Tractor Supply Company, a rural lifestyle retailer, has acquired the veterinary services business VIP Petcare from PetIQ, a Bansk Group company.

VIP Petcare is a provider of mobile veterinary care, operating community clinics in approximately 2,700 retail locations with national and regional retail partners, including 1,700 Tractor Supply locations, across 39 states and serving more than one million pets annually.

Bringing VIP Petcare's veterinary services capabilities in-house strengthens Tractor Supply's existing pet health platform, according to a press release.

"We believe this transaction strengthens our long-term competitive positioning while leveraging existing infrastructure and customer relationships in a capital-efficient manner," Hal Lawton, president and CEO of Tractor Supply, said in the release.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
