Partner Veterinary

What Partner Veterinary does

Partner Veterinary operates two emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals — one in Frederick, MD (7330 Guilford Drive) and one in Henrico, VA (1616 Three Chopt Road) — providing 24/7 emergency care plus urgent care and a full suite of specialty services including internal medicine, oncology, neurology, surgery, cardiology, and critical care. The clinical technology stack is anchored by advanced imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound, endoscopy), interventional procedures (endourology, interventional radiology, GI endoscopy), and high-flow nasal oxygen therapy; cardiology is staffed through a traveling partnership with CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets, and certain surgical services have historically been provided via James River Veterinary Surgery. Critical care is concentrated at the Richmond site. Specialty services are delivered by board-certified clinicians and accept referrals from primary care veterinarians as well as direct walk-ins.

Operationally, the company runs on CoVet AI for ambient medical documentation — recording and transcribing exam-room and phone audio into visit summaries and discharge instructions, with clinical decisions remaining entirely with licensed veterinarians. Administrative and clinical workflows are supported by a regional ecosystem including RACE-approved continuing education, a formal primary-care referral program, a "Did You Know?" podcast, and an educational blog. Patient financing is handled via CareCredit, Scratchpay, and Trupanion (with direct pay), and a free online pre-registration service is offered to expedite emergency check-in.

The business model is professional services revenue per case across three streams: emergency (24/7 walk-in triage), urgent care (drop-off non-life-threatening cases), and scheduled specialty consultations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; deposits are required at admission, and pet insurance/financing partners absorb a portion of patient cost. The target customer is bifurcated: end-consumer pet owners in the Frederick and Richmond catchments, and B2B referral partners (general-practice veterinarians) in surrounding regions. Founded in 2023 by Katie Brooks (CEO, LVT, CVPM) and Emma Kate Evans (Clinical Quality and Training Officer, DVM, DACVECC), Partner is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external investors and operates with 11–50 employees.
