Looking for something a little different?
HomeVet USA is a family-owned, hybrid concept clinic. We offer both mobile in-home appointments AND full service in-clinic appointments and we are seeking an LVT or experienced Veterinary Assistant to join our growing team! We do in-home mobile appointments Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and then in-clinic services, including surgeries, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Mobile appointments offer the opportunity to get out of the office and break-up the monotony of the normal clinic schedule. It also allows for a slower pace and more personalized experience for both clients and patients. Our main priority is providing exceptional client service and personalized patient care.
Our clinic truck is a simple, lightly branded SUV which carries a full pharmacy, veterinary supply bag, label printer and everything else we would need for in-home patient care. We offer a standard Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm work schedule with major holidays off and no after-hour emergencies.
