About
VetEvolve is a network of veterinary practices built to support the people delivering care and the practices they lead. Founded in 2014 by military veterans Paul Habenicht and Nick Lodestro, the company was born from a desire to create an organization with strong core values, mission focus, and team-based culture - similar to what they experienced serving together in the Marine Corps. VetEvolve operates across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions, partnering with independent veterinary practices while providing them with the operational support, industry expertise, and resources they need to thrive. The company takes a people-first approach to veterinary practice acquisition and partnership, focusing on preserving each practice's unique identity while offering scalable support. Their core values - Serve, Evolve, and Trust - guide how they work with practice owners, veterinarians, technicians, and support staff. VetEvolve has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for sustained growth three years in a row, reflecting their commitment to thoughtful, responsible expansion that prioritizes care over rapid consolidation. Whether supporting practice owners seeking succession planning or veterinarians looking for mentorship and career growth, VetEvolve aims to make every team member Happy Here.
