Join a busy, community-focused small animal hospital where you'll build real relationships with clients and patients in one of the Houston area's fastest-growing communities.

Why Cypress and the Houston Area?
Cypress offers the best of both worlds: quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods with all the energy of the nation's fourth-largest city about 30 minutes away.
The outdoors at your doorstep. The Cypress Creek Greenway offers miles of hike and bike trails along the creek, plus canoeing and kayaking. The Cypress Creek Mountain Bike Trail System has challenging natural-surface trails through wetlands and oak forest.
Parks for you and your dog. Little Cypress Creek Preserve covers 58 acres with ponds, trails, bird-watching, and fishing, and Bud Hadfield Park has disc golf, a wetland nature trail, and picnic areas.
Lakeside dining and events. Stroll the Boardwalk at Towne Lake for restaurants, shops, and community events, or catch a touring show at the Berry Center, a huge complex with a 456-seat theater and a stadium and arena that host concerts and events.
Shopping and entertainment. Houston Premium Outlets is nearby, Sam Houston Race Park offers an evening out, and golfers can play Blackhorse Golf Club, known as one of the top public courses in Texas.
Small-town festivals. The South Texas Fall Festival and the Crawfish Festival are annual favorites, and nearby Tomball hosts a German Heritage Festival, a German Christmas Market, and even the "smallest honky tonk in Texas."
Houston's big-city perks, minutes away. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, major sports teams, and one of the country's most diverse food scenes are all within a short drive.
Beat the heat. Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, a top-ranked Texas water park, is nearby for Texas summers.
Family friendly. Cypress is known for master-planned neighborhoods, strong community ties, and the well-regarded Cy-Fair school district.
Easy to get around. Downtown Houston is roughly 30 minutes away, and Houston's major airports make travel simple.
