Small Animal Veterinary Hospital for Sale in Kern County, California

Discover a unique opportunity to own a well-established veterinary hospital nestled in a captivating town surrounded by the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains and positioned along the scenic banks of the Kern River. This haven for outdoor enthusiasts offers a diverse array of activities, from whitewater rafting to fly fishing. The town’s charm extends to land-based adventures, including mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, and camping.

The practice is located near the heart of downtown and has been a community staple for over two decades. It boasts an excellent reputation and a diverse clientele that exceeds a 100-mile radius. The seller is planning for retirement and seeks a new owner to take over the turnkey practice, offering the opportunity to continue its legacy in a community with minimal veterinary competition.

The practice operates with a solo DVM working five days per week, which allows for a high quality of life with weekends off. Currently, the practice produces over $1.13 million in gross income. The hospital practices high-quality medicine with compassion, fostering a familial atmosphere for the staff and clients, who both exhibit unwavering loyalty. The schedule is booked solid through the next four months, and the potential to double the gross income is evident if a second DVM were to join the team.

Situated on approximately 1/8 of an acre, the practice occupies a well-maintained facility with prime street visibility and plenty of parking. The facility spans over 3,000 SF and includes two exam rooms, a fully equipped surgery suite, a treatment room, and much more. The practice also utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, including a InnoVet digital X-ray system, isoflurane anesthetic machines, and fully comprehensive on-site IDEXX lab equipment, just to name a few!

This sale presents an ideal chance to embrace a peaceful and nature-centric lifestyle in the heart of California’s stunning landscapes while growing a practice with a solid foundation.
