Merger of veterinary organizations yields a new name

Southern Veterinary Partners (SVP) and Mission Veterinary Partners (MVP) are now operating together as Mission Pet Health. SVP and MVP merged in late 2024, and the unified name signals the launch of new branding and a new digital experience that will launch August 4, 2025, at missionpethealth.com. The “transformative moment” also spotlights the combined company’s operational infrastructure, shared culture of excellence, and bold vision for the future of pets, clients, and care teams.

Jay Price, DVM, CEO of Mission Pet Health, said the combined company is grounded in veterinary care and driven by passion. “We are excited to launch the next chapter of our combined company, Mission Pet Health, which represents our legacy and our future,” Price said in a news release. “This next chapter brings together our talent, resources, and value to accelerate our ability to deliver better care for the communities we serve and [a] better experience for our people.”

Mission Pet Health’s highest priority is delivering the best possible health and wellness outcomes for animals while providing best-in-class experiences for clients and team members, according to the company. The organization is committed to providing consistent, personalized, and high-quality care experiences for its clients and pets through local clinics and providers, with strategic investments in talent, technology, and clinical support.

At the heart of Mission Pet Health are the dedicated and talented team members who bring compassion and expertise to their clients and pets every day, according to Mission Pet Health. The growing suite of professional development opportunities—including a proprietary veterinary technician school, specialty training, and mentorship programs—empowers the Mission Pet Health team to deliver increasingly exceptional care by further advancing their skills.

With proven track records of clinical and operational excellence, according to Mission Pet Health, SVP and MVP each earned recognition on prestigious workplace ranking lists such as Inc 5000, US News & World Report, and Newsweek. In 2024, Newsweek named SVP the eleventh most loved workplace in America, marking its third consecutive top 25 ranking.
