Covetrus has opened a new distribution center in Grimes, Iowa, that will provide veterinarians with access to more than 5,000 product offerings used to manage practices and treat large and small animals.
The distribution center will serve the greater Midwest region through veterinary practices in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, North Dakota, Texas, Wyoming and Wisconsin.
Todd Worthington, senior director of operations and logistics at Covetrus noted that the the new distribution center is one of the company’s 13 facilities, serving practices across the US.
“Whether the veterinarian is treating large animals, such as horses, or small ones like dogs and cats, the products they need can be found at Covetrus. Located in central Iowa, the new distribution center is able to fulfill customer orders quickly and efficiently so they can treat the animals in their care,” Worthington said in a news release.
The facility is more than 80,000 square feet and offers walk-in support for veterinarians to visit in-person to pick up products or get any other assistance needed.
