VHA is an association for veterinarians, created by veterinarians, to help you save time, save money, and improve your bottom line.
VHA is the result of veterinary clinic owners working together to improve the veterinary landscape. Over 400 clinic owners have invested in themselves by becoming a member of VHA. Unlike other GPOs and distributors, we are member-owned and controlled, and have been since we opened our doors in 1983. We offer clinics competitive prices on products, exclusive discounts on services from partners, affordable business services, low- to no-cost CE opportunities, and reliable and ethical cremation. We bring the best parts of a co-op, distributor, non-profit, and service provider under one roof. We are your VHA.
Most companies simply offer promotions to meet their goals, not necessarily yours. You need trusted partners who have your success in mind.
VHA was created by veterinarians for veterinarians. Our business model operates around a certain set of values, and our decisions are shaped by the following:
We are your neighbors, friends, and family. Weβre just down the road in South St. Paul, MN, and we serve veterinarian clinics in the Midwest and nationwide. Stop by, say hi, and take a tour any time!
