The People-First Healthcare Model

Buy It: The Step-by-Step Guide to Veterinary Practice Acquisition with No Cash Down and Zero Business Experience

For burned out associate veterinarians who have been promised ownership for far too long but with no plan, no timeline, and absolutely no idea how to start...

I went from a burned-out vet to an ethical private practice owner, where I finally feel like I am reaping the benefits of my own hard work. My practice culture is healthier, my staff is happier, my community and the pets are served better, and I am thriving in the flexibility of entrepreneurship.

Now I am teaching other vets exactly how- without the costly mistakes I made along the way.

I need this program!

Are you a vet who..

practice ownership sounds like a dream but completely out of reach?
is working 60 hour weeks, always exhausted, and every day you dread going to work?
has 300K student loan debt and a mortgage?
think that you are disqualified from obtaining a multimillion-dollar business loan?
is one bad week away from walking away from veterinary medicine entirely?

If that's you...you are exactly who this was made for.

This is everything I wish I had when I started my practice ownership journey. Four years ago, I was in your exact position (exhausted, burned-out, numb, and hopeless by my options) ...

This program gets you in contact with the right people from the start, takes you through an actual acquisition plan, advice for negotiation, PLUS includes all the tangible resource materials I use in my own hospital- that you can customize to your own vet clinic for optimization of staff resources but with a focus on people-first systems.

I built this program so you can finally start loving your career (and life) again. Because when the systems work for us, instead of us for them - everything changes.

Here is what makes my curriculum different.

Created by a vet, for vets. One who actually practices medicine in their own GP hospital.
All of my current hospital handbooks, templates, and training SOPs that I actually use in my practice right now.
No MBA required. Just a crash course on the fundamentals of acquisition, closing, and your first 90 days as a new business owner.
No generic chatgpt to-do list. An actual plan into ownership.
People-first model: I will show you how to pay your staff well AND run a profitable practice at the same time.

Hi, I'm Dr. Carlee Tucker

I am a mixed-animal veterinarian, mom of two little boys, and practice owner. Back in 2022, I found out my boss had no intention of replacing my colleague who had recently left. All because having me do double the work was more profitable.

Two days later, I had called the bank. With preapproval in hand, I finally had the nerve to ask my boss to sell me his practice. His answer? Surprisingly, yes!

Then, 3 days later I found out I was pregnant with my first baby.

I spent the next 18 months figuring out practice ownership entirely DIY. I was scared every single day, I was stressed beyond belief, and I thought my poor husband and I were bankrupt regularly. I made financial mistakes, system errors, staffing issues, and even lost a beloved cremation pet due to a SOP oversight. These mistakes cost me my time, money, but most importantly my mental energy. Now, three years later, I run a thriving, successful, and ethical practice. I truly have the best job in the world, all because I created it from scratch.

I put everything that I learned inside this curriculum so that you could fast-track your journey without the embarrassing and expensive mistakes I made.

You need to know that you can get 100% financing for a veterinary practice without selling your left kidney.

This dream is more achievable than you have previously realized. You just have to find a practice that cash flows enough to pay for the business loan itself.

Do you want to own a vet practice, but you have no idea where to start?

You're one decision away from changing that. In 90 days, your life could look entirely different.

You can stay in unethical veterinary medicine systems and keep burning out... or you can take control and build something different, for yourself.

My curriculum is how you do it.

Once you start, you won't ever look back.

New grad DVMs hired who love their job

What DVMs I work with are doing right now..

C.M. stepped into ownership with two new DVMs joining her practice this summer
One vet is in actively searching for practice locations
Another vet is working through the financial planning section and getting SBA loan pre-approval.

None of them knew anything about vet practice ownership to start, but they all made the leap anyways.

Action is the only difference between you and them.

Work through 5 easy modules and prepare for your own vet practice acquisition!

Included workbook will have you building your dream clinic systems as efficiently as possible.

By the end of the program, you will have all the answers and resources you need to confidently walk through appraisal, negotiations, closing, and the first 90 days of ownership with your own customized hospital staff management materials, handbooks, & training resources.

You will get access to every resource I use in my actual practice today:

38-page Veterinary Hospital Employee Handbook, fully customizable for your clinic.
Office Manager Handbook.
10-plus administrative forms and documents ready to use.
Inventory management spreadsheet with over 1,000 items pre-loaded.
Private community of vets at every stage of the ownership journey.
Access to me by email for specific questions.

