Our doctor partners don’t sell their practices — they co-own them with VPP. By offering a true partnership model, VPP enables veterinarians to retain clinical autonomy and brand identity while gaining the operational and strategic support to reach their potential. VPP is also committed to the success of veterinarians by offering multiple pathways to partnership through tailored co-ownership opportunities.
Dr. Nonie Reger’s path to ownership didn’t start with a business plan. It started as an associate. When the opportunity came to buy in as a co-owner alongside the doctors already in the partnership, she took it.
After being hit by a car on his bike, Dr. Green realized there was no reason to wait on anything he wanted to do. He opened his dream practice less than a year later.

Since opening Dogwood Trails Animal Hospital, Dr. O’Keefe has enjoyed full ownership and autonomy over her brand, her culture, and her vision, with the back-end support to make it work.
Dr. Webster has been a VPP partner since 2020: “Having these other business professionals come in and help me, it really is a game changer.” That’s what partnership is supposed to do. Free veterinarians to focus on medicine, and life.
A few months into partnership and the feeling hasn’t faded. “There was so much connection and so much collaboration. The vibe in the room was just all positive.”
