization’s success has not gone unnoticed, landing us recognition among Inc. 5000’s List of "Fastest Growing Companies in America" (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021) and the Birmingham Business Journal's "FastTrack 30" of the Fastest Growing Companies in Birmingham (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021). Our brand in a nutshell: You + SVP | Amazing Together

Amazing Together encompasses SVP’s living standard of excellence as a team and the positive impact we deliver for our partners, our clients, and our pets—as well as our teammates. Our commitment to amaze is evident in the care we provide to our hospitals and the care they provide for pets. Our continued growth is a direct result of this dedication. This statement is the culmination of our WAG values and is, critically, a statement that aligns with the ambitious vision and unique culture at the heart of SVP. We live out our WAG Values on a daily basis. Work Together: At SVP, collaboration and respect are the foundation of our culture--and of our collective success. By working together, we uncover solutions and opportunities that help elevate the team as a whole. And with our unparalleled peer network and depth of resources, our teams always have the support that they need to do their best work (and have fun while they’re at it). Amaze: Our mission is to amaze our clients with exceptional veterinary care and personalized client experiences, as well as to amaze our teammates with the drive to go the extra mile. And we treat others as we would like to be treated. Grow: We always ask, “How can we do it/make it better?” We’re proactive in our quests for knowledge, new ways to engage our clients, and pathways for leadership and development among all of our teammates. With SVP, it’s not just a job.

They call a dog “man’s best friend” for a reason. Whether they’re greeting us at the door with endless excitement, adventuring alongside us, or curling up with us after a long day, they have a special way of making every moment brighter.

A dog’s love is pure and unwavering–and it’s truly a gift to get to care for them. ❤️ Happy to all dogs around the world who have touched our lives in countless ways! 🐶

Sweet Jacob is in remission–because of early detection bloodwork. ❤️

At his annual checkup, Jacob had early detection bloodwork performed to ensure his health was in good standing. That’s how an elevated liver enzyme was found in his ALT—all other values were normal. He was started on a liver support supplement, Denamarin, and the value was rechecked a month later, showing further elevation.

Dr. Kimberly Mistarz and her team at Animal Hospital of Old Metairie decided to dig deeper. They identified a cancerous liver tumor on his ultrasound. After a CT scan to determine if the mass was surgical, Jacob was scheduled for surgery and had a successful liver lobectomy on August 1, 2024.

Jacob’s cancerous tumor was successfully removed. Had it not been for routine EDB, this mass may not have been discovered in time to be operable.

Jacob has a human sibling on the way and is so grateful he will get to grow old alongside his family because his paw-rents chose to have early detection bloodwork performed at his annual exam and vaccines. ❤️

"Jacob is recovering from his liver lobectomy very well–he has his spirit back and gets his staples out later this week!” - Jacob’s Mom

Thank you to the Animal Hospital of Old Metairie team for your AMAZING and proactive medical care! 🐾

"Preserving culture is important to all practice owners. We build our practices, hire doctors, and employ people who mirror our personality traits. Of all the companies I considered partnering with, I believed that SVP would allow us the greatest opportunity to keep our culture in place in our clinic." - Dr. Jim Lovell at Eastside Animal Clinic in Athens, AL.

Solid workplace culture is anchored in trust. And the fact that 54:1 practice owners recommend SVP as a partner of choice speaks to that. 🐾

In this edition of our Out of Office series, Meet Shelby Caroon, a Business Intelligence Systems Specialist at SVP & a lover of all things musical theater! 🎭

Shelby has been passionate about musical theater for as long as she can remember. Growing up in a musical family, with her dad being in a band, she was constantly surrounded by music. Shelby’s early exposure sparked her love for performing, and it has been an integral part of her life ever since.

“Whether I'm singing, dancing, or acting, I find immense joy in bringing stories to life on stage. The thrill of live performance, the camaraderie with fellow cast members, and the chance to immerse myself in different characters offer me a unique opportunity to express myself creatively and connect with others.”

Shelby participates in many shows for community theaters, often aiming to raise money for the arts.

“This allows me to combine my passion for performing with a meaningful purpose, contributing to my community's cultural enrichment and support of the arts. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that my performances help sustain and promote the arts, positively impacting those around me.” ✨

P.S: Shelby also recently brought the house down with her singing talents at our annual conference 👏 SVP’s (unofficial) favorite sport? Karaoke. 🎤

Happy 4th of July! We hope you have a safe and fun holiday. 🇺🇸 Here are a few tips to help your furry friends have a safe & stress-free day. ❤️

🐾 Before fireworks begin, give your pet plenty of activity. When they start, ensure your pet has a safe space to relax and retreat from noise.

🐾 More pets get lost on the 4th than on any other day of the year! If your pet will be outside, ensure they have proper ID tags or a microchip.

🐾 Keep alcohol, food, and potentially unsafe decorations out of your pet’s reach!

Meet Rupert, a 1.5-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat owned by one of our awesome Vet Assistants, Laura, in North Carolina! ❤️ Every year, Laura brings her cats to be seen by Dr. Wyatt for their annual physical exams, vaccines, and early detection wellness lab work.

Before Rupert's appointment, Laura had no concerns or thoughts about his lab work being abnormal. During Rupert's physical examination, Dr. Wyatt noted she heard a possible heart murmur but wanted further testing to be sure. So, she suggested adding a ProBNP panel to his early detection lab work.

Rupert's lab results showed an abnormal value for his ProBNP. The reference range is 0-100 pmol/L, and his value came back as 508 pmol/L. This proBNP marker measures the stress and stretch of the heart, and with an elevation this high, our doctors become concerned about heart disease/failure.

With these results, Dr. Wyatt recommended scheduling a visit with a board-certified veterinary cardiologist at CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets, one of our veterinary specialty partners, for an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) and any additional recommended diagnostic testing. After visiting CVCA, Rupert was diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (thick heart muscle disease), and it was also noted that he has severe left ventricular outflow obstruction (the cause of his murmur). They prescribed him Atenolol, a medication used to reduce heart rate and improve blood flow.

Six months later, we are thrilled to announce that Rupert's heart rate has returned to normal since starting the medication! He will continue on this prescription, and we will recheck his progress in six months.

Thank you, Dr. Wyatt and Tenth Street Animal Hospital, for your AMAZING medical care! 👏

This is just one of the many stories we have to share that embodies our dedication to working together with pet parents and our specialty partners for the best possible pet outcomes. 🐾

"When I founded Pet Care Center in 1990, it had one receptionist. I grew the practice into a 24-hour facility with 5 satellites across our market. I needed a partner who could provide me with the knowledge and insights to manage a company that had grown so large. SVP emerged as a clear leader because they were kind. Even before they knew we were interested in selling, they made investments in us." - Dr. Steve Slaton of Pet Care Center in Metairie, Louisiana.

We are a company that is veterinarian-led to help veterinarians truly lead. ✨
