About Us

Your partner in concierge veterinary care

Long Run VIP Pet Care is your trusted partner in transitioning to a concierge medicine practice, providing a subscription-based model that ensures consistent, high-quality care for pets while supporting DVMs with a sustainable and client-focused practice.

By shifting away from the traditional, high-demand practice model, Long Run empowers DVMs to provide hands-on, tailored care without the stress of overwhelming client loads or administrative tasks. It's more than just a partnership—it's a commitment to helping veterinary care providers thrive while ensuring pets receive the dedicated care they deserve.
