Introducing Arista Advanced Pet Care: Revolutionizing Specialty & Emergency Veterinary Medicine with a Shared Ownership Model

Arista's inaugural specialty and ER DVM team of owners will open their first hospital in 2025

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arista Advanced Pet Care, a groundbreaking venture led by veterinarian Jennifer Welser, DVM, DACVO, is set to redefine the landscape of specialty & emergency pet care with its innovative shared ownership model. Dr. Welser, renowned for her leadership in veterinary medicine, brings her wealth of experience and expertise to spearhead this initiative that puts ownership back into the hands of veterinary specialists and emergency clinicians. Backed by a team with over 25 years of experience building the shared ownership model, Arista is poised for success.

Arista Advanced Pet Care distinguishes itself by building new multispecialty referral and 24/7 emergency hospitals dedicated to serving primary care veterinarians and their clients by treating pet health issues beyond the scope of general practice. What sets Arista apart is its unique shared ownership model and its commitment to providing seamless and transparent advanced pet care. By partnering with veterinary owners who have a meaningful stake and a seat at the table, multispecialty veterinary teams are empowered to build their hospital in their community. This innovative approach not only fosters collaboration and the cultivation of distinctive local cultures but also better meets the needs of clients and their pets, general practitioners and the hospital teams.

"At Arista Advanced Pet Care, we are committed to revolutionizing veterinary medicine by putting control back into the hands of our dedicated veterinary teams," says Dr. Welser, President of Arista Advanced Pet Care. "The veterinary referral industry is over 85% corporate consolidated and our shared ownership model represents a paradigm shift, offering veterinarians a unique opportunity to have a true stake in the success of their practice. We are proud to be at the forefront of this transformative movement in veterinary medicine."

With a distinguished career that includes serving as the Chief Strategy Officer at CityVet, Global Chief Medical Officer at Mars Veterinary Health, and Chief Medical Officer at BluePearl Veterinary Partners, Dr. Welser has consistently championed innovation and excellence in the field. Additionally, she is the current Chair of the Veterinary Innovation Council. Drawing from her extensive background as a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist in clinical practice and as an entrepreneur and inventor, she is now embarking on a new journey to transform the way specialty pet care is delivered.

Serving as Executive Chairman and a Co-Founder of Arista Advanced Pet Care, Andy Anderson, DVM, DACVS brings his vast expertise in business and specialty veterinary medicine to the new venture. Anderson is a proven executive in the veterinary space having built and sold a successful pet specialty and emergency hospital business that operates throughout the United States. After working alongside Dr. Welser in the industry, Anderson knew that she was the best candidate to lead the new company. He explains, “Dr. Welser's wealth of experience in specialty medicine, along with her shared goal of restoring agency to veterinarians, made her the perfect choice to serve as the leader of Arista. We take great pride in having her lead this new venture, not only as a strategic guide but also as a mentor to our veterinary partners.”
