Mission Earns Top Spot in Veterinary Care — Four Years Running

 

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (October 14, 2025) – Mission Pet Health is excited to announce that it has been named #2 in America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® list. This year marks Mission’s fourth consecutive ranking as #1 in veterinary care, as well as placing in the Top 25 overall.

This prestigious honor recognizes companies that put employee happiness and workplace culture at the forefront of their business success. Leading the 2025 list, Mission joins the ranks with companies like First Watch, O2E Brands, Databricks and more.

Dr. Jay Price, Mission CEO, highlights that this award is a testament to the many thousands of teammates who live out the Mission values of Work Together–Amaze–Grow (WAG) every day.

“Being named #2 to America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces is an incredible honor and a reflection of the passion and commitment of our people,” Dr. Price said. “Our teammates are constantly going the extra mile to better serve clients, patients, and each other. It’s our responsibility to champion their growth, empower them and ensure they are well-positioned to make a difference in their communities and have a lasting impact in our industry.”

The annual America’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces list highlights organizations where employees feel genuinely appreciated, respected and empowered. The selection is based on data from surveys of company employees covering how teammates feel about their future at the company, career achievement, how much company values align with teammate values, respect at all levels and the level of collaboration. In addition, areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging, career development and company leadership were identified and analyzed in relation to the five critical areas measured.

As a leader in the animal health industry, Mission is proactive in finding new ways to strengthen the programs and benefits that help its team of more than twenty thousand teammates across the country thrive. This includes offering competitive pay, flexibility, and industry-leading PTO, as well as advanced clinical and leadership training, continuing education, a women’s leadership summit, a proprietary Veterinary Technician school, multi-faceted doctor mentorship experience and distinct career pathways for professional growth for all teammates.

Vice President of People Solutions, Jessica Moran, said, “We believe that being an amazing place to work starts with valuing our people—fostering ownership and collaboration, supporting their development, and recognizing that their success is the foundation of ours. At Mission, we are focused on inspiring teammates to be the best version of themselves and to provide them with tools and resources to grow.” 

Southern Veterinary Partners and Mission Veterinary Partners officially joined together in December 2024, relaunching as Mission Pet Health in August 2025. With proven track records of clinical and operational excellence, collectively, Mission previously earned recognition on prestigious lists such as Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America, U.S. News & World Report Best Companies to Work For Awards, and Newsweek’s America’s Most Loved Workplaces.

Now united under Mission Pet Health, we are accelerating our combined goal to elevate veterinary care, with steadfast dedication to our people and culture.
