Our Purpose

At Banfield, we are defining the future of pet health and wellness. It’s about helping make better lives for pets, while extending the careers of the people who care for them. And it’s a movement we are proud to be part of.

Our Culture

We offer a team-oriented environment where you are valued and your opinions matter. As the world's largest veterinary practice, we have the potential to make a greater positive impact than any other practice. We can only get there with associates fully committed to moving the pet health care industry forward.

Our Principles

Banfield, like our parent company, Mars Incorporated, shares special values called The Five Principles: Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom. We are looking for associates who understand that our principles are the foundation of our culture and approach to business.

Compelled by the desire to make a better world for pets, all associates are called to contribute to our practice through their own expertise, skill and passion. But regardless of our roles, we support one another so that together, we can support our clients with world-class veterinary care. 

We truly believe that we can continue to raise the bar for pet health care. From the front desks and exam rooms to our home office in Portland, Oregon, every Banfield associate contributes to our mission.  

Veterinarians: Providing preventive care and numerous veterinary services to pets in neighborhoods throughout the country, our veterinarians are critical to our practice and the communities they serve. This is why we provide them with the resources, equipment, research and continuing education they need to stay at the forefront of high-quality, evidence-based veterinary medicine.

Certified Veterinary Technicians: Our certified veterinary technicians play an important hands-on role in each and every one of our hospitals. With responsibilities ranging from vaccinations to surgical assistance to client communication, our skilled technicians are an integral part of hospital services and client experience.

Hospital Staff: Often the first face a client sees, our hospital team plays a critical role in managing the efficiency of our day-to-day operations. If you are passionate about preventive pet health care and want to work alongside dedicated industry experts in a fun, team environment while making a difference in the lives of pets and the clients we serve, we welcome you to explore a variety of positions at local hospitals, including:

- Practice Managers

- Veterinary Assistants

Field Leaders: Offering support at a local level, our Medical Directors, Field Directors and Learning Managers coach and train hospital associates to ensure that the highest standards of quality veterinary care and business practices are being carried out across every neighborhood location.

Whether you are seeking entry-level employment or senior management career opportunities, our home office features fields such as marketing, information technology, recruiting and more. And we all work toward one goal—making a better world for pets.

Supporting our clients means supporting our associates.
