SEATTLE --(BUSINESS WIRE)

Lakefield Veterinary Group, a privately owned veterinary group headquartered in Washington State, is proud to announce its expansion into Florida through its partnership with Emergency Pet Hospital of Collier County. The hospital is located in the rapidly growing and affluent city of Naples, Florida. The hospital operates out of a thoughtfully designed 5,300-square-foot facility. With a dedicated team serving all of Collier County, the hospital has built strong relationships with surrounding general practices and pet parents throughout South Florida. In partnership with Dr. Erik Madison and the hospital’s veterinarians and staff, Lakefield plans to expand services to offer emergency and critical care 24/7 in the near future. This marks Lakefield’s first entry into the state, reinforcing its mission to partner with leading veterinary practices while maintaining its unique culture and commitment to exceptional pet care.

In addition to its expansion into Florida, Lakefield has strengthened its presence on the East Coast with the recent acquisitions of Catlett Animal Hospital (Catlett, VA), Compassion Animal Hospital (Bealeton, VA), and Northwest Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center (Rome, GA). These additions further demonstrate Lakefield’s dedication to supporting veterinary teams in delivering high-quality care while preserving the local identity of each hospital.

"We are excited and honored to partner with such great hospitals and passionate teams who care so much for the pets in their communities,” said Chad Quick, Chief Development Officer. “We will continue to invest in these hospitals to ensure these teams have the technology and resources they need to provide exceptional care to all pets who come to these hospitals.”

By joining the Lakefield family, these hospitals gain access to expanded support, advanced technology, and a network of like-minded veterinary professionals. From operational efficiencies to enhanced continuing education and financial resources, Lakefield empowers its partners to focus on what matters most: providing exceptional veterinary care. This expansion is part of Lakefield’s broader commitment to strengthening the veterinary profession by offering the tools and backing that independent practices may not have on their own.

“With our expansion into Florida, Georgia, and Virginia, we continue to uphold our commitment to providing top-tier veterinary care and ensuring that each hospital retains its individual character and community-driven approach,” said CEO Mollie Hoff.

Lakefield’s unique partnership model prioritizes the needs of veterinary professionals, allowing them to focus on patient care while benefiting from operational support and resources. By expanding its network, Lakefield continues to invest in the veterinary profession and build a future where practices can thrive.
