Planning for the Future: Succession Strategies for Veterinary Practices

Veterinary practice owners face a unique challenge when planning for the future. Succession isn’t just about exiting the business—it’s about ensuring continuity of care for patients, preserving staff relationships, and protecting the reputation you’ve worked so hard to build.

In the Spring 2025 issue of Keystone Veterinarian, Tucker Arensberg shareholder Ashley Wagner outlines practical strategies for veterinary business succession planning. The article explores key considerations including:

Internal Transitions: Preparing staff to take on leadership roles and maintain continuity.
External Sales & Mergers: Evaluating potential buyers, partners, or mergers to secure the practice’s future.
Financial and Legal Planning: Addressing critical agreements, valuations, and legal safeguards to ensure a smooth transition.

Whether retirement is five years away or just around the corner, proactive planning is essential to protect your practice, your employees, and the clients who trust you.
