What is it like to work at Sploot Veterinary Care?

Working at Sploot Veterinary Care feels different from day one. This is not a corporate chain with rigid rules handed down from a distant headquarters. Sploot is founder-led, privately owned, and built right in Denver. Every decision is made with the team in mind. The culture is warm, collaborative, and driven by a shared passion for pets and the people who love them.

Each day starts with purpose. Whether you are a veterinarian, a veterinary technician, or a veterinary assistant, you are part of a connected system where your voice matters and your expertise is trusted.

What does a typical day look like at Sploot?

Sploot's clinics are open 365 days a year and offer same-day appointments and drop-offs. That means the pace is active and the case mix is diverse — blending general practice with urgent care. No two days look the same. You might consult with a specialist in the network on a complex case in the morning and mentor a newer team member in the afternoon. The variety keeps the work engaging and the learning constant.

State-of-the-art facilities are designed for collaboration. Advanced diagnostics are on-site. Colleagues are just a message away. The environment is built to help you do your best work — without the chaos that burns professionals out.

Does Sploot Veterinary Care support work-life balance?

Yes — and it shows in the schedule. Sploot offers no overnight shifts, regular hours, and 3–4 day weekends. This is one of the most distinctive features of working here. Veterinary professionals often sacrifice personal time for their careers. Sploot is actively changing that. Time for family, rest, and personal pursuits is treated as a priority, not a perk.

Health, dental, and vision insurance are covered 100%. There is also 10 weeks of paid parental leave, generous PTO, and a 401(k) retirement plan — a full package that reflects genuine care for the people on the team.

How does Sploot Veterinary Care support career growth?

Professional development at Sploot is woven into daily work. There is unlimited continuing education — including travel — and the company covers licensing fees, dues, and memberships like AVMA and vin.com. A structured onboarding program with constant feedback makes starting a new role far less stressful.

Leadership pathways are clear and merit-based. You are not waiting for someone to retire to move up. Sploot actively builds the next generation of veterinary leaders from within its own ranks.

What is the interview process like at Sploot?

Sploot looks for professionals who embrace accountability, love working as a team, and are focused on solutions over excuses. Going into an interview, be ready to talk about how you have handled challenging cases collaboratively, how you approach continuous learning, and how you balance excellence with empathy. The team values people who are genuinely curious and eager to grow — not just technically skilled, but human-first.

Insider tip: Sploot has no non-compete agreements and no restrictive contracts. That says a lot about the trust they place in their team. Bring that same spirit of trust and transparency into your interview.

Why do veterinary professionals choose Sploot over corporate chains?

The answer is independence and integrity. Sploot is not beholden to corporate quotas or shareholder demands. It was built locally, and it stays true to its founding vision. That means decisions about care, scheduling, and culture are made by people who actually work in the clinics — not boardrooms far away.

As a certified Most Loved Workplace® for both 2021 and 2026, Sploot has earned that recognition by putting people — both pet parents and team members — at the center of everything.
