That has led to an expansion of veterinarian services, including exercise/rehab facilities and more. “The door stayed open for veterinarians the entire pandemic,” said Brandy Keck, head of veterinary lending at Live Oak Bank. “It became very quickly incredibly evident that the veterinary industry was going to be one of the winners.”
