Strategic Acquisition Focus Covetrus recently divested its SmartEquine business through an agreement with Chewy which allows the company to sharpen its focus on delivering innovative, technology-enabled solutions directly supporting veterinary practices. This strategic move indicates potential opportunities to integrate or enhance veterinary practice management systems and technology solutions.

Growth in Veterinary Surgical Products The partnership with Cresilon to distribute VETIGEL, a plant-based hemostatic gel, highlights Covetrus's emphasis on innovative surgical products that improve patient outcomes. There is a clear market opportunity to expand distribution, training, and adoption of advanced surgical tools and hemostatic products across veterinary clinics.

Private Equity Backing The recent $4 billion buyout by private equity firms CD&R and TPG underscores strong financial backing and growth potential. Sales opportunities may arise from offering value-added services or complementary products to this financially robust entity actively seeking growth in the animal health sector.

Digital and Technology Services Covetrus's focus on being a tech-enabled company with an extensive tech stack including SAP Hybris, Genesys, and Spring Boot suggests opportunities to provide supplementary digital solutions such as customer engagement, practice management, or data analytics tools to enhance veterinary practice efficiency.

Market Position and Scale With over 5,000 employees and significant revenue within the veterinary services market, Covetrus is positioned as a leading player. This scale provides opportunities to introduce new innovative products, expand existing service lines, or offer training and support services tailored to large veterinary networks seeking to improve clinical outcomes and operational performance.
