TVC is 100% owned by its member veterinary hospitals. Each shareholder is both an owner and a beneficiary of the cooperative’s success. Ownership means you share in profits, have voting rights, and help shape the direction of TVC.

Becoming a member-owner is simple. Any independently owned veterinary hospital (51% or more owned by a veterinarian or veterinary team member) can apply to join by completing our online membership form. Once approved, your practice becomes part of the cooperative—unlocking access to savings, education, and shared profits.

Membership costs $200 for a lifetime membership. From time to time, promotional discount codes may be available that significantly reduce the joining fee (including limited promotions as low as $1). There are no ongoing membership fees or dues to maintain membership in The Veterinary Cooperative. Your participation and partnership with our vendor allies help fuel the cooperative’s success—and the more you engage, the more you benefit.

Shareholder Profit Dividends are TVC’s way of returning profits back to the members who earned them. Each year, after covering operating costs and reserves, TVC distributes profits to shareholder members based on their participation and purchasing activity. It’s your cooperative advantage in action.

Yes! As a member-owner, your voice matters. TVC is guided by its shareholders through surveys, votes, Think Tanks, committees, and open communication. Every decision we make is driven by what’s best for independent veterinary hospitals—because you are the cooperative.
