PROSPECT IN LAUNCESTON, TASMANIA - SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE FOR SALE
TASMANIA — LAUNCESTON — Small Animal Practice for Sale
Olde Tudor Veterinary Hospital is a small-animal practice in the northern Tasmanian city of Launceston with tremendous potential for growth.
PRACTICE
- The clinic opened in 1993 in a nearby rented shop, before relocating to the current converted premises in 1996.
- Always operated by a sole veterinary surgeon, a practice manager (vet’s spouse) and a part-time nurse.

- Minimal after-hours work. It’s a very comfortable and relaxed practice to work in.
- The practice has a new X-ray machine and the usual anaesthetic and surgical equipment.
- The work ethos has been based on creating friendly and caring relationships with clients and their pets.
LOCATION
- With a population of 87,000 Launceston sits in central north Tasmania; the second largest city in the state. It has a lovely old centre and many rejuvenated industrial zones, the suburbs continue to expand, notably in our area.
- The practice sits in the relatively modern suburb of Prospect that spreads across a hill immediately to the south-west of the city centre. It is the only vet practice in this area.
- Launceston is beautifully positioned to enjoy most regions of the state: only 30 minutes to the north coast via the lovely vineyard-laced Tamar valley, 1 hour to the north-west coast, 1 1/2 hours to the scenic east coast, 1 hour to the central highlands and 2 hours south to Hobart. Stunning wilderness areas abound further west and south.
- For those who appreciate the natural environment and outdoor activities, it is paradise. For those who love historical architecture and visiting small towns, it is fascinating. Less than 1 hour’s flight to Melbourne.

VIC - Gippsland
COWES VETERINARY SURGERY
Our practice is in the main street of Cowes on Phillip Island, just on the edge of the shopping centre and next to a small supermarket with plenty of parking.
I started the practice from scratch in 1982 and we have been in the current site for about 30 years. About five years ago we did a major extension. We have two consulting rooms, a large area for dentals / lab work / X-rays and a surgical theatre. Equipment includes dental machine, digital xray, Idexx machine, monitoring equipment, oxygen generator, 5 computers connected to the CHS Vet program and a new autoclave.
Please click here to see photos!
It is 99.9% small animals - there may be scope to increase the large animal work and to expand the practice in other areas.
A valuation from ValuVet is available, which demonstrates a healthy financial background and profit margins and a strong forecast. The practice has been growing steadily but in the last two years its growth has been quite rapid.
Over the last few years I have cut back on my hours and for over a year have been mainly just doing Saturdays and helping out as needed, plus after hours but the practice has been growing and operating well without me being there much.
There are four vets in the practice apart from me. Since the start of 2020 we have gone from having one vet on at a time to two Monday - Friday and one on Saturday.
We have at least three nurses on each day, two on Saturday. There are three who do most of the hours and three others who do 1-2 days a week.
Our staff are a great crew, very competent and friendly.
I plan to sell just the practice and keep the land and building and rent it out but would consider selling that as well. The rental value was calculated at about $900 per week and I would be agreeable to a long lease. There may be parties interested in partnership.
Phillip Island is a beautiful place to live, with great community spirit, fine schools and good commercial and recreational facilities. The population of the area has been growing steadily as well and is predicted to continue to grow. The island is a popular tourist destination, with great swimming and surf beaches and its reknowned wildlife. It is busy over the summer school holidays but is otherwise a nice relaxed environment. While it is just ninety minutes from Melbourne, it is nicely removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

CENTRAL & SOUTH WESTERN QLD - PRACTICE FOR SALE/PARTNERSHIP/PROFIT SHARE
Well Established Mixed Animal Practice - Profit Sharing Base Senior Vet/Partnership Opportunity/For Sale
A very well established and profitable mixed veterinary business servicing a large region of Central/South-Western Queensland is available for purchase. The business annual income has grown at a constant rate for the previous 4 financial years. The business is only for sale due to changes in owner’s personal direction and required relocation.
This business is a 2.5-3 vet practice, but the scope for expansion is definitely possible. The clinic currently has a very solid and loyal client base across a 5-600km region, and the continued expansion of satellite clinics on a weekly basis to several surrounding towns is growing the caseload on a rapid path. The business has one 3 vet clinic established as the base and operates out of 3 leased satellite clinics and supplies station/property services around these outlying towns on a regular basis.
The caseload is of a true rural mixed practice; all small companion animal medical and surgical work, station and pleasure equine work, and production animal (extensive beef cattle and sheep) are in high demand. Two clinic vehicles would be available to service the out-of-town clients.
The clinic has been recently renovated to include two consultation rooms, a dedicated surgery, hospital ward, wet prep room, and staff office facilities along with a large storage space. There is a two-bedroom flat adjoining the clinic which is suitable for new staff or locum accommodation. There is digital X-ray, a new IDEXX diagnostic suite, BCF ultrasound (2 x Easi-scan machines), VBBSE equipment, 2 x equine/small animal ultrasounds, a portable horse crush on solid trailer for outside dental/repro work and a large amount of both small and large animal surgical equipment available.
The clinic also provides equine work out of a dedicated stable facility detached from the clinic building, with 8 undercover stables, 10 large day yards, room with power, water, air-conditioning and an undercover horse crush facility.
The clinic building/land/stable facilities would be available for separate purchase or lease arrangement if desired.
The current owner would be happy to discuss with interested parties to stay on in some employment capacity to allow a smooth transition if required.
The current owner is also happy to discuss the method of purchase, i.e., outright purchase of business +/- buildings and land, a partnership opportunity or a profit-share based senior vet position that can lead into handover.
The business price is negotiable and will be very reasonably priced to allow a smoother transition and more inviting business prospect for a potential purchaser. The owner is also willing to discuss some vendor finance, or vendor guarantor for purchase.

FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES
Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life?
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle?
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?
The location:
The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains. The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees.
The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond. A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.
The real estate:
The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 3600 sq ft home built in 1994. A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land. The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.
Please click here to see photos!
The practice:
Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south. The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area. The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms. Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use. Grooming and boarding facilities are present. The clientele is loyal and appreciative. Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border. Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed. Annual gross revenue is in the $600,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.
The opportunity:
The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance. It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair. The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV’ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.
