Transforming Veterinary Care: The Future of Vet At Your Door

When I started Vet At Your Door in 2015, I noticed something was broken in veterinary medicine. Pets were anxious in the clinic. Appointments felt rushed. Veterinary professionals were overwhelmed. The deep human-animal bond that drew us into this field was getting lost in the noise.

So, we did something different. We brought veterinary care home, where pets feel safe. We formed dedicated One Teams around every family. We focused on relationships, not transactions. And it worked. Pets are calmer. Clients feel truly known. Our teams love their work again.

Now, we are dreaming even bigger.

Why We Are Transforming Into an Employee-Owned Practice

The veterinary industry is changing fast. Private equity has been buying veterinary practices across the country at a rapid pace. Decisions that affect the lives of pets, clients, and hardworking veterinary staff are increasingly made in corporate boardrooms far from the communities they serve.

We believe there is a better way.

We are building Vet At Your Door to become a fully employee-owned company. Not someday. Not as a vague aspiration. It is a real goal we are working toward now.

Employee ownership means the people who care for your pets will also share in the success they help create. They have a personal stake in providing an exceptional experience, delivering outstanding medical care, and improving every day. Ownership is not about profit first. It is about pride and partnership.

When caregivers have power, compassion always leads.

Why It Matters For Our Clients and Patients

This movement is bigger than business structure. It is about what we value.

• Pets receive better care when their veterinary team feels supported, respected, and invested in the mission.

• Clients enjoy continuity and trust when the team stays long-term because they love where they work.

• Communities thrive when ownership remains local, and decisions reflect real relationships, not quarterly spreadsheets.

  
  

A truly personal veterinary experience requires a team with heart. Ownership protects that heart.

A Vision Worth Fighting For

Our vision is bold. We want to show the world that a veterinary practice can be:

• A place where pets receive calm and deeply personal care at home.

• A place where every team member can build a long and rewarding career.

• A place where profitability supports people instead of exploiting them.

  
  

We want to be a beacon of light in an industry that risks losing its way.

We want to prove that compassion and great business can grow together.

Growing The Right Way

To support this transformation, we are hiring an incredible leadership team.

We seek experienced, values-aligned leaders who believe in relationship-driven vet care and want to help us bring this model to more families.

Growth is not about becoming big for the sake of big. Growth gives us the resources to care better for our people and to bring truly relationship-based home care to more communities. As we expand, our One Team model ensures that things will always feel personal and small.

No matter how many pets we help, we will always show up like we are caring for our own.

The Importance of Community Connection

In our journey, we recognize the importance of community connection. We aim to foster relationships not just with pets, but with their families. This connection is vital. It allows us to understand the unique needs of each pet and their owners.

When we know you and your pet, we can provide tailored care that meets your expectations. This level of understanding is what sets us apart. It’s not just about treating symptoms; it’s about nurturing the bond you share with your furry friend.

Empowering Our Team

Our commitment to employee ownership empowers our team. When our staff feels valued, they are more engaged. This engagement translates into better care for your pets. We believe that when caregivers are happy, it reflects in their work.

Our team members are not just employees; they are partners in this mission. They share in the success of our practice and are motivated to provide the best care possible. This creates a positive cycle of care and compassion that benefits everyone involved.
