The combined organization will span more than 55 clinics across major Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest markets, serving over half a million pets.

Collaborate with the other recruiters so every hiring need gets met.

Pipelines are built well before openings, so there's less vacancy risk and less last‑minute pressure.
