Join the PACK.
Personal · Advocate · Compassion · Keep Growing. Four values, one close-knit team — real medicine, real mentorship, and a family-owned workplace that treats its people as well as its patients.
What you can expect from us
A workplace where you can bring your skills, your ideas, and your whole self — with owners who know your name, share what they earn above their target, and will never make you the first solution to a hard quarter.
What we ask of you
Live the PACK — with pets, clients, and each other, especially on the hard days.
Tell the truth fast — about mistakes, problems, and what you need. Honesty is the whole system.
Help each other grow — teach what you know, ask what you don't, and celebrate progress out loud.
Protect the hometown heart — you are the reason your community trusts this clinic. Guard that.
What the PACK looks like on a Tuesday
Values only work when everyone in the building can hold the rest of us to them — founders included. Here's what each one looks like, and what it never looks like.
Personal
Hometown heart, always — we show up for the towns that built us.
Knowing clients and pets by name, and their stories
Showing up — events, schools, shelters, hard moments
Treating a visit like a transaction
Advocate
Care without pressure — families decide with full information and zero guilt.
Presenting options with honest trade-offs
Respecting every family's budget without judgment
Recommending care to hit a number
Compassion
For every pet and every person — teammates included.
Meeting fear, grief, and hard days with gentleness
Extending the same grace to coworkers as to clients
Saving compassion for when it's convenient
Keep Growing
In medicine, in people, as a company — the three hold each other up.
Staying current so our medicine keeps pace with what's possible
Treating no role as a dead end
Defending a habit with “that's how we've always done it”
The ownership promise
Most companies keep their finances a mystery to their teams. We'd rather tell you exactly how it works — because you're part of it.
Our target is 15% net profit. Everything above that threshold goes back to our team.
Not to outside investors. Not to a fund. To the people who earned it.
Where we've actually been
For most of our first ten years we've operated in the 6–12% net profit range. We share the real number because honesty means telling you the real one — we're building toward the target, not pretending we've hit it.
And what we did anyway
In 2025 — before reaching the target — we issued our first-ever profit-sharing contribution: 6.56% to eligible employees, into their 401(k)s. We didn't wait until sharing was easy. We started because it was right.
The good stuff, in plain terms
Over the years we've been proud to add health insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance — and we're not done. Our goal is to keep growing how much of what we earn returns to the people who earn it.
No role here is a dead end
The doctor track
From extern to Associate DVM to Lead DVM to Medical Director — with a mentor beside you at every step, and gradual autonomy instead of the deep end.
The leadership track
Our Manager in Training pathway grows clinic leaders from within — real pathways from the front desk to leading a clinic, because leaders here are grown, not just hired.
You have permission to make honest mistakes without judgment or ridicule — and the right to refuse any act you believe is unethical, full stop. Both promises have been in our Code of Conduct & Culture since 2023. This page carries them forward.
