Locally Owned

AERC is the only emergency and specialty veterinary center in Minnesota that is 100% owned by local veterinarians, so we don’t grow our clinics based on the needs of a management team located elsewhere in the country; we simply provide veterinary medicine that serves our clients, their pets, and the local veterinary community.

What does local ownership mean to you?

• We are accountable to local veterinarians in our community.
• At AERC, important decisions are made by people who live in the community and who will feel the impact of those decisions.
• Because of our community relationships with other locally-owned businesses, we spend more of our money locally, pumping up the local economic multiplier – the foundation for local income, wealth, and jobs.
• We celebrate what makes Minnesota special and seek to preserve and grow those local assets.
