• DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital: Non-profit 24-hour emergency and ICU veterinary hospital in Portland, Oregon; comparable in service scope (ER + ICU + specialty procedures) and community-embedded positioning.
• MedVet: U.S.-based specialty and emergency veterinary hospital network offering 24-hour ICU, surgery, and critical care — the same service architecture Vet Support delivers, making it a strong operational comp.

Broad incumbents

• NVA Compassion-First (Ethos Veterinary Health): Network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals across the U.S.; relevant as a benchmark for the scaled specialty/emergency vet chain that Vet Support could aspire to grow into.

Emerging players

• Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG): U.S. emergency-only veterinary chain focused on 24/7 emergency and critical care with strong customer-experience branding; mirrors Vet Support's customer-experience and 24/7 positioning.

Regional players
