VCA Antech is effectively executing a consolidation strategy in the veterinary services market. The business has all of the advantages of health care with humans, with the added advantages that the market is more fragmented and more cash oriented (still relatively little impact from insurance companies). Even with a P/E of 30, I believe VCA Antech has the potential to double over 5 years due to its proven track record of acquiring and integrating independent veterinary practices.
