We are committed to transforming the veterinary industry for the better. It starts with a promise to create better clinics, better experiences and better career development opportunities.
Our Founder’s Philosophy
We started the company with two main goals. First, to nurture and foster the human-animal bond. Animals are phenomenal for human beings and our well-being. They help humans overcome ailments, feel less lonely, and increase the overall quality of our lives. Especially during the pandemic, people have realized how important that relationship is. We feel fortunate to support that bond and help pets (and by extension, their humans) live longer, better lives.
Our other goal is to create a healthy workplace in the veterinary industry — to prove it can be done. With such high rates of burnout and unhappiness, it’s clear the industry hasn’t done enough to make it better. The goal is to create a healthy workplace culture, one where team members truly look out for one another. Whether it’s covering a shift or assisting with a simple task, I want to make sure every member feels supported in their daily role and in their overall career path. Team members are the most important people in an organization — a happy team often translates to a happy client experience. We are driven by a core set of values and a mission, and a clear toolkit to help our team handle various situations and communicate with one another and with clients.
