The Veterinary Intelligence Company (Vet Intel), a veterinary market data and insights company, recently ANNOUNCED the acquisition of Antelligence, that publishes The Fountain Report, Pet Care Weekly and Veterinary Student Insider, and also created the Antelligence Veterinary Market Insights Platform, a web based platform that tracks approximately 32,000+ veterinary practice locations (including 124 corporate groups and veterinary consolidators) in the United States — provides structured visibility into the ownership, staffing, and geographic distribution.

Vet Intel will use technology to continually identify, organize and analyze changes across the veterinary ecosystem, while expanding beyond publicly available data through established and new data partners and its own proprietary insights. The result is designed to provide organizations with a more current, accurate view of the market for strategic, commercial and operational decision-making.

ACCORDING TO CHRIS KELLY, CHIEF COMMERCIAL OFFICER OF VET INTEL (PREVIOUSLY CO-FOUNDER & CEO OF ANTELLIGENCE):

• “For me, this starts with the people and a shared commitment to putting the veterinary industry first. Adam, Ben and the Antelligence team believe in building things that make this industry better and help people make better decisions. We have accurate data, strong content, engaged readers and deep industry knowledge. Adam and Ben bring the technological expertise and business acumen, gleaned from similar yet different worlds, that will exponentially expand our abilities. I believe this will benefit our customers and ultimately create significantly more value for the veterinary profession and the pets it serves.”

The lead investor in Vet Intel is Jon Ayers, former chairman, president and CEO of IDEXX Laboratories and a longtime animal health leader and investor. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
