How to Grow Your Veterinary Practice This Summer | June Insights for Vetrepreneurs
Published Date
As summer begins, many veterinary practices across the United States experience a shift in client needs and seasonal demands. June isn’t just the start of vacation season for pet owners—it’s also the perfect opportunity for veterinary entrepreneurs to refresh their strategy and focus on sustainable growth. At Vetripreneur, we’re dedicated to helping veterinary professionals build businesses that serve both their clients and their personal goals.
Here are five focused strategies to help you grow your veterinary practice this June and beyond:
- Embrace the Season: Promote Preventive Care and Summer Services
The warmer months often bring a surge in preventable issues like flea infestations, ticks, heatstroke, and travel-related stress in pets. Use this time to promote seasonal wellness visits, parasite prevention, and travel health checks. Consider:
- Creating educational blog content or social media posts about summer pet safety.
- Offering bundled summer care packages (e.g., vaccines + flea/tick prevention).
- Sending email reminders to clients about annual exams, especially for pets due for check-ups.
By aligning your services with what pet parents are currently concerned about, you position your clinic as proactive, trustworthy, and in tune with their needs.
- Optimize Your Online Presence
Digital visibility is one of the strongest drivers of growth for veterinary practices today. Make sure your website is:
- Mobile-friendly and easy to navigate.
- Updated with accurate hours, services, and contact info.
- Optimized with local keywords (e.g., “veterinarian in Austin, TX”).
Also, ensure you’re actively managing your Google Business Profile—respond to reviews, post updates, and include recent photos. Social proof can drive new clients to book with confidence.
- Strengthen Client Communication
Clear, compassionate communication is the cornerstone of lasting client relationships. This June, evaluate your communication channels and make improvements:
- Is your team trained to answer common questions quickly and kindly?
- Do clients receive timely reminders via text or email?
- Are your post-visit follow-ups consistent and helpful?
Consider implementing a client feedback survey to gather insight directly from your audience. The feedback may uncover opportunities to improve service delivery and boost client satisfaction.
- Build a Team That Supports Your Vision
Your team is the heartbeat of your practice. Use this mid-year mark to reconnect with your staff, revisit your core values, and make sure everyone is aligned with your business goals. Consider hosting a team-building day or professional development workshop. A motivated, well-supported team delivers better care—and helps grow your business organically.
- Leverage Community Engagement
Many communities host outdoor events and pet-friendly gatherings in the summer. Participating in or sponsoring local events can raise awareness of your practice and strengthen community ties. You might:
- Offer a pet hydration station at a farmers market.
- Partner with local shelters for adoption days.
- Host a “Pet Wellness Pop-Up” booth at a summer fair.
Not only does this build goodwill, but it also positions your practice as a trusted resource and active participant in your community’s pet health.
June is the halfway point of the year—a perfect time to pause, reassess, and pivot if needed. Whether you’re looking to attract more clients, enhance your systems, or rekindle your passion for veterinary medicine, Vetripreneur is here to support your journey. As a veterinary entrepreneur, your impact goes far beyond exam rooms. Let this summer be the season you grow with intention.
