Listening Is at the Heart of Everything

At Mission Pet Health, listening is not a once-a-year event. It is baked into everyday life. From home office teams to the frontlines of animal care, every voice matters — and every piece of feedback is treated as a chance to grow.

That commitment shows up in the numbers. Mission Pet Health earned a 4.67 employee love rating, with 94% of team members saying they trust their managers and 94% saying they love their workplace. A remarkable 93% would recommend Mission Pet Health to others, and 96% feel genuinely connected to their colleagues.

These are not just statistics. They are a reflection of a team that feels heard, valued, and supported.

A Most Loved Workplace® — Four Years Running

Mission Pet Health has been certified as a Most Loved Workplace® for four consecutive years — 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. In 2025, they also earned a spot on the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list.

But it does not stop there. The organization holds an impressive collection of specialty recognitions, including:

  • Most Loved Workplace® for Women 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Diversity 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Mental Health 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Career Advancement 2025

  • Most Loved Workplace® for Inclusivity 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Neurodiversity 2025
  • Most Loved Workplace® for Parents & Caregivers 2025

These recognitions span every dimension of the employee experience. They signal that Mission Pet Health is not improving in just one area — they are improving across the board.

WAG Values: The Engine Behind Growth

Mission Pet Health runs on a simple but powerful set of core values: Work Together. Amaze. Grow. — known as WAG.

These are not words on a wall. They shape how decisions get made, how teams collaborate, and how the organization evolves.

Work Together means cross-functional teams tackle real challenges side by side — whether that is caring for a pet, launching a new hospital, or rolling out tools that support field teams.

Amaze pushes every team member to deliver exceptional experiences — for clients, for patients, and for each other.

Grow drives a culture of continuous learning. Skills, capabilities, and careers are always moving forward — as fast as the organization itself is expanding across 850+ hospitals in 42 states.

Leadership That Truly Understands the Work

What sets Mission Pet Health apart is who is leading the charge. CEO Dr. Jay Price is the only general practice veterinarian leading a company of this scale in the nation. His clinical roots mean that decisions at the top are grounded in the real, day-to-day realities of hospital life.

The Senior Leadership Team is accessible to virtually anyone in the company. There are no closed doors. Ideas, concerns, and feedback flow freely at every level. Credit matters less than what gets accomplished — together.

This kind of leadership builds trust. And trust is what makes honest feedback possible.

Investing in the People Who Show Up Every Day

Mission Pet Health backs its commitment to growth with real, tangible investment in its people. Benefits go well beyond the basics:

  • Continuing education stipends and Fear Free certification support
  • Tuition assistance and career advancement across 400+ locations
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Wellness stipend and Employee Assistance Program
  • Flexible scheduling and maternity leave options
  • Discounted veterinary care for employees and their families

These are not perks added as an afterthought. They are proof that the organization listens when team members say what they need to thrive — both professionally and personally.

A Place Where You Can Be Yourself and Grow

Mission Pet Health has built something rare: a network large enough to offer unmatched opportunity, yet grounded enough that every person still feels seen. Clinical autonomy is protected. Diverse backgrounds are celebrated. And a spirit of continuous improvement runs through everything.

If you are looking for a place where your feedback shapes the future — and where the future is always getting brighter — Mission Pet Health is ready for you.
