When you’re growing a company, its leaders and teams need to maintain the culture that made it special in the first place. For VEG ER for Pets, earning the Great Place To Work Certification™ for 2027 is one way to measure just that. 

The recognition is based entirely on feedback from current employees, aka VEGgies, about their experience at work. When surveyed, 83% said VEG is a great place to work; at typical U.S. companies, that number is just 53%, which makes the certification especially meaningful.  

VEG keeps culture close to heart, as it continues to expand its emergency veterinary hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada. 

And it shows. 

VEG invests in a robust culture built around the company’s core values of togetherness, openness, heroic helping, and meaningful moments. And it’s not just company jargon. VEGgies are encouraged to act and serve as a team, whether it’s through intense collaboration during a pet’s ER care or through a morning huddle talk that inspires and sets the tone of the day. 

VEG ER for Pets has reimagined the emergency experience for pets, their parents, and its employees, sportively called VEGgies. It's no wonder VEG has earned Great Place to Work Certification™ three years in a row!

The floor plan at every VEG hospital is open concept, allowing full view of emergency treatment. That transparency spills over all communications between VEGgies and their customers. What’s more, servant leadership isn’t just for the company’s leaders; helping each other through good times and challenges is baked into VEG’s ethos. 

“We’re honored to be Great Place to Work-Certified™ for the third year in a row,” said VEG Founder and CEO Dr. David Bessler. “As we continue to grow, earning this certification year after year shows we’re staying true to the culture that sets VEG apart and makes our people feel supported, empowered, and proud of where they work.”

Great Place To Work® is a global authority on workplace culture and employee experience, with its Certification™ determined by real-time employee feedback. More than 10,000 companies across 60 countries apply for certification each year. Says Sarah Lewis-Kuliin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place to Work: “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that VEG ER for Pets stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.” 

For VEG, the recognition reinforces a simple idea: growth isn’t only about opening more hospitals. It’s also about creating a place where VEGgies can build lasting veterinary careers, grow in unexpected ways, so they can continue its mission: helping people and their pets when they need it most.
