For independent practices · The Vetreve Report

About 15,000 corporate ads are aimed at your clients. Give them a reason to stay that an ad can't beat.

That's the number of corporate first-exam ads live when we counted. We score how your practice is found, booked, reviewed and kept, fix what's missing, and build the membership only you can offer. Book a discovery call with Brian and your report is built before the call. It's yours to keep either way.

Your Vetreve Report is built before the call. No purchase required.

01 · The Report

Straight facts. Where you stand against every practice in your radius.

Before the call, we research your practice, your competitors, your listings and your website, and score it on the same hundred points as every other practice: found, booked, reviewed, kept. You see the gaps, the competitors by name, and what to fix first. No purchase required.

Found

Whether Google and AI assistants put your name in front of a new client searching nearby.

25 points

Booked

How many steps stand between a client on your website and a confirmed appointment.

25 points

Reviewed

Rating, volume, how recent, and whether you answer.

25 points

Kept

Whether a client who came once has a reason to stay: a membership they can join, that covers every pet and carries over.

The top band. Compounding.

The highest score we've audited.

A corporate hospital, and the only one of 170 practices to reach the Compounding band. The best independent scored 67.

You see exactly where you stand before we ever speak.

02 · The Fix

Found in your own city. Booked without a phone call. Kept by a membership only you can offer.

The report shows what's missing. We fix it, in the order that moves your score, and the membership is the part nobody else can copy.

Found.

When an owner near you asks Google or an AI assistant for a vet, your name is the answer, and your own site is the source.

Booked.

A visit request that takes a minute on a phone, not a form that goes to voicemail.

Kept.

A reason to stay that a corporate first-exam ad can't beat.

The membership

Recurring revenue you own, and they can't.

Your client base stops leaking when members have a reason to return on a schedule. The revenue is yours, under your name, at your prices. It is the one thing a consolidator can't advertise against.

New practices onboarded since 2020

We stopped onboarding new practices in 2020. The memberships are still being bought in 2026.

Across the independent practices on Rethink, members spent about $1,760 each at their practice in 2025. That is our own data, not an industry benchmark.

Recently signed on Vetreve: a Texas animal hospital, a Southern California animal hospital and an Arizona animal hospital.

Corporate groups don't run a playbook this long unless it works. It does, and they love it. Independents can't copy it. The answer was never to copy it. It was to build a better one.

Real ads, captured from Meta's public Ad Library on October 21, 2026. Left to right: VCA Animal Hospitals (running since July 24, 2026), Banfield Pet Hospital (49 ads on this one creative since September 9), and Petco's Vetco Total Care (since October 9). About 15,000 corporate first-exam ads were active in the US when we counted in July 2026.

A free exam doesn't move a client whose membership already includes one. They can run that ad all day.

03 · The Compounding

Measured again. On the same hundred points.

After the fix, your practice is re-scored every quarter on the same hundred points, so the before and the after are the same measurement. The score keeps moving because the work keeps going: new clients found, booked and kept, members renewing, and your own offer working harder than a first-exam ad. Leaking, then Competitive, then Compounding at 76 and up.

You watch the number climb, and your own offer works harder than theirs.

04 · A note from the founder

The report usually finds the part left undone: a practice the AI assistants don't name, no booking link on its Google profile, and no reason for a client to stay.

Vetreve is built for independently owned practices and the owners who run them. That is the whole point of the work.

I have been building membership programs for veterinary practices since 2011.

I would like to show you what one would look like at yours.
