PATTERSON VETERINARY ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH GVL®

Digital solution connects veterinarians, pet owners and state animal health officials

January 14, 2020 (Greeley, CO) - Patterson Veterinary today announced an exclusive partnership with GVL (GlobalVetLink), as part of the company's growing portfolio of software solutions.

The GVL software platform connects veterinarians, pet owners and state animal health officials to provide health certificates for animals while traveling. With GVL, vets can digitally create and submit official Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs), simplifying the ability to meet state-regulated compliance requirements.

"More and more people are traveling with their pets, and that has brought an increased need for animal health certificates," said Kevin Pohlman, president, Patterson Veterinary. "Specifically, CVIs show that pets are healthy and free of transmissible disease. We chose to partner with GVL because their solution provides CVIs approved for use in all 50 states, allowing our customers to get back to focusing on their patients."

"GVL is the leader in providing easy-to-use CVIs and other digital animal health documentation to over 10,000 U.S. veterinarians," said Brett Keirstead, chief revenue officer, GVL. "We are excited to partner with Patterson Veterinary to offer our platform to their customers."

The partnership with GVL supports Patterson Veterinary Technology's key objective of providing the best, most relevant and most innovative technology solutions to veterinarian practices.

"Finding the right partners that bring value to our customers is a top priority for our organization," adds Pohlman.
