My vet is absolutely considering selling his practice. We (selfishly, not seriously) suggested selling his practice and then opening a new one closer to where we live. (We moved out of the area several years ago, but continue to drag the cats in to see him.)

We said it in gest but he said he was already giving it serious consideration. When he bought his practice from the previous vet, the original owner did exactly that —- opening a new practice elsewhere.
