Well, the above post said the cop vets were price gouging. If the local vets are price gouging too, then it seems to have nothing to do with corporate ownership.

Local clinics pay higher rates for supplies (few economies of scale) and depending on the practice, often do quite a lot of charity on the side. There are private practices that compete with the corps on margin, but they're relatively rare to my knowledge.
