Company Description
Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: IVP) is a veterinary services company that owns and operates veterinary hospitals throughout the United States. According to its SEC registration statements, Inspire focuses on small animal general practice hospitals that serve companion pets, with an emphasis on canine and feline breeds and including equine care. The company is classified under general medical and surgical hospitals within the broader health care and social assistance sector.
The company’s prospectus describes a growth strategy centered on acquiring existing veterinary hospitals that have financial track records, marketplace advantages, and future growth potential. As of the date of its S-1 filings, Inspire reports operating fourteen veterinary hospitals located in nine U.S. states. Management states that acquisitions are not centralized to one geographic area, supported by a leadership and support structure distributed throughout the United States.
Business model and services
Inspire’s SEC filings explain that it generates revenue through veterinary hospitals that provide both services and products for pet health. Recent quarterly results reported in company news releases distinguish between service revenue and product revenue, reflecting clinical services and in-clinic or related product sales. The company also reports comparable clinic revenue metrics across its hospital portfolio.
According to the S-1 prospectus, services at Inspire’s hospitals include preventive care for companion animals, such as annual health exams, parasite control, dental health, nutrition and body condition counseling, neurological examinations, radiology, bloodwork, skin and coat health, and various breed-specific preventive care offerings. Surgical services described in the filing include soft tissue procedures such as spays and neuters, mass removals, and splenectomies, and may also include gastropexies, orthopedic procedures, and other surgical offerings depending on a doctor’s training. In many locations, the company notes that additional means of care and alternative procedures are offered, such as acupuncture, chiropractic care and other health and wellness offerings.
Geographic footprint and clinic network
Inspire’s S-1 filings state that it owns and operates veterinary hospitals in multiple states and that its network has expanded through acquisitions. A shareholder update press release notes that the company completed its fifth acquisition in the state of Florida and signed a letter of intent for its first location in New Jersey, which would represent its 15th location nationwide if completed. The company also reports holdings in multiple other states through its veterinary clinic network.
The company’s public filings emphasize that it seeks hospitals with established positions in their local markets and growth potential, and that it has purchased real estate in connection with some hospital acquisitions, adding complexity and cost as described in its risk factors.
Technology and operations
Inspire has disclosed several operational initiatives in its news releases. The company reports completing an enterprise-wide rollout of cloud-based electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management software across all clinics. It further describes integrating an artificial intelligence (AI) platform, in partnership with software provider Covetrus, into its medical software. The AI platform is designed to perform administrative tasks such as AI-based dictation and auto-generated medical notes, pre-appointment summaries, and treatment board support, with the stated goal of reducing administrative workload and allowing veterinarians to focus more on clients and patients.
Inspire’s communications also highlight a company-wide incentive and recognition program aligned with revenue and earnings targets, intended to provide monetary rewards to clinic and company leaders. The company has cited survey results indicating positive job satisfaction among clinic leaders and doctors, and has described investments in talent management systems, engagement and recognition structures, and enhancements to purchasing and inventory management systems.
Growth initiatives and new verticals
Company news releases describe a strategy of continued growth through acquisitions and new business verticals. Inspire reports multiple acquisitions of animal hospitals, including an animal hospital in central Florida and a proposed acquisition in New Jersey. It has also entered into financing arrangements, including a securities purchase agreement for convertible preferred stock and senior convertible promissory notes, as disclosed in its Form 8-K and S-1 filings, to support working capital and acquisitions of additional veterinary practices.
Inspire has announced plans for an online pet pharmacy, with launch expected in the first quarter of 2026, to offer prescription and over-the-counter pet healthcare products. The company states that this pharmacy will initially launch in specific U.S. geographies with plans for broader distribution over time. Management characterizes this as a new business vertical that builds on its experience as an owner and operator of veterinary hospitals and on relationships within the veterinary medicine industry.
Corporate structure, listing, and capital markets activity
Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. is incorporated in Nevada, as disclosed in its SEC filings. The company completed its initial public offering on August 31, 2023, and its Class A common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol IVP. The company is identified as an emerging growth company and smaller reporting company under SEC rules, which affects its reporting requirements.
The company has filed several registration statements on Form S-1 relating to potential resales of Class A common stock by selling stockholders and to financing arrangements, including a committed equity financing with Seven Knots, LLC and a private placement of Series B convertible preferred stock with associated warrants. It has also reported convertible promissory notes and other debt instruments in Form 8-K filings, along with equity issuances related to consulting and debt cancellation agreements.
Regulatory and listing considerations
In multiple Form 8-K filings, Inspire has disclosed interactions with the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding listing standards. In a September 2025 press release, the company reported regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity requirement. In November 2025, the company filed an 8-K stating that it had received a notice from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and that, due to prior reverse stock splits, it was not eligible for a standard compliance period under certain rules. Nasdaq indicated that the company’s securities would be suspended and a Form 25-NSE filed unless the company requested a hearing. Inspire reported that it requested a hearing, which stayed further suspension or delisting action pending the hearing process, and later disclosed that a hearing was scheduled for January 13, 2026. The company notes that there can be no assurance the Nasdaq panel will grant continued listing.
In a separate 8-K, Inspire disclosed a change in its independent registered public accounting firm, dismissing Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP and appointing M&K CPAS, PLLC. The filing states that Kreit & Chiu’s audit reports included an explanatory paragraph about substantial doubt regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and that the firm had advised of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Financial profile and risk disclosure
Inspire’s quarterly press releases report that the company has generated revenues from service and product sales but has incurred net losses. For example, the company reported total revenue in the second and third quarters of 2025 and noted decreases in net losses compared to prior-year periods. It has also discussed comparable clinic revenue growth and changes in operating expenses, including reductions in general and administrative expenses.
The company’s S-1 filings include extensive risk factor disclosures. These cover topics such as limited operating history, lack of profitability, potential need for additional capital, the complexity of purchasing real estate with hospital acquisitions, challenges in recruiting and retaining veterinarians, competition in the animal health industry, internal control considerations, and regulatory risks related to veterinary services, prescription pet medications, environmental, health and safety laws, and other government regulations.
Organizational focus and sector positioning
Across its SEC filings and news releases, Inspire presents itself as an owner and provider of pet health care services throughout the United States, with a focus on small animal general practice and related services. It operates within the health care and social assistance sector, under an industry classification that includes general medical and surgical hospitals, and applies that framework to veterinary medicine through its network of companion animal hospitals.
