Zoetis Inc. has agreed to acquire VitalRads, a Cypress, Texas-based veterinary teleradiology services platform, according to PE Hub. Financial terms were not disclosed, and the transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
The deal would add a veterinary imaging services business to Zoetis, which PE Hub described as an animal health company. VitalRads also operates a mobile ultrasound service in the Greater Houston and Greater Seattle regions, serving more than 200 clinics, according to the report.
Teleradiology is the remote review of diagnostic imaging, a model that can allow veterinary clinics to access radiology support without having a specialist on site. In veterinary care, that can include interpretation of images generated in clinics and hospitals, with the service provider supplying specialist review through a platform or related workflow.
PE Hub identified VitalRads as a services platform rather than a product manufacturer. Its mobile ultrasound offering indicates that the company also provides on-site imaging support in selected regional markets, including the Greater Houston and Greater Seattle areas.
No other transaction details were disclosed in the report. PE Hub did not report the purchase price, financing structure, regulatory conditions, or expected treatment of VitalRads staff and operations after closing.
The stated closing timetable places completion in the third quarter of 2026, subject to any closing requirements that may apply. Until completion, the reported agreement remains a pending acquisition.
