Arista Advanced Pet Care

What Arista Advanced Pet Care does

Arista Advanced Pet Care is a U.S. multispecialty referral and 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital group founded in 2024 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company operates de novo hospitals staffed by board-certified specialists and experienced emergency clinicians, with current locations in Atlanta (opened April 2025), Dallas (opened October 2025), and Jacksonville (planned July 2026). Service lines include Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Oncology, Cardiology, Radiology/Advanced Imaging (CT, fluoroscopy, ultrasound), and I-131 radioactive iodine therapy for feline hyperthyroidism.

The company is built on a shared ownership model under parent Affinity Veterinary Partners, in which veterinary specialists and emergency clinicians receive meaningful equity stakes and operate without associate non-competes. A core operational layer is the Care Navigation program, a proprietary technology platform that assigns a coordinator to each referred pet owner to manage scheduling, medical record transfer, and communication across primary care veterinarians, specialists, and emergency doctors. Supporting services include an online pharmacy (Our Vet integration) and patient financing partnerships with CareCredit, Cherry, and Pawlicy Advisor.

Arista makes money by delivering specialty and emergency veterinary services on a fee-for-service, pay-at-time-of-service basis, with deposits required for procedures and hospital stays. Its go-to-market is hybrid: B2B referrals from primary care veterinarians (the primary demand channel, managed through the Care Navigation team) combined with B2C direct access for self-referred pet owners and 24/7 emergency walk-ins. Pricing is published for routine items (e.g., $225 new patient consult, $550 abdominal ultrasound), while complex procedures are estimated individually and can range into the thousands.

• Pathway Vet Alliance: Veterinary hospital group combining general practice, specialty, and emergency care across many U.S. markets. Comparable as a scaled, multi-specialty incumbent competing in similar metros.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Part of Mars Veterinary Health, VCA is one of the largest U.S. veterinary hospital operators offering primary, specialty, and emergency care. Represents the consolidated-corporate incumbent that Arista's shared-ownership model is explicitly differentiated against.
