Blue Heron Consulting

Ten years ago, Blue Heron Consulting was founded on a simple yet powerful mission: to improve the lives of veterinary professionals. We set out to empower veterinary professionals with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to build thriving practices and fulfilling careers. Today, as we celebrate a decade of impact, we reflect on the incredible journey we’ve taken together—with our clients, partners, and dedicated team members who have made this success possible. Our growth has been defined by the relationships we’ve built, the challenges we’ve tackled, and the measurable successes we’ve helped veterinary practices achieve. Over the past ten years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with hundreds of clinics across the country, providing strategic guidance that has resulted in stronger businesses, more efficient teams, and better patient care. This week, we're excited to share some of the key milestones and data that showcase our collective impact. From the number of practices we’ve served to the success stories of veterinary professionals who have transformed their careers with our support, these numbers and stories reflect more than just words and statistics—they represent lives changed, businesses strengthened, and a veterinary profession that continues to evolve for the better. ??
