Job Description

Company Description

For over 30 years, our team has been providing the highest quality of veterinary medicine to South Texas. From Corpus Christi to Laredo, from San Antonio to Brownsville, we regularly out shine our competition.

Faith and Family – God is the reason for our success. We run our business based on principles of the gospel and believe in being ethical, honest, moral, virtuous, charitable, kind, empathetic, respectful, and loving. We believe families, mothers, fathers, and children are special and important. We consider each other family and have each other’s back.

Respectful Communication – We believe, while the roles that we fill may be different, our value is equal and as such everyone deserves respect. We understand the value of clear communication and actively make an effort to understand what is communicated. We give people the benefit of the doubt. The focus of interoffice communication should be purpose-oriented of our goals rather than detail-oriented of our failures.

Quality – We believe consistent quality over quantity is our “secret sauce.” To provide the highest quality medicine, we believe in constantly learning and improving ourselves. We do not settle. We expect the best of ourselves, offer the best to our clients, and give the best to our patients.

Responsibility and Accountability – We believe “it is my job.” While delegation, collaboration, and cooperation are important at the end of the day “it is my job.” We hold each other accountable, but most importantly we hold ourselves accountable

Having core values does not mean we don’t make mistakes, it means that we hold ourselves accountable and allow others to hold us accountable.
