You have probably heard of veterinary practices selling their services to other veterinarians. What does it take to become a veterinary practice owner? There are two types of veterinary practices: those owned by individual veterinarians and those owned by groups of veterinarians. The latter group is called a veterinary hospital or clinic. A veterinary practice is a professional service organization that provides medical care to animals. Veterinary practices are usually run by a single veterinarian who has a team of support staff.

The main difference between the two types of veterinary practices is ownership. In one case, the veterinarian owns the practice, while in the other case the practice is owned by a board of directors.
