Today is , and there’s no way we would miss the chance to be part of the conversation! Putting customers first is what drives us. It defines not only how we interact with our customers, but also with each other.

Our vision is clear: to be the most indispensable partner to animal and oral health professionals, guiding them with bold solutions and a personal touch. “That’s the position we’re building toward,” says Patterson Companies CEO Robert Rajalingam, “Not being just a vendor customers call when they need supplies, but a partner they cannot imagine operating without. We’re constantly thinking about ways to remove friction at every point of the customer journey. We want to make everything possible for our customers and the patients they serve.”

THANK YOU to our customers in the dental and animal health spaces, for trusting us to serve you. You keep us and our animals healthy, and it is our honor to support you and your businesses in this critical work!

The recently applied our core company value of “always advancing” to its grantmaking strategy, with the launch of Signature Grants, marking an evolution in how we support nonprofits.

This invitation-only grant opportunity provides a one-time $60,000 award, which will support capacity building, organizational growth, and expanded access in the fields of dental care and assistance dog training. By increasing both the size and depth of the Foundation’s investments, Signature Grants represent an intentional step toward deeper, more holistic relationships.

In total for Q1, the Patterson Foundation awarded nearly $250,000 in grants, which includes Signature Grant recipients Can Do Canines and Community Smiles Dental - Wisconsin, along with 13 additional nonprofits.
