Chewy announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Modern Animal, a technology-enabled veterinary care platform with 29 owned clinics, virtual care services, and a membership-based model.
The acquisition represents a strategic step in Chewy’s effort to build an integrated pet healthcare ecosystem combining veterinary services, pharmacy, prescriptions, and pet commerce.
Once completed, the transaction will expand Chewy Vet Care’s clinic network from 18 to 47 locations across the United States. The company estimates the addition of Modern Animal will contribute more than $125 million in annualized run-rate revenue.
Expanding Veterinary Care Infrastructure
Modern Animal operates a technology-driven veterinary platform that combines physical clinics with digital tools and 24/7 virtual care access. The company also operates a membership-based model designed to support ongoing preventive care and client engagement.
Chewy said the acquisition will accelerate its veterinary clinic expansion strategy while complementing its existing health, pharmacy, and telehealth capabilities.
Technology and Ecosystem Integration
The company expects integration of Modern Animal’s proprietary clinic technology and operating systems with Chewy’s digital platform to support expanded care services and deeper engagement with pet owners.
Chewy also anticipates potential synergies through increased cross-platform engagement, prescription adoption, and expanded purchasing across its broader pet care ecosystem.
Veterinary services represent an estimated $40 billion market in the United States and continue to grow as demand for companion animal healthcare increases.
The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close during Chewy’s second fiscal quarter of 2026.
