Points East Veterinary Group

What Points East Veterinary Group does

Points East Veterinary Group is a privately held operator of emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals based in Eastern North Carolina, affiliated with the Vets Pets corporate entity. The group operates three active hospitals in Greenville (emergency), Wilson (emergency plus specialty and critical care), and Fayetteville (emergency), with a fourth specialty hospital in Wilmington scheduled to open in Fall 2026. Service lines include 24/7 emergency triage and surgery, boarded specialty surgery (including TPLO, IVDD/disc herniation, and lung lobectomy), internal medicine, boarded critical care, and advanced diagnostic imaging (ultrasound and CT) available to both in-hospital and outpatient referred patients.

The group's go-to-market is referral-based and community-led, drawing cases from a network of more than 200 general practice veterinary hospitals across the region, supplemented by direct walk-ins and scheduled appointments from pet parents. The Wilson facility holds Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (VECCS) Level III certification, signaling adherence to advanced emergency and critical care standards. Marketing is conducted through social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), a content/knowledge center on the company website, and the formal veterinarian referral channel.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service emergency visits, professional services fees for specialty consultations and surgical procedures, and transaction fees for diagnostic imaging. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact the hospitals directly, and the company offers flexible payment options. Customer segments are split between pet owners seeking urgent or specialty care and referring general practice veterinarians seeking advanced specialist support, imaging capacity, and after-hours coverage. No revenue, headcount, funding, or transaction-volume figures are disclosed in the available material.
