At Firehouse, we take our work seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously!
We hire the brightest, most caring, experienced veterinary professionals who truly love animals and understand the human-pet bond.
What makes us different?
We have fun together each day!
We call our team “a team” because we work hard to act like one.
We know you have a life and strive for a work-life balance. And we know this helps you feel refreshed when you walk through our doors each morning.
What else?
We prioritize training in leadership, communication, and diversity to help us work together as a unit:
The Hospital Manager and Medical Director lead the team to foster good relationships and mentor individuals.
We embrace an open-door policy. Quarterly check-ins help us assess if each person’s needs are being met.
Each team member is encouraged to achieve their personal goals in education, career progression, and/or leadership.
Is there more? You bet!
Everyone loves our twice-yearly company parties: our summer family party in June and our team-only holiday party in December.
Our team chooses which philanthropic activities we pursue, so there’s a personal connection to giving back to our pet nonprofits.
We onboard our new team members into the Firehouse culture during 60 days of training to teach our style, expectations, and methodologies.
We support our team in continuing their veterinary education: our doctors attend conferences, and our hospital managers attend annual leadership and communication seminars. Vet Techs and Client Service Coordinators receive support that syncs with their personal needs and goals.
We’re focused on developing leaders within our organization. We love to promote from within.
We value JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, inclusion)
Our JEDI Mission Statement is: We believe each individual has unique needs and experiences. Our culture nurtures diversity, equity, and inclusion to better serve our clients, patients, and communities by laying the groundwork to enhance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for our organization while promoting the best within each other.
We want every team member to feel like they’re part of a bigger mission, to feel empowered to carry out important tasks, to develop their own skills, and to achieve their own goals.
Our team members agree. They’ve helped us place among the top dozen companies in the Austin American-Statesman’s Top Workplaces. We’re the ONLY Austin veterinarian to make a showing!
Our favorite little thing at Firehouse is…
“I’ve never been in an environment that’s so empowering & uplifting.”

At Firehouse, we’re like family: we truly care about each other personally and professionally.
