![]() Richard Morris, CEO Of the Cooperative, said, “The Veterinary Cooperative offers its members name brands at discounted prices due to their ability to approach pharmaceutical companies, equipment manufacturers, and others in the same way large corporate hospitals do. Our members understand that vendors that partner with TVC are supporting the Independent Veterinarian and are helping them to grow their business.” Although member/owners are not required to buy from our vendor partners most support the vendors that partner with TVC. The typical TVC member received a check for $1,000. “Many of our members had no idea the check was coming this soon,” said Allison Morris. Laura Betts of Parkdale Animal Hospital in Manistee Michigan was one of those members. Betts said, “It really gives the 'little guy' buying power. I order the same products in the same amounts as I always have - there are no minimums or requirements of any kind on purchases. ![]() I've been very impressed with the programs TVC has put together, but if one doesn't appeal to me I'm not required to participate - it's my choice. The management of TVC is very accessible and is really working for the members. In the last year I've seen incredible growth in the number and scope of the programs offered.” Dr. Betts was also quick to point out that not only does TVC negotiate lower prices, they also issue dividend checks. “On top of the discounts I enjoy every day I received my first rebate check - a very small practice buying what I normally would buy in the amounts I would normally buy and my rebate checks for over $800.”ĭr. Dann first met Allison Morris in December 2012 at the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association. It was there that Allison begged the question to Dr. Dann: “Do you feel your Animal Hospital can compete with corporate medicine, big-box pet stores and online pharmacies?” The answer from most veterinarians is “no.” And that is exactly why the Veterinary Cooperative began: to combine thousands of independent veterinary hospitals and clinics together to compete with corporate veterinary hospitals. After Allison explained that typical TVC members save between 5% and 50% which result in a yearly increase of profits between $10,000 and $30,000, Dr. Dann thought that it “looked like a good opportunity for my Hospital to save money.”Īs the check was being handed off to Blum Animal Hospital Dr. Dann asked CEO Morris if he know when they had first met. “It was at your house, your father was my Scout Master,” he explained to Morris.
