Ownership & Acquisition History
Yes—Mission Pet Health is currently private-equity-owned/controlled, with Silver Lake (partner since 2024) and Shore Capital Partners identified as the PE sponsors behind the platform.
Notes
- Silver Lake’s official portfolio page lists Mission Pet Health as a 'Current Investment' and shows 'Partner Since 2024,' supporting current private equity ownership involvement by Silver Lake.
- Mission Pet Health’s own announcement states SVP and MVP 'joined together' as Mission Pet Health and references the merger occurring 'late last year' (relative to the July 21, 2025 announcement), consistent with a December 2024 close reported by third-party industry sources.
- An industry market update states the SVP/MVP merger closed in December 2024 and 'led to the creation' of Mission Pet Health (MPH), supporting the timing for when the current combined company became PE-backed as a combined entity.
- Inc. 5000 company profile lists 'Year Founded: 2014' and 'Location: Birmingham, Alabama,' which appears to reflect the platform’s origins (SVP era) rather than the 2025 rebrand date.
- Mission Pet Health’s partnerships page ties the origin story to 2014 and CEO Dr. Jay Price, supporting attribution of the founder/origin point.
