Careers at Honor Pet
Death has no do-overs, which is why end-of-life medicine deserves its own discipline and the support to do it well.
We're hiring an end-of-life veterinarian who is ready to show up fully for the families who need this care most. You'll see families in their homes and in our Comfort Center, doing work that is meaningful and yours to own.
How we end life is just as important as how we extend it.
Your compensation is based on the appointment availability you offer, not the number that actually get scheduled. Build your availability around what genuinely works for your life, and let the calculator below show your salary.
Schedules require a minimum of 10 appointment availabilities per week. Different days and times carry different rates, with evenings and weekends compensated the highest. Appointments are scheduled in 2-hour blocks, allowing for one hour in-home and up to one hour for travel between appointments (i.e., if you select 9:00 AM, your next available window would be 11:00 AM).

Honor Pet is the nation's first purpose-built veterinary practice to offer everything families need for end-of-life care under one roof. Our 10,000 sq ft Comfort Center in Downtown LA's Arts District brings together pre-planning, in-home and in-center euthanasia, water cremation, memorial services, and professional grief support with our licensed social worker.
Whether you've always known end-of-life medicine was your calling, or you're ready to go deeper into the work that moves you most, this is the place to do it well.

In-homeWhat we bring to the table, and what you'll help shape when you join us.
Co-founded by Dr. Shea Cox, Honor Pet is the first practice built specifically for end-of-life veterinary care. We're at the leading edge of an emerging specialty. This is an opportunity to help move the industry forward, challenge old norms, and define what this care can and should look like.
Most veterinary environments optimize for volume. We optimize for depth. Appointments are unhurried by design because this work depends on time. Sustainable schedules, day-based pay not tied to volume. We recognize that our team's wellbeing matters as much as the families we serve.
No prior end-of-life experience required. We provide structured onboarding and ongoing clinical training. You bring the skills and the heart. We'll support you every step of the way.
Have a good idea? Let's build it. This is a culture of collaboration and creativity where good ideas get legs.
Built for the kind of career that sustains you, in and out of the field.
Full coverage options for you and your family.
Contribute to our company 401(k) plan and a health savings account to support your financial wellbeing.
Time and funding set aside for continuing education. We support your professional growth.
4.5 weeks PTO for veterinarians working four days a week.
As Honor Pet grows, so do the opportunities within it. Leadership pathways and equity ownership are part of how we build together.
From water cremation and all-electric vehicles to a Comfort Center built with reclaimed materials, sustainability is woven into how we operate, not bolted on as a talking point.
If you're a veterinarian with the clinical skills and the heart for this kind of care, I'd love to talk. Honor Pet is building something meaningful, and the people who join us help shape what it becomes.
