We’re a Family-Oriented Practice

We don’t just talk about work-life balance—we live it. Most of our team members are parents, and we’ve built a culture that supports families first, including:

Flexibility for school events, kids’ activities, and personal appointments
Early closures on Halloween so you can trick-or-treat with your little ones
Closed on all major holidays
Understanding when life throws curveballs—we get it, and we’ll work with you

We believe great patient care starts with happy, healthy team members. That’s why we protect your time, value your personal commitments, and encourage a sustainable schedule that supports your home life.

Work Schedule

Clinic hours: Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM
We are closed to the public on weekends, but staff may rotate treatment shifts for hospitalized patients and emergencies.

Typical shifts vary:

Weekdays: 7:25AM–4:25PM, 8AM–5PM, or 8:30AM–5:30PM
Rotating weekend/holiday treatment duties (typically half-days)

Note: Weekend work is not with the public but may involve patient care or supporting emergencies.

Our experienced vet assistants and RVTs rotate taking emergency calls for clients from 5pm-9pm M-F, and 8am-5pm Saturday/Sunday. Staff are compensated for both being on call, and also additional compensation if they are called into the clinic.