One vet said the handbook alone was worth the full cost of the program.

Reviews from DVMs who've completed this program..

"Last summer I was feeling major burn-out. I came across your TikTok and couldn't believe how much I could relate. This gave me a little glimmer of hope. This year I am finally officially getting to put my foot into ownership."

— C.M. | Rural Mixed Animal Veterinarian, Iowa. Now stepping into ownership with two new grad DVMs joining her practice this summer. First baby due June 2026.

"The handbook alone was worth the cost. Thank you!!!"

— DVM | Previous Student

"I decided to buy after watching some of your TikTok videos that really resonated with me. What I liked most was that it helped me build confidence that I am making the right decision. I also really appreciate the templates which I know will come in handy when I buy the practice."

LET ME SPLIT THE PAYMENTS

Is this a worthwhile investment if you already own a practice?

One more appointment per day. At an average visit revenue of $250, one additional appointment per day over a five-day week generates $1,250. This curriculum costs $1,298.

Actual Value Breakdown

38-page employee handbook built inside a real working mixed animal practice. Veterinary HR consultants charge $500-$800 for a template version of this. This is much more than a template.

8-page office manager manual. $150-$250 standalone from any practice management consultant.

10+ admin forms ready to customize and use day one. $150-$300 as a template bundle anywhere else.

Inventory Management Excel sheet. $75-$150 on any template marketplace.

Five Modules covering the complete acquisition process from SBA financing to letter of intent to day one ownership. The consulting hours to get this information individually from a veterinary attorney, a practice broker, and a financial advisor would run you $3,000 to $8,000 minimum.

Total real-world value: over $4,000.

Your investment: $1,298 today.

The average income gap between associate DVM and practice owner is $40,000 to $75,000 per year. Every year you wait is money you will never get back.

FAQs

Do I need prior business experience to be ready for this?

Not at all.

My entire goal was to rapid fire educate DVMs practicing right now - those deep in burnout... not those with MBAs. It was designed for veterinarians who know veterinary medicine and need to learn the business but with very little free time. This course assumes you hate your job, are deep in healthcare burnout, have very little mental bandwidth for anything but the nitty gritty important info.

I have student loans, a mortgage, and no savings. Ownership is impossible for me right now.

NOT TRUE!

This is exactly why I am online. I thought the exact same thing. I spent 5 years as an associate veterinarian and 4.5 of those believing I had zero chances to obtain a business loan simply because I would never be able to save 10-20% down. I would never have 100K for an investment like this. But guess what? SBA loans exist specifically for this situation. I had all that debt and I got pre-approved like it was NO PROBLEM. Buy It walks you through the funding options in Module 3, my bank recommendations, and includes a free meet-and-greet link with ProPartners, the financial advisory team I personally used for my acquisition.

What's the timeline we are looking at?

The course is self-paced. Lessons are 5-20 minutes each and you have lifetime access so you can move at whatever pace your life allows. However, I would recommend 3 hours per week for 3 months to complete Buy It. After completion you should be 100% ready to take on an acquisition and in under 12 months you could be closing on your very own veterinary hospital.

Why would I buy this when I can ask Chat?

Ha. Fair enough. Because chat doesn't actually work in a vet clinic and his advice pretty much sucks when it comes to the details that matter. You can ask him, but you still won't feel ready. This plan will not just provide a foundation but will walk you in real-time through your own acquisition. Plus, you will have access to all of my resources. My bank. My financial advisors. My handbooks, inventory docs, and templates.

The things I created from my own brain without AI (because I'm old and wrote these before I figured chat out) and the quality is worth the cost. Because it's an investment into doing business correctly (the first time).

Why isn't there a 1:1 coaching option in this?

Buy It is everything you need to acquire a practice. For DVMs who are already owners and want direct support building systems and culture, I offer a limited number of private consulting engagements. DM me if that is you.

What if I have questions while I am going through the course?

The private FB community is there for any crowd sourced recommendations, but you can also email directly at drcarlee.vetpracticerising@gmail.com. I actually read and respond to them!

What about a Guarantee?

If you complete this course and do not feel confident about your next step toward ownership, I will personally refund you in-full within 90 days of purchase. No questions asked.

I believe in this content enough to put my money behind it.

Right now, you have two choices.

You can close this page, go back to your 50-60 hour week, and keep wondering why you chose this toxic, depressing, soul sucking job...

Or you can decide that today is the day you start building something different. For yourself.

I'm just a regular vet. If I can do this...so can you.
