By Author: Melani Seymour / August 18, 2026 / Comments Off on Competing With Corporate Groups for Veterinary Hires in 2026

Key takeaways Make the real job easy to inspect: show the schedule, introduce the support team, explain decision paths, and let another doctor describe how the practice actually runs. Compensation must be competitive and affordable: dated salary figures provide context, not a national floor or a prescribed offer for one companion-animal practice. Schedule integrity beats…

I want to answer this one honestly, including the part where the answer is “not us.” For a lot of dental practices, a broker is the right call.

How Many Times Revenue Does a Veterinary Practice Sell For in 2026?

Key takeaways No fixed revenue rule works: a veterinary practice does not reliably sell for 1× revenue or any preset percentage in 2026. Revenue multiple is an output: enterprise value divided by annual revenue summarizes a result after the valuation work is done. Normalized earnings come first: buyers apply an EBITDA multiple only after testing…
