The merger brings together two entities with distinct but complementary models. Small Door Veterinary contributes its membership-based, AAHA-accredited approach, known for its emphasis on primary care and 24/7 digital connectivity. Bond Vet adds its established footprint, built on a reputation for accessible, comprehensive services ranging from urgent care to specialized surgery. The combined entity will employ more than 1,000 staff members, including over 170 veterinarians.

Florent Peyre, co-founder and CEO of Small Door, will assume the role of CEO for the new organization to oversee its long-term growth strategy. Joe Altobelli, formerly President and CFO of Bond Vet, will move into the role of Executive Strategic Advisor. On the clinical front, Dr. Jamie Richardson, Chief Medical Officer at Small Door, will manage medical standards across all locations to ensure consistency in care.

For pet owners, the immediate impact remains minimal. Both brands will continue to operate under their existing names and maintain their current care teams at all locations. The company plans to transition toward a unified service experience gradually, with future updates provided as the integration progresses. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
