Center for Veterinary Care, P.C.

What Center for Veterinary Care, P.C. does

Center for Veterinary Care, P.C. is a private small animal veterinary practice founded in 1989, operating a single clinic at 236 East 75th Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The firm operates as a partner clinic within the Thrive Pet Healthcare network and serves dog and cat owners in the New York City area, providing primary care services (wellness exams, vaccinations, heartworm and flea/tick prevention, sick-illness visits, dental care, spay/neuter, diagnostic testing, grooming, bathing, and nail trims) alongside specialty services in small animal surgery, including soft tissue surgery and advanced orthopedics such as TPLO and CrCL repair. Diagnostic capability on-site spans laboratory testing and imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound), with access to specialty and emergency care through network referrals.

The clinic differentiates on clinical specialization (surgery, particularly orthopedics), patient-experience positioning (Fear Free Certified Professional practices), and regulatory credentials (USDA National Veterinary Accreditation), and it operates within the Thrive Pet Healthcare ecosystem — using the network's website, mobile app, Pet Portal, and Thrive Plus membership program for marketing, scheduling, and client retention, with CareCredit accepted for client financing.

The revenue model is professional services delivered directly to consumers on an appointment and walk-in basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customer relationships are highly fragmented across individual pet owners. The practice is a New York professional corporation, with no disclosed institutional ownership, funding history, M&A activity, or public financial reporting.
