Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary Complete Merger, Creating 55-Clinic US Veterinary Network

New York, July 11, 2026: Two fast-growing US veterinary care companies, Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary, have completed their merger, creating one of the largest premium veterinary clinic networks in the United States.

The combined company will operate more than 55 veterinary clinics, employ over 1,000 people, including more than 170 veterinarians, and serve a community of more than 500,000 pets across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Financial terms of the merger were not disclosed.

Two modern veterinary networks come together

Both Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary were created with a similar aim: to make veterinary care more personal, convenient and easier for pet owners to access.

Bond Vet opened its first clinic in Brooklyn in June 2019 and initially focused on urgent veterinary care. It later expanded into routine health checks, vaccination, surgery and dental care.

Small Door was built around a modern veterinary clinic model combining medical care, technology and easier communication between pet owners and veterinary teams. Its current services include preventive care, urgent care, surgery, diagnostics and 24-hour veterinary telemedicine.

The companies said they often serve the same neighbourhoods and share similar views on building long-term relationships between veterinarians and pet owners.

Combined network will serve more than 500,000 pets

Scale is one of the most important outcomes of the merger.

With more than 55 clinics and 170 veterinarians, the combined business will be able to share medical expertise and technology across a much larger network.

The companies said connected technology will help maintain continuity of care, allowing veterinary teams to better understand a pet’s medical history and support care across different clinics.

For pet owners, the larger network could also mean greater access to veterinarians and a broader range of veterinary services.

Small Door co-founder Florent Peyre to lead merged company

Florent Peyre, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Small Door Veterinary, will become CEO of the combined organisation.

Joe Altobelli, President and Chief Financial Officer of Bond Vet, will move into the role of Executive Strategic Advisor.

The leadership structure brings together Small Door’s membership-based veterinary model and Bond Vet’s experience in primary and urgent veterinary care.

Merger follows major investment in both veterinary groups

The deal also brings together two well-funded veterinary businesses.

Bond Vet announced a $170 million investment from Warburg Pincus in 2021. Small Door raised $55 million in 2025, including $35 million in equity and a $20 million debt facility.

The merger comes at a time when investors continue to show strong interest in veterinary clinics and pet healthcare businesses in the United States.

US veterinary clinic market continues to consolidate

The Bond Vet-Small Door deal is another sign of continuing consolidation in the US veterinary services market.

Larger veterinary groups are building networks of clinics that can share technology, administrative systems, recruitment resources and medical expertise.

However, the growth of corporate veterinary networks has also increased discussion around veterinary care costs, clinic ownership and transparency.

Against this background, Bond Vet and Small Door are positioning their combined business around personal care, trust and better access to veterinary services.

A major new veterinary care network emerges

The merger creates a sizeable new competitor in the US companion animal veterinary services market.

More than 55 clinics, 170 veterinarians and 500,000 pets served give the combined company significant scale in some of the country’s largest urban veterinary markets.

The next important question will be how quickly the combined group expands its clinic network and whether the merger can deliver more accessible and connected veterinary care while maintaining the personal experience promised by both brands.

For the US animal health industry, the deal is another clear signal that veterinary services remain an important area for investment, expansion and consolidation in 2026.
