🚨 Weather Advisory: Possible Delivery Delays 🚨
Winter weather in our area is causing limited visibility and challenging road conditions, which may result in delays for your VHA delivery today. The safety of our drivers and your team is our top priority.
We’re actively monitoring conditions and will make adjustments as needed. If road conditions become unsafe, we may ask our drivers to return to the office. Should this happen, we’ll personally reach out to all affected clinics.
If your clinic decides to close early due to the weather, please notify us as soon as possible by emailing [email protected]. This will allow us to alert your driver and help them avoid any unnecessary trips.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize safety during this winter weather. Stay warm and travel safely! ❄️

Send a message to Veterinary Hospitals Association:
VHA is an association for veterinarians, created by veterinarians, to help you save time, save money, and improve your bottom line.
Mission
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.
Values
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:
Integrity in all our dealings
Loyalty to veterinary clinic members and each other
Provide service to veterinary clinics
Honesty
Respect
Dedication
Consideration
We are your neighbors, friends, and family. We’re 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!
