Cedarwood Veterinary Clinic

What Cedarwood Veterinary Clinic does

Cedarwood Veterinary Clinic is a single-location, independent small-animal veterinary practice operating in Tulsa, Oklahoma since 1969. The clinic serves pet owners in Tulsa and surrounding communities, providing general veterinary medicine, surgery, dental services, diagnostic ultrasound, an in-house full-service laboratory, and animal boarding under one roof. Its 18-person team is anchored by long-tenured veterinarians including Dr. Poteet, and the practice markets itself on professional expertise and 55+ years of community trust rather than on technology differentiation.

The clinic's underlying technology stack is conventional for an independent veterinary practice: state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment, an in-house laboratory capable of running blood panels, thyroid checks, body fluid chemistry, and chemistries with faster turnaround than external labs, and modern surgical and dental suites. It does not build proprietary software; its digital footprint consists of a website and an integrated online pharmacy via VetsFirstChoice for prescription refills. Financing is facilitated through CareCredit, and the clinic participates in the AVMF Veterinary Care Charitable Fund for community outreach.

Cedarwood operates a direct-to-consumer professional services model. Revenue is generated from in-person consultations, surgical and dental procedures, diagnostic imaging, in-house lab work, and boarding, with a smaller transaction-fee stream from the online pharmacy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; clients contact the clinic by phone or visit the physical location at 1412 S. Harvard Avenue. The clinic is a private company with no disclosed ownership structure, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no franchise or chain affiliation.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• PetVet Care Centers: PetVet Care Centers owns and operates a network of companion animal hospitals across multiple U.S. states. It is comparable to Cedarwood as a multi-site general practice operator with shared back-office, procurement, and clinical resources.
• Banfield Pet Hospital: Banfield is the largest corporate veterinary chain in the U.S., operating primarily inside PetSmart stores. It competes with Cedarwood across the same companion animal general-practice services, but at massive national scale with standardized protocols, technology platforms, and Optimum Wellness Plans.
• Heartland Veterinary Partners: Heartland Veterinary Partners acquires and operates companion animal general practices, preserving local branding while adding corporate support. It competes directly with Cedarwood for clients in shared markets and is a likely buyer-type for independent clinics.
• MedVet: MedVet is a network of veterinary specialty and emergency hospitals. While more specialty-focused, it competes for the same Tulsa-area companion animal healthcare dollars and captures emergency cases Cedarwood does not service.
• Thrive Pet Healthcare: Thrive Pet Healthcare operates a growing network of general practice, urgent care, and specialty veterinary hospitals across the U.S. Its expanded-hours urgent care model directly pressures independents like Cedarwood that lack evening/weekend coverage.
• BluePearl Specialty and Emergency Pet Hospital: BluePearl operates specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals across the U.S., competing in the higher-acuity end of the same companion animal market Cedarwood serves. Its referral relationships and 24/7 emergency model capture cases outside Cedarwood's scope.
• National Veterinary Associates (NVA): NVA is a large veterinary consolidator that owns and operates hundreds of general practice and specialty hospitals. It directly competes with Cedarwood through its owned clinics in similar markets, and represents a potential acquirer for independent practices like Cedarwood.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: VCA operates one of the largest networks of animal hospitals in North America, offering general practice, specialty, and emergency services. It is directly comparable to Cedarwood in the general-practice segment but vastly larger, with corporate procurement, diagnostics, and referral infrastructure an independent clinic cannot match.

Regional players

• Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital: Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital is an independent companion animal practice serving the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. It is directly comparable to Cedarwood as a same-city, similar-service-mix competitor competing for the same local pet-owner base.

Emerging players

• Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG): VEG operates emergency-only veterinary hospitals with an open-floor customer-immersive model. It directly competes with Cedarwood by capturing after-hours emergency cases in markets where it operates, representing both a competitor and a potential partner/referral source.
