Tips for Starting a Veterinary Business in New York

- DEA registration, state veterinary license, and controlled substance permits all take time. Start applications 6 months before your target opening.

- Emergency and after-hours services command 2-3x standard pricing. Even offering limited emergency hours gives you a revenue edge in most markets.
