HAPPY, HEALTHY PETS – Family-owned small animal clinic
Senior Vet Nurse - Business Manager | Fulltime | TUGGERANONG
At Our Vet, we're not your typical veterinary clinic, we're an independent family-owned network. We've built a supportive and welcoming environment where professionalism mixes with fun, teamwork, and a genuine love of animals. Our team is passionate about pets, dedicated to our clients, and always ready to support each other. Every detail of our clinics is designed with optimal pet care in mind, because we know just how important pets are to their families.
At Our Vet, you get the best of both worlds – the structure and support of an established network, with the freedom to shape your clinic your way. No corporate templates, no ownership headaches – just the autonomy to make your mark and the support to help you succeed.
Our clinics are co-located within our high-foot-traffic PetO specialty retail stores. A family-run Australian business, PetO was created in 2007 and has recently gone through a successful phase of expansion. This partnership provides our clients easy access to trusted pet care, grooming and retail under one roof. You are not just part of a team; you are part of a family.
