I presume this is the site you meant: https://privateequityvet.org/ (that's what came up when I googled "PrivateEquityVet&quot .

I'm there now and just confirmed my suspicions that the vet where we used to take Willow (and Logan before her) is now owned by a private equity firm. They did a great job with both cats, but the prices started going up some time in the last few years and they are OUT OF SIGHT now.
