When the unexpected happens, MyBalto is here to help. ❤️

💙 “You didn’t just save my dog — you saved my reason to live.”
David, a disabled veteran, found purpose again through his dog, Eri. When she needed urgent care he couldn’t afford, Summit Vet and the myBalto Foundation stepped in and changed both of their lives.

This is what hope looks like. 🐾
Join us in helping more pets like Eri!

November is Pet Diabetes Month!

Just like people, our pets can face challenges with diabetes — but with awareness, early detection, and good management, diabetic pets can live long, happy, healthy lives.

At The Veterinary Cooperative, we’re proud to support our shareholder hospitals in educating clients, promoting preventive care, and helping pets live their best lives. From nutritional guidance and monitoring tools to life-saving treatment options, our vendor allies help clinics provide quality diabetic care every day.

🐾 Let’s raise awareness together — because prevention starts with education.

TVC- Built Different. Built Together. Built to Last.
TVC believes independent doesn’t mean alone.

We’re not just a GPO. We’re a cooperative built for independently owned veterinary hospitals across the US—and we’re rewriting what success looks like in this industry.

💡 Thousands of hospitals
🗳 Every member has a voice
💸 Profits shared, not pocketed
🐾 Partnerships rooted in purpose

This Cooperative Month—and during the Year of the Cooperative—we’re celebrating what sets us apart:

A business model that’s fair.
A mission that’s shared.
A future we shape together.

Because when independent veterinary hospitals unite for collective power, the entire industry wins.

What do the 7 Cooperative Principles look like in the world of veterinary medicine? At TVC, they’re more than ideals—they’re the foundation of everything we do. 🐾

1️⃣ Voluntary and Open Membership → We welcome all independently owned veterinary practices to join TVC without discrimination.
2️⃣ Democratic Member Control → Every voice matters. Each TVC shareholder has an equal vote and shared responsibility in decision making.
3️⃣ Member Economic Participation → TVC members power the cooperative's success through their collective participation. The more we engage and grow together, the more everyone benefits. 💸
4️⃣ Autonomy and Independence → TVC doesn't own or control veterinary hospitals- we empower them. Each member practice maintains full autonomy to run their business and practice medicine as they see best.
5️⃣ Education, Training, and Information → TVC provides lifelong learning, continuing education, training, and shared knowledge- helping shareholder hospital teams grow stronger together. 📚
6️⃣ Cooperation Among Cooperatives → TVC partners with other cooperatives to share knowledge, amplify impact, and strengthen the cooperative community across industries. 🌐
7️⃣ Concern for Community → TVC and our shareholders invest in the communities we serve- supporting animal welfare, local initiatives, and environmental sustainability. ❤️

We're not just celebrating National Cooperative Month- we're living it every day.

Great webinar opportunity with our vendor partner, Inventory Ally! Check out their post below for more information and registration.

Imagine a client trying to book online — and failing. During the exam, the veterinarian is typing instead of connecting. Mid-visit, a product runs out. At checkout, a charge is missed. After the visit? No follow-up. The client never comes back 😱

We’re teaming up with our friends at PetDesk to share simple, practical ways to stop the leaks — and show you how automation can make every step of the client journey faster, smoother, and more profitable!

Join Nicole Clausen, Emmitt Nantz, Mary Schwartz, Scarlett Fox, and Ryan Leech for a dynamic discussion — and earn 1 hour of RACE + CVPM CE credit!
