Locally led veterinary hospitals.Backed by Harmony.

Harmony is building a Canadian network of veterinary hospitals where local teams lead patient care and have opportunities to share in their hospital's success. We help with the financing, operations and administrative work that goes into running a practice.

Canadian-owned. Locally led.

Canadian-owned

A Canadian company building hospitals here at home.

Independent company

We make our own decisions, with input from experienced veterinary and healthcare leaders.

Veterinarian-led care

The veterinarians caring for patients make the medical decisions.

How can we work together?

Whether you own a practice, want to lead one or are looking for a new team, we would love to hear from you.

For Practice Owners

Thinking about retirement or stepping back? Let's talk about what comes next for your practice and your team.

For Future Practice Owners

Interested in running your own hospital? Explore co-ownership of an existing practice or a new one.

For Veterinary Teams

Build a hospital of your own, where your skills matter, your role is clear and there is room to grow.

For Pet Owners

Learn what we want every visit to feel like for you and your pet.

You built your practice. We want to help you protect what makes it special.

When you are ready to step back, we can help you explore a transition that considers your patients, your team and your plans for the future.

Keep the name people know

Our approach starts with preserving the hospital's identity and keeping medical decisions with its veterinarians.

Help with the business side

We are bringing together support for payroll, hiring, purchasing and the administrative work that takes time away from the team.

Help for the next generation

We want to help associates and hospital leaders learn the business and grow into ownership when the fit is right.

Support without losing what makes your hospital yours.

Running a veterinary hospital means more than treating patients. There are staff to support, bills to pay and decisions that cannot wait. Those responsibilities also matter when it is time to think about succession.

We bring business support and potential co-ownership together, while the veterinarians at each hospital remain responsible for patient care.

What we believe makes a good hospital.

Our approach starts with three commitments.

Local leadership

Veterinarians make clinical decisions. Hospital directors lead day-to-day operations.

Clear finances

Hospital leaders should understand how their hospital is performing and have a say in the decisions that affect it.

A hospital that still feels local

We want each hospital to keep the identity and community relationships it has worked hard to build.

Want to own a practice? You do not have to do it alone.

If you want to lead a hospital, we would like to hear from you. Harmony can explore the capital, mentorship and operational support to help you become a co-owner. Every arrangement depends on the hospital and the people involved.
