Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital

What Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital does

Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital operates as a subsidiary of National Veterinary Associates (NVA), a large veterinary consolidator headquartered in Westlake Village, California, which provides corporate backing, operational infrastructure, and access to vendor partnerships. The hospital's revenue model combines professional service fees (examinations, procedures, surgery) with retail and prescription product sales, including an online pharmacy channel operated through Vet's First Choice. To extend client reach and reduce financial friction, the practice integrates third-party partners including PetOne (mobile client engagement), Scratchpay (patient financing), and ADASC (accessibility services), and runs consumer-facing promotions such as a $25 first-visit discount and a $25 referral credit.

Emerging players

• PetIQ: PetIQ provides veterinary wellness services, preventive care, and pet product retail (including VetIQ clinics inside retail stores). It is comparable as an adjacent companion animal care and product distribution model that competes for low-acuity visits and pharmacy/OTC sales.

Direct peers

• Mission Veterinary Partners: Mission Veterinary Partners is a veterinary hospital group operating companion animal clinics across the U.S. It is directly comparable to Southern Hills in operating model (locally branded GP hospitals under a consolidator) and in target service mix (wellness, dentistry, surgery).
• VetCor: VetCor is a network of community-based companion animal veterinary hospitals across the U.S. It mirrors Southern Hills' positioning as a friendly, locally branded GP practice, but at considerably larger multi-state scale.
• PetVet Care Centers: PetVet Care Centers is a growing network of companion animal general-practice and specialty veterinary hospitals. Like Southern Hills, its model is locally branded clinics supported by a corporate platform, making it a directly comparable consolidator peer.
• Thrive Pet Healthcare: Thrive Pet Healthcare is a veterinary services consolidator operating general-practice, urgent-care, and specialty clinics across the U.S. It is directly comparable to Southern Hills as a multi-clinic companion animal provider that combines locally branded hospitals with central infrastructure.
• Heartland Veterinary Partners: Heartland Veterinary Partners acquires and operates companion animal general-practice hospitals, sharing Southern Hills' consolidator-owned, locally branded clinic model. It competes for both patients and acquisition targets.

Broad incumbents

• BluePearl Pet Hospital: BluePearl is a national network of emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals (Mars Petcare). It overlaps with Southern Hills in imaging and surgical capability but operates at the specialist/ER level rather than primary care.
• Banfield Pet Hospital: Banfield is the largest network of companion animal general-practice veterinary clinics in the U.S., co-located inside PetSmart stores (Mars Petcare). It competes with Southern Hills on wellness, vaccinations, dentistry, and surgical services for dogs and cats, but at national scale.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: VCA is one of the largest U.S. general-practice and specialty veterinary hospital networks (Mars Petcare). It directly competes with Southern Hills as a multi-site companion animal care provider while operating at far greater scale and with broader specialty capability.

Others

• National Veterinary Associates (NVA): NVA is the parent company of Southern Hills and a large U.S. veterinary hospital consolidator. It is comparable as the broader platform owner whose portfolio economics and capital allocation decisions shape Southern Hills' trajectory.
