Care Animal Hospital of Pleasant Prairie

What Care Animal Hospital of Pleasant Prairie does

Care Animal Hospital of Pleasant Prairie is a privately held, full-service veterinary clinic organized as Care Animal Hospital of Pleasant Prairie, LLC, founded on April 10, 2000 by Dr. Russ Brewer and Dr. Rebecca Wilsey, both graduates of Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The practice operates from a single location at 9052 Prairie Ridge Blvd, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, and serves pet owners throughout the Pleasant Prairie community and greater Kenosha County area. The hospital holds American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accreditation, a designation attained on January 15, 2008 and held by only 15% of animal hospitals in the United States and Canada, and operates as a Fear Free Certified Practice with staff trained in protocols designed to reduce pet fear, anxiety, and stress.

Service offerings span wellness and preventive care, testing and diagnostics (including ultrasound and dental radiography), advanced care (cardiology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, orthopedics), surgical procedures (general, orthopedic, and dental surgery), physical rehabilitation (therapeutic exercises, laser therapy, hydrotherapy, massage), telemedicine, and specialty care for exotic pets and small mammals. The practice employs 7 veterinarians with diverse credentialing, including veterinary medical acupuncture, canine rehabilitation therapy, and veterinary spinal manipulation therapy, supported by 30+ staff across management, veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, office coordinators, and animal care roles. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes the PetPage mobile application for medical records and prescription refills, Zoom-based virtual consultations, and Airvet for hospital updates and discharge scheduling.

The revenue model is primarily transaction-fee based on veterinary services rendered (wellness exams, surgery, diagnostics, dental care, preventive care), supplemented by an in-house pharmacy dispensing medications and preventatives, a subscription-based wellness plan program billed annually, and telemedicine virtual consultations. Payment options include major credit cards, cash, personal checks, pet insurance, and CareCredit healthcare financing. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the single physical facility plus virtual channels; emergency, after-hours, and complex specialty cases are referred to a network of regional partners including Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center (Somers, WI), Veterinary Specialty Center (Bannockburn, IL), and VCA Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals (Greenfield, WI).

Emerging players

• Innovetive Petcare: Mid-sized veterinary consolidator focused on GP and specialty clinics, with a stated emphasis on preserving practice culture. Comparable as a potential strategic partner or acquirer for founder-led independent practices.

Broad incumbents

• Banfield Pet Hospital: Largest general veterinary practice chain in the U.S. (Mars Petcare), with hospitals commonly co-located inside PetSmart stores. Comparable as a scaled multi-DVM GP operator offering wellness plans and broad service menus.
• National Veterinary Associates (NVA): One of the largest independent veterinary consolidators with 1,400+ locations. A potential acquirer of Care AH and a structural peer as a multi-site general/specialty veterinary operator.
• PetVet Care Centers: Veterinary consolidator with 450+ hospitals across the Northeast, Midwest, and Southeast. Comparable as a multi-site GP/specialty acquirer and operator relevant to Care AH's potential exit path.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Mars Petcare-owned network of 1,000+ animal hospitals. Directly comparable full-service GP/specialty veterinary care, though at vastly greater scale and with corporate purchasing, marketing, and recruiting resources.

• Mission Veterinary Partners: Veterinary consolidator with 350+ animal hospitals across 30 states, with notable Midwest density. A logical strategic acquirer for Care AH given regional overlap and similar single-site general practice profile.
