Description: Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Sterling, Mass., Webster Veterinary serves as the nation’s second largest distributor of consumable veterinary supplies, equipment and software, diagnostic products, vaccines and pharmaceuticals. With over 30,000 products from the leading names in veterinary medicine, Webster supplies companion-pet, equine and mixed-practice clinics.

Since its beginning, the Webster name has been synonymous with professional, prompt service and successful veterinary practices. And as part of the progressive, global Patterson Companies family of businesses, Webster draws from an enormous pool of resources to provide expanded services, products, technologies and distribution capabilities. This includes the acquisition of the Milburn Equine division in 2004 and a continual influx of new technology and equipment to improve efficiency and productivity in veterinary practices.

The 2005 acquisition of Intra Corp, a leading national veterinary software developer and marketer of IntraVet practice management software, gives veterinary professionals another important reason to rely on Webster as their single-source supplier.

The formation of 11 branch locations across the U.S., along with the 2008 acquisitions of Columbus Serum Company, Odyssey Veterinary client communication software and Associated Medical Supply, mark significant steps toward establishing the leading position in the nation’s companion-pet veterinary supply market.
