We believe learning is a life-long commitment.

Building our team, we require leaders who take the initiative to grow—and we help them do just that. Our goal is to help people be the best version of themselves. Interested in learning a new skill?

Making a difference in the community and beyond.

Our commitment to pets extends beyond our hospital walls. Our organization regularlyimplements charity drives across the nation to help supportlocal shelters, and our team members have the opportunity to give back to communities around the globe through our partnership withWorld Vets. Each year, we send a group of doctors and support staff abroad to help pets in need and support programs that nurture healthy relationships between people and animals. In 2021, Lakefield team members were able to be a part of opening the first and only veterinary clinic in the Galapagos.
