Co-Owner Veterinarian

Owner Opportunity

Tuckahoe, New York

Become a Practice Owner

We’re seeking an experienced DVM aspiring to become a practice owner. Tuckahoe Animal Hospital & Pet Center is looking for the right veterinarian to step into a partnership role with the opportunity to grow into co-ownership alongside Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP).

This role offers the chance to step into leadership, build ownership, and help shape what comes next for a well-established hospital serving Westchester County since 1997. As a Partner DVM, you will help guide the practice’s direction, support the team, and play a meaningful role in its long-term success.

You will not just practice in the hospital.

You will help shape it and share in its success.

About the Hospital

Tuckahoe Animal Hospital & Pet Center is a full-service small animal practice providing individualized medical, surgical, and dental care for cats and dogs at 20 Depot Square in Tuckahoe, New York.

The hospital offers wellness and preventive care, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, nutrition, boarding, and grooming. Board-certified specialists in orthopedics, internal medicine, cardiology, and radiology are available on-site for advanced cases.

The practice features in-house diagnostics through IDEXX and Abaxis, in-house ultrasound, digital radiography, a clean and efficient layout, and cloud-based ezyVet software. The collaborative team includes 2 DVMs, 1 LVT, 1 client care manager, 3 veterinary assistants, and 3 receptionists, providing a 3:1 staff-to-doctor ratio.

The hospital also shares their entrance with a daycare and grooming facility located downstairs from the hospital. This naturally aligns the hospital as the go-to for many drop-off appointments, boarding care and new patients that prefer a one stop approach to their pets daycare and health visits.

There is already a strong foundation in place. It is now ready for the right person to step into leadership and help take it forward.
