Case Veterinary Hospital vs. Corporate Veterinary Care: What’s the Difference?

A corporate group can buy a veterinary practice. It can’t buy 1909.

Case Veterinary Hospital has cared for Savannah’s pets for more than a century — through four generations of the same family. Dr. Case McCorvey carries on a tradition started by her great-grandfather, the first degreed veterinarian in Savannah, and continued by her grandfather and father. Across the country, neighborhood vets are being quietly bought up by corporate chains and outside investors. We’re not one of them!

Case vs. Corporate Veterinary Care: What’s the Difference?

Not all veterinary care is the same. Here’s where Case stands apart:

✔ Owned by the Case family — not investors. Four generations of Savannah veterinarians since 1909. The name on the door is the name that guides the standards of our care.

✔ Familiar faces who know your pet. You see the same team that knows your pet’s full history — not a rotating cast of doctors who meet your dog for the first time at every visit.

✔ Decisions made in the exam room. We recommend what your pet actually needs. There’s no corporate quota, no upsell target set in a boardroom three states away.

✔ Standards you can verify. AAHA-accredited since 1982 — a bar fewer than 15% of animal hospitals meet — and practicing Silver Low Stress Handling Certified, so visits are calmer for your pet. (add in: becoming)

✔ Here for the next generation, not the next sale. Corporate-owned practices are built to be resold. We’re independently owned, we’re not for sale, and we’ll be here as your puppy or kitten grows.

Great Care Shouldn’t Mean Corporate Markups

Veterinary costs are climbing nationwide — and corporate ownership, with its margins and targets, is part of why. Our approach is prevention-first: routine wellness exams, early detection, and honest guidance that helps you avoid the far costlier emergencies down the road. When you pay for your pet’s care, that’s exactly what you’re getting—no hidden corporate markups, just honest veterinary medicine.
