Lakefield Veterinary Group

What Lakefield Veterinary Group does

Lakefield Veterinary Group is a privately-held veterinary practice support organization that partners with and acquires independent veterinary practices, supplying them with shared resources and technology while preserving their local operational independence and legacy. Founded in 2014 and led by co-founder and CEO Mollie Hoff, the company is headquartered in Kent, United States, and operates a network of practices spanning Florida, Virginia, Georgia, and Texas, with 1,001-5,000 employees reported across the platform.

The company's go-to-market motion is a roll-up model: Lakefield either acquires veterinary hospitals outright or enters into strategic partnerships in which it provides back-office, technology, and clinical resource support to independent operators who retain local autonomy. Reported partnerships include Emergency Pet Hospital of Collier County (Florida anchor, announced 2025-07-16) and PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center (Texas, announced 2025-11-05), while reported acquisitions executed on 2025-07-15 include Compassion Animal Hospital, Northwest Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center, and Catlett Animal Hospital. Revenue is generated through managed services and partnership arrangements with veterinary practices; specific pricing, contract structures, and per-clinic economics are not publicly disclosed.

Lakefield raised $105,000,000 in funding led by Peloton Capital Management on 2024-07-15, providing the capital base for its multi-state acquisition cadence. The company also operates a charitable program that funds veterinary care for rescued animals, exemplified by its 2025-11-05 partnership with the Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation. The product, technology, and AI capabilities underlying its practice-support offering are not detailed in available source material, and no revenue, profitability, or valuation figures have been publicly disclosed.
