Veterinary practices typically sell for 5x-9x EBITDA, or 3x-6x SDE for smaller owner-operated veterinary practices, with most deals in the $1M - $8M range. These are industry-wide benchmarks, reviewed July 2026, not an appraisal of your practice.

How much is a veterinary practice in New York worth?

Veterinary practices typically sell for 5x-9x EBITDA, or 3x-6x SDE for smaller owner-operated veterinary practices, with most deals in the $1M - $8M range. Buyers tend to pay more for active client count, emergency/specialty services, multiple veterinarians and modern diagnostic equipment, and less where they see single vet dependency, limited services, rural location with thin market and aging client base. These are industry-wide ranges, not an appraisal of your practice.

Valuation multiples are DealSeam's industry benchmarks, reviewed July 2026. Establishment counts are from the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 541940). Platform ownership comes from each platform's own or press sources, verified June 29, 2026. Companies listed as already owned come from DealSeam's own research: the owner's website, the company's own website, a domain redirect, or a source found in our September 2026 ownership screen, each re-checked before publishing. Named acquisitions are the deals we have recorded from public announcements, each linked to its source; they are not every deal in the state. Ownership in this sector changes often.
