What You Are Actually Buying
VCA Inc., the company behind VCA Animal Hospitals, was acquired by Mars, Incorporated through a merger completed September 12, 2017, after which VCA became a wholly owned subsidiary within the Mars group (VCA Inc. Form 8-K and the Mars and VCA joint release, September 12, 2017). We found no separate rating for VCA; the ratings shown on this page belong to Mars.
Whether Mars credit stands behind a hospital lease depends on the entity that signed it. Confirm whether the tenant is VCA Inc., a hospital-level subsidiary or another entity, and whether any parent guarantees the lease.
Across the current inventory, 0% of listings with a reported build year were delivered in the last four years, and 0% are marketed as NN, NN+ or simply Net, which usually means the landlord retains roof and structure and sometimes parking and HVAC. Read the lease rather than the brochure headline. If the rating framework behind investment grade tenancy is unfamiliar, the investment grade guide explains it.

How to read the pricing
The spread inside the VCA Animal Hospitals inventory runs from 6.50% to 13.39%, against a median of 6.88%. Three variables help explain much of that spread, although these tables describe asking prices and do not isolate any single effect. First, remaining term, shown in the term table above. Second, geography, shown in the state table below. Third, lease structure and real estate quality: longer terms, stronger guarantors, absolute NNN structures and strong access generally ask lower cap rates, while leases with landlord responsibilities (NN) and secondary access generally ask higher ones; ground leases can price on either side, depending on rent and land value. When a listing sits far outside the band its term and state would predict, there is usually a reason in the lease, and it is worth finding before you write the offer rather than after.
Where VCA Animal Hospitals NNN Properties Are For Sale
Current inventory spans 6 states. Differences between states in the table below can reflect local buyer demand, growth, taxes and the mix of lease terms in each state’s listings as much as anything about the tenant, and small state samples can shift quickly.
| State | Listings | Avg Cap Rate | Avg Asking Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| MA | 1 | 7.79% | $0.96M |
| MN | 1 | 6.59% | $1.85M |
| NH | 1 | 6.50% | $3.38M |
| NY | 1 | 13.39% | $1.30M |
| TX | 1 | 7.00% | $1.24M |

VCA Animal Hospitals as a 1031 Exchange Replacement Property
The median asking price in the current VCA Animal Hospitals inventory is $1.58M, and about 50% of listings fall between 1.5 and 3.5 million dollars. Whether that fits an exchange depends on the equity coming out of the relinquished property and on the debt you need to replace. The points below are general information, not tax or legal advice; confirm your own situation with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor.
- Identify from the live list, not a stale one. Listings move. Replacement property must be identified within 45 days of the sale of the relinquished property (Internal Revenue Code section 1031(a)(3)), and the three-property rule in Treasury Regulation section 1.1031(k)-1(c)(4) lets you identify up to three properties regardless of value, so keep a backup that is realistically still available.
- Debt replacement matters. Liabilities on the relinquished property that the other party assumes, or that the property is transferred subject to, are treated as money received, and they can be offset by liabilities on the replacement property and by cash the taxpayer adds (Treasury Regulation section 1.1031(d)-2). Where lender pricing sits above the asking cap rate, financed acquisitions run negative leverage, so run your debt numbers before you identify.
- Term should match your hold. If you plan to hold through the next exchange or pass the asset to heirs, weigh remaining term and options alongside cap rate.
- Certainty of closing matters. The replacement property must be received within 180 days of the sale, or by the due date, including any extension, of the tax return for the year of the sale if that comes first (Internal Revenue Code section 1031(a)(3)). A clean estoppel, a current lease and no pending relocation reduce closing risk.

VCA Animal Hospitals NNN Due Diligence Checklist
These are the items that change the value of a VCA Animal Hospitals listing and are rarely resolved by the offering memorandum.
- Tenant entity and guaranty. Identify the exact entity on the lease and any guaranty from VCA Inc. or another parent.
- Clinical build-out and reuse. Animal hospitals often carry specialized plumbing, surgical and kennel space. Quantify the cost to convert the building for another user and who owns the improvements at expiration.
- Remaining term and relocation risk. Compare the remaining term and options with your hold period, and ask whether the hospital has expansion or relocation plans in the market.
- Financial reporting rights. Confirm whether the lease entitles you to any hospital-level or tenant-level financial information.
