Our location

We are still floating on cloud nine from getting to design our vet clinic from the ground up! We worked with architects, builders, veterinarians, front desk people, vet techs, family, and friends – to devise the most welcoming, modern, and functional space possible. We don’t mind getting compliments on our facility’s presentation and presence all the time! We use the fancy stuff to clean, so we don’t smell like your average clinic! We are in a pretty large building, so we have plenty of room to grow!

Since we opened in January, it’s been a delight getting to know the clientele. Novi, MI, is really a mixed bag of diverse and interesting people. We are never bored, that’s for sure! Located conveniently at the crossroads of two major freeways, it’s convenient to get to, as well. We all know commute matters!

Our offer

We are offering an hourly rate of $16 – 21 to start, depending on experience, responsibilities, and aspirations. We work four days a week, plus a half day every other Saturday. We offer benefits like paid time off, health insurance, employee discount (50%!), Simple IRA with a match, CE, licensing coverage, uniform stipend, and more! Our benefits add about $3.75 to your hourly wage, depending on how much you utilize the employee discount. So that’s gives this position a $19.75-$24.75 hourly value.
