A Local Tool for Pet Owners Who Want Clarity.
After we shared our article “Who Owns Your Favourite Veterinary Clinic?”, the response was overwhelming. Pet owners across the region reached out with the same question:
“Is there a way to find out if my vet clinic is independent or corporate-owned?”
Now, there is.
We’re proud to announce the launch of BVPClinic.com; a simple, searchable website that helps pet owners across Calgary and the surrounding area check who owns their veterinary clinic.
It’s a local tool, created by us at Barrett Veterinary Practice, to bring clarity, not criticism, to the changing landscape of veterinary care.
On BVPClinic.com, you can:
- Search clinics by name, city, or postal code
- See whether a clinic is independent or corporate-owned
- Submit corrections or suggest new listings
- Help others make more informed, transparent decisions
This isn’t about pointing fingers—it’s about openness. Ownership can affect care, pricing, and continuity, and we believe pet families deserve to know who’s behind the front desk.
Why It Matters
As more veterinary clinics across Canada are quietly acquired by corporate groups, it’s become harder for pet owners to tell who’s who. A familiar logo or name doesn’t always mean the clinic is still local.
That’s where BVPClinic.com comes in. It’s designed to bring transparency to the ownership of clinics in our community, without judgment, just facts.
Knowing whether your clinic is independent or corporate-owned can help you:
- Understand pricing and care structure
- Support local, family-run practices if you choose
- Ask informed questions about who’s making medical decisions for your pet
Let’s Build This Together
Right now, BVPClinic.com covers the Greater Calgary Region, but we’d love your help expanding it.
- Know of a clinic we missed?
- Notice something out of date?
You can submit edits or new clinics directly on the site, and our team will review and update listings regularly.
This is a community-powered project; we want to keep it growing with your help.
Built by a Local Clinic That Cares
At Barrett Veterinary Practice, we’re fiercely proud to be independently owned and operated. We built this tool not just for our clients, but for all pet lovers in our region who care about clarity, choice, and compassionate care.
Whether you stick with your current vet or choose to explore others, you deserve to know who’s behind the exam room door.
Check it out at BVPClinic.com.
Share it with your fellow pet people, and let’s keep pet care local, transparent, and focused on what matters most—our fuzzy families.
Hello, I do not see my dogs clinic on the list. Although I’m certain it’s independent, I’d like to see Elizabeth Street Veterinary (in Okotoks) on the list if possible.
Thank you Melissa, we’ll get that added today!
