Neighborhood Veterinary Centers (NVC)

What Neighborhood Veterinary Centers (NVC) does

Neighborhood Veterinary Centers (NVC) is a privately held, founder-owned veterinary clinic network operating 14+ locations across Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana, anchored by a 16,000 square foot flagship surgical and care facility in Nederland, TX opened in December 2021. The company delivers companion animal healthcare spanning wellness exams, internal medicine, dentistry, dermatology, on-site diagnostics (bloodwork, digital X-ray, urinalysis), and surgical services including soft-tissue, orthopedic, and neurosurgery, supplemented by advanced capabilities uncommon to general practices — CT imaging, underwater treadmill rehabilitation, laser therapy, and 24/7 emergency care at the Nederland hub. NVC extends access through mobile veterinary truck visits, an online pharmacy with home delivery, medical boarding, and end-of-life aftercare, and also serves niche segments including reptiles at South Post Oak and Lake Charles locations.

The business generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service clinical care, in-clinic and online pharmacy dispensing, and bundled Wellness Plans on a subscription cadence. Customer acquisition is community-led: walk-in availability across neighborhood sites, local SEO and blog content, organic Facebook and Instagram presence, SMS appointment communications, and a charitable NVC Cares program in partnership with the Veterinary Care Foundation (501(c)(3)) reinforce grassroots loyalty. A 'Sell Your Practice' acquisition program and a referral pipeline from peer clinics (e.g., Gulfgate Animal Hospital for orthopedics) add a B2B layer to a predominantly DTC model. Leadership is family-controlled, with Shay Hanson as CEO, founder Dr. Brady Hanson as Chief Veterinary Officer, and Mark Hanson as CFO, supported by Medical Director Dr. Blake Foskey and Emergency Medical Director Dr. Kenneth Head.
