As reported by www.farmersjournal.ie the tough working conditions, burnout and hard earned income is pushing veterinary practitioners to the brink.

The 2018 Veterinary Practice Survey Report, conducted by HLB Sheehan Quinn, showed that almost half of vets said they would be willing to sell their practice to a corporation, with exhaustion cited as reason for wanting to sell.

The Veterinary Sector has seen a significant increase in the market share of large operators like Independent Vetcare (IVC) and CVS Group Ltd. The growth of  these Corporate operators has been aided by aggressive acquisition strategies by both companies in Ireland and the UK. Struggling practitioners in a lot of cases simply cannot risk turning down the offers tabled.
