Vet Center / Chains
Veterinary chains, by location
Several companies run practices in dozens of states under one name, and a search for the name reaches whichever branch a search engine happens to pick. These pages list every location we hold for each one, by state, with the address and phone number, and say which format a location is where the two differ.
Vetco
1515 locations · 48 states · 1073 cities
Vetco is Petco's veterinary brand. It trades under two quite different formats, and the practice name is what tells them apart.
Banfield Pet Hospital
994 locations · 43 states · 718 cities
Banfield runs full-service pet hospitals, most of them inside PetSmart stores, and sells a wellness plan that covers routine care on a monthly payment.

What a chain listing here is
The same as any other listing. These practices were compiled from public records and their own websites, we have no commercial relationship with any of the companies named, and nothing on these pages is an endorsement. PawsRx is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them, and their names and trademarks belong to their owners.
The thing worth knowing when comparing a chain against an independent practice is not who owns it. It is which practices treat your species, when they are actually open, and whether they can see you. The directory answers all three.
