You may be surprised that possibly the biggest “vulture” is the Mars company. Yes, the candy bar company. Mars is a privately owned and very profitable family business worth billions of dollars. Last I heard they had acquired and own considerably more than 5000 vet clinics and animal hospitals across the country. They own VCA (vet clinics of America) as well as Blue Pearl and Banfield (Banfield clinics are in most PetSmart stores nationwide).
