Petfolk Expands West with First Utah Location, Bringing Modern Veterinary Care to the Salt Lake City Market

SALT LAKE CITY, UT,  June 25, 2026 - Petfolk, the modern veterinary company built by veterinarians to make pet care more connected, transparent, and accessible, today announced its expansion into Utah with a new Pet Care Center planned for the greater Salt Lake City market.

The first location, in Riverton, is expected to open in Fall 2026. The new Care Center marks Petfolk's entry into one of the country's fastest-growing regions and continue the company's national expansion as it brings a more thoughtful approach to veterinary care to pets and their people.

"At Petfolk, we've always believed veterinary care can be better for pets, pet parents, and the veterinary professionals who dedicate their lives to this work. Our mission is to make exceptional veterinary care easier to access while creating a more connected, transparent, and compassionate experience for everyone involved," said Dr. Audrey Wystrach, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Petfolk. "We're incredibly excited to become part of the Salt Lake City community and to build teams that deliver exceptional medicine alongside the trust, communication, and relationships that today's pet parents deserve. That's the future of veterinary care we're committed to building."

Each Petfolk Care Center is designed to support both everyday veterinary needs and the unexpected moments that can't wait. Services include preventive care, wellness exams, vaccinations, surgery, dental care, diagnostics, and urgent care, all delivered in thoughtfully designed spaces that help pets stay comfortable and keep pet parents connected throughout their visit.

Petfolk also extends care beyond the clinic through its mobile app, giving pet parents 24/7 access to virtual veterinary support, medical records, appointment scheduling, and ongoing communication with their care team.

The expansion reflects Petfolk's continued investment in building sustainable careers for veterinary professionals. Founded by a veterinarian, the company pairs modern technology with a people-first culture that emphasizes mentorship, collaboration, and long-term career growth. Through its Partner Program, veterinarians have the opportunity to grow from Associate to Partner Veterinarian while sharing in the success of their Care Center through equity ownership, without the traditional financial barriers of practice ownership.

"Great medicine starts with great people," said Dr. Wystrach. "As we expand into Utah, we're looking for veterinarians, technicians, and support professionals who want to practice in a medicine first, veterinarian led environment where collaboration, innovation, and patient care come first. Our goal is not just to open hospitals. It's to build extraordinary teams and create careers that restore joy, purpose, and fulfillment to the veterinary profession."

Construction is underway on Petfolk's first Utah location:

• Petfolk Riverton - Opening Fall 2026 13222 Tree Sparrow Drive, Suite R160 Riverton, UT 84096

Petfolk is actively hiring veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants to support both locations. Additional information, career opportunities, and opening updates are available at petfolk.com.
