Newberry Animal Hospital

What Newberry Animal Hospital does

Newberry Animal Hospital is a privately-held, locally-owned multi-location small-animal veterinary practice group headquartered in Newberry, Florida and serving Alachua County since 1990. The group operates four hospitals — Newberry (HQ, established 1990), 39th Avenue, Main Street, and Springhill (the former Timberview Pet Clinic, absorbed in 2022-2024) — and offers comprehensive veterinary care for dogs and cats including wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, surgery, diagnostic imaging (digital radiography and ultrasound), allergy testing, microchipping, integrative therapies (acupuncture and laser therapy), boarding, pet transport, house calls, and telemedicine. Ancillary revenue streams include prepaid wellness packages for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs; prescription fulfillment through an in-hospital pharmacy and online channels via VetSource and Chewy partnerships with manufacturer rebates; and boarding/kennel services at the Newberry and 39th Avenue locations.

The operational technology stack is conventional veterinary practice infrastructure: IDEXX-based online booking and practice management, a Vello Pet Portal for client records and scheduling, a Direct Digital Radiologic imaging suite, telemedicine for virtual consultations, and payment-financing integrations with CareCredit and Scratch Pay. Distinction in service delivery rests on a Fear-Free certified Springhill location for anxious pets, a multi-DVM group that collaborates across sites, and explicit 'locally-owned, not corporate' positioning that is reinforced by a 501(c)(3) Compassionate Care Fund maintained through the Veterinary Care Foundation.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional-service fees for veterinary medical, surgical, dental, and preventive care, with secondary recurring and transactional income from wellness packages (subscription-style prepaid bundles) and online pharmacy commissions/rebates. GTM is direct-to-consumer, driven by word-of-mouth, community events (annual Charity Dog Wash benefiting the American Cancer Society, Operation Catnip partnership), and an active social/content footprint across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Pricing is largely quote-based and not publicly disclosed; structured pricing signals are limited to pet transport (distance-based, $50+) and discount tiers for active-duty military and seniors over 65. The business is privately financed with no disclosed funding rounds, sits under the Newberry Animal Hospital Group (NAHG) corporate umbrella, and is led by owner Dr. Lance Baltzley alongside part-owner Dr. Kaylynn Gruntmeir (since October 2022).
