Sound Equine

What Sound Equine does

Sound Equine Veterinary Hospital is a private, full-service equine and farm animal veterinary hospital founded in 2005 and headquartered in Poulsbo, Washington. It operates as the only full-service equine hospital in Western Puget Sound, serving horse owners and small-livestock owners across the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas, and additionally accepts referrals from surrounding veterinarians for advanced equine services including surgery, internal medicine, hospitalization, and diagnostics. The hospital is a member of the PetVet Care Centers national network, which comprises over 420 locally-led veterinary hospitals and more than 11,000 team members across the United States.

The practice offers a comprehensive service portfolio spanning primary care (field/ambulatory services, wellness and vaccinations, dentistry, pre-purchase exams, travel certificates), specialty services (equine surgery, internal medicine, regenerative medicine, breeding and reproduction), 24/7 emergency care, and farm animal care for sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, pigs, and cattle. Its clinical capability is anchored by board-certified large animal surgeons (Dr. Mackenzie Adams, Dr. Comi Youngblood) and a residency-trained large animal internal medicine specialist (Dr. Charlie Fahy), supported by a team of associate veterinarians and a hospital manager. Diagnostic infrastructure includes digital radiography, digital ultrasound (including FLASH protocol for colic), video endoscopy, and an in-house laboratory with portable field testing for Serum Amyloid A, lactate, glucose, blood gas, and IgG.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional veterinary services billed at time of service on a quote-based pay-as-you-go model, supplemented by an on-site pharmacy, an online pharmacy operated via Covetrus (with AutoShip for recurring medications), and financing partnerships with CareCredit and Scratchpay. Go-to-market is sales-led direct-to-consumer for primary care clients and channel-partner-led via DVM referrals for specialty services. Marketing channels are limited to organic social (Facebook, Instagram), Google Business listing, educational content, and the PetVet Care Centers network referral pathway. The practice also runs internship and externship programs for veterinary students, established since opening in 2005.

Broad incumbents

• Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital: Major equine referral hospital group with multiple locations across the U.S. Offers the same core services as Sound Equine (surgery, internal medicine, reproduction, emergency) but at much larger scale and national footprint.
• Hagyard Equine Medical Institute: One of the oldest and largest equine veterinary practices in North America, based in Lexington, KY. Comparable service portfolio (surgery, internal medicine, reproduction, ambulatory) but operates at national scale far beyond Sound Equine's regional footprint.

Others
