Vets Pets Partner Retreat | Grandover Resort & Spa

May 16th - 18th, 2025

The Vets Pets Partner Retreat at the Grandover Hotel is a special gathering created exclusively for Partners within our system. Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Grandover, this retreat is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and come together with fellow partners and Vets Pets leadership. We’ll align on shared goals, explore new ideas, and strengthen our vision for the future of our practices.

The retreat will focus on leadership development, camaraderie, and learning from each other’s experiences. These goals are critical as we strengthen our partnerships and continue supporting one another.

 
Please RSVP today and let us know your activity and meal selections—we can’t wait to see you there!

The Grandover provides free self-parking. Once parked, please stop by the front desk to check in. Simply share your first and last name and let them know you’re with the Vets Pets Partner Retreat. You’ll be asked to provide a credit card for any incidentals during your stay, but your room and tax have already been covered, and no additional charges will be made to your card for those.
