Compassion for pets, people and our environment
Encore Vet Group is on a mission to create and get involved in programs that benefit the health and wellbeing of our communities, people, and pets. Each year, we plan to contribute more to create a sustainable future and make the world better for people and their pets.

Supporting our local communities

From hosting food drives, adopting families for the holidays, to teaching younger generations about the veterinary profession, our teams love giving back and getting involved.

Our love for pets

We love pets and not just the ones inside the doors of our hospitals. We support countless local animal organizations and contribute funds, goods and services to pets in need around our communities.

Caring for our environment

We take responsibility for the impact we make on our environment. We continue to make improvements to reduce our energy consumption and increase our recycling efforts. Using paperless records, LED lighting, recycling, and cleaning up the community are just a few ways our teams contribute to protecting the environment every year.

Making an impact in our profession
![long-dotted-yellow-line long-dotted-yellow-line](https://encorevet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/long-dotted-yellow-line.png)
The veterinary profession faces compassion fatigue challenges with the burden of student debt being piled on top. We've dedicated free resources and mentors to veterinary schools to help prepare students for life after vet school. In addition, Encore Vet Group is committed to helping our team members pay back their student debt, provide training and support for compassion fatigue and offer great benefits that help our people live happier, more fulfilling lives.
