Penn Veterinary Supply, Inc. LAST VERIFIED: August 7, 2026

Penn Veterinary Supply, Inc. is an independent veterinary distributor founded in 1981 and based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Known as Penn Vet, it distributes veterinary supplies, pharmaceuticals and vaccines, diagnostics and equipment, and dental, surgical, and hospital supplies, primarily to veterinary practices in the eastern and central United States. It operates a full catalog portal with account-based ordering and a toll-free line, 800-233-0210. Despite the similar name, it is not affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine — a distinction worth knowing when researching the company or searching for it online.

Access is trade-only: buyers must log in or request an account to see pricing or place orders, and the customer base is veterinary practices. The site does not state a minimum order quantity or minimum order value, and accepted payment methods are not published before login. Distribution is regional in emphasis — primarily the eastern and central US — so practices elsewhere should confirm coverage before applying. Dropship support is not stated and is unlikely to apply in this professional channel. Full commercial terms, from pricing to payment, only become visible once an account has been approved.

Penn Vet’s appeal is that of an established independent: more than four decades in operation, a full-line catalog, and account-based service without conglomerate scale — attributes some practices prefer in a distributor relationship. The record lists no red flags. Caveats are practical: all pricing and terms are gated, geographic coverage centers on the eastern and central US, and the name overlap with the University of Pennsylvania’s veterinary school can confuse searches, though the company itself is clear about the distinction. Practices in its footprint should find an account application straightforward; those outside should verify service coverage first. Non-veterinary buyers fall outside its market.
