Earlier this week, Small Door Veterinary opened its 6th location in New York City.¹ The newest practice is Small Door’s second location in Brooklyn and can be found in the borough’s Park Slope neighborhood. The facility will offer a variety of services, including preventive care, 24/7 telemedicine, spaying and neutering, urgent care and emergencies, nutrition, dentistry, allergies and dermatology, diagnostic testing, euthanasia, surgical procedures, behavioral consultations, puppy and kitten care, and more.

“...[W]e’re excited to expand our modern, member-first approach with this new Park Slope location,” Florent Peyre, co-founder and CEO of Small Door, said in an organizational release.¹ “We’re committed to serving members where they are, providing next-generation veterinary care—including after-hours telemedicine support—to ensure pets receive the care they deserve.”

Small Door was one of the first veterinary care companies to receive B Corp certification¹—a designation given to businesses that achieve high social and environmental standards, public transparency, and legal accountability. The veterinary care provider is also American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)-accredited and has pursued AAHA accreditation for all of its practices.

CodaPet

The startup CodaPet—a network of veterinarians specializing in at-home euthanasia services—recently announced a milestone for its organization. What began as a small operation in only one city in California has grown into a network of more than 160 veterinarians in over 100 cities across the US in just over 2 years. These cities include rural and metropolitan areas, including Hawaii, Maine, Seattle, and Fort Lauderdale.

“We've grown faster than we imagined because the need is real," said Bethany Hsia, DVM, CodaPet cofounder, in a company release.² "More pet families are choosing to say goodbye at home, and more veterinarians are embracing the opportunity to make that experience peaceful and personal."

Lakefield Veterinary Group (Florida)

Lakefield Veterinary Group has partnered with the 5300 sq ft Emergency Pet Hospital of Collier County in Naples, Florida. In the near future, through the collaboration with the emergency pet hospital staff, Lakefield plans to expand the hospital’s services to include emergency and critical care 24/7.

Lakefield also recently acquired Catlett Animal Hospital in Catlett, Virginia; Compassion Animal Hospital in Bealeton, Virginia; and Northwest Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center in Rome, Georgia.

“We are excited and honored to partner with such great hospitals and passionate teams who care so much for the pets in their communities,” Chad Quick, chief development officer, said in a news release.³ “We will continue to invest in these hospitals to ensure these teams have the technology and resources they need to provide exceptional care to all pets who come to these hospitals.”
