Is Fremont Veterinary Clinic (Portland, Oregon) owned by private equity?

Notes

• The company name “Fremont vet” is ambiguous; this research resolves it to Fremont Veterinary Clinic at 5055 NE Fremont St, Portland, OR, whose website is fremontvet.com.
• An Oregon Veterinary Medical Examining Board (OVMEB) rule-hearing document includes a letter signed by “R. Preston Ross, DVM” identifying himself as “Hospital Director/Owner” of Fremont Veterinary Clinic (dated April 2011), supporting veterinarian ownership at that time.
• The clinic’s own website biography for Dr. Ross states he joined the Fremont team in 1992 and ‘took the reigns’ in 1997 from predecessor Dr. Thomas Carey, supporting long-term veterinarian operational control.
• No controlling private-equity parent/brand (e.g., ‘part of [platform]’) was found on the clinic’s official website pages reviewed; no transaction announcement or portfolio listing tying this specific clinic to a PE-backed consolidator was found in the collected sources.
• Because controlling ownership can change over time and no definitive, current corporate filing (e.g., current Oregon SoS registry extract showing shareholders/parent) was captured in the gathered sources, confidence is medium rather than high.
• The website HTML content appears to include unrelated spam links at the top in the crawl, which may indicate site compromise; however, the core clinic content (address, team bios) still appears present and was used only for non-ownership facts.
