Another thriving and profitable business is to open a veterinary clinic. This one of the most suitable business ideas for veterinarians to start.

If interested, make sure that you locate one near an area with lots of dog owners and animal farms. These people are your target market, and it's wise to take your business there. You’ll also need to learn how to market yourself so that you can reach out to those people who might need your services.

1. Stringtown Animal Hospital ($2.4M/year)

Since purchasing the hospital in 2004, the business has grown from 3 employees and 1 veterinarian to 23 employees and 5 veterinarians. With a focus on providing exceptional care, Dr. Scott has built a thriving veterinary practice that is dedicated to the health and well-being of pets and their families.

How much they make: $2.4M/year
