The Bird Bath Terminal

The US vet market, as of today.

Not as of last quarter. Every practice, every veterinarian, every change we see, dated and sourced.

The Bird Bath Terminal is a veterinary practice database and market intelligence platform covering every veterinary practice in the United States: who owns it, who works there, what software it runs, and what changed this week.

Diagnostics A publicly traded veterinary diagnostics company, sizing territories and tracking accounts as they change hands.
Pet brands A national direct-to-consumer pet nutrition brand, mapping the veterinary channel and the practices that shape it.
Consolidators Global veterinary groups, watching independents and mapping competitors' footprints before the next move.
Executive search International recruiters, working from licensed veterinarians linked to the practices they actually work at.
Capital Private equity and corporate development teams, diligencing markets against evidence instead of directory listings.
What it does

What makes it different.

01

The whole market

Corporate groups publish their own locations, so those are the easy part. Independents take more work, and they are most of the market.

22,394independents
12,548corporate locations
107groups
40+fields per record

Ownership is resolved to the practice, not the brand on the sign.

02

We keep the history

Most industry data is a snapshot taken once a quarter. Ours is a record.

40,564logged changes
~430added per day

Corrections are kept rather than overwritten, so you can ask what a practice looked like eighteen months ago.

03

Signals, not just fields

A lot of it happens before there is a press release.

Openingscaught pre-launch
Closuresdetected and dated

Plus the staffing picture underneath: licensed vets linked to where they work.

What it looks like

It keeps updating after you buy it.

A file is out of date the day it lands. This is not a file.
