The Front Desk Is Where the Magic Starts
When a pet parent walks through the door of a veterinary clinic, the first face they see matters. A lot. As a Veterinary Receptionist, you set the tone for the entire visit. You calm nerves, answer questions, and keep everything running smoothly — all while showing pets and people that they are in safe hands.
At Mission Pet Health, that role is not just valued. It is celebrated.
Mission Pet Health is one of the largest veterinary care organizations in the U.S., with a network of 850+ hospitals, specialty centers, and resorts across 42 states. And behind every one of those hospitals is a front desk team that makes the magic happen.

Leadership That Gets It
Mission Pet Health is led by Dr. Jay Price, the only General Practice Veterinarian leading a company of this scale in the nation. That matters because the people making decisions have actually worked in the hospitals. They understand what the front desk looks like on a busy Saturday morning. They build systems that help, not hinder.
