About The Company
At Alliance Animal Health, we’re proud to be home to 225+ veterinary practices across the U.S., and we believe that the best medicine and the best culture start at the local level. That’s why we prioritize medical autonomy and support our veterinarians in making the decisions that matter most for your patients and your community. When a practice joins our network, the identity and leadership are maintained. Our role is to be a true partner, offering dedicated support in areas like recruitment, marketing, finance, and operations, so our veterinarians can stay focused on what they do best: caring for their patients.​ Whether you're just getting started in your career, growing in a central support role, or planning for practice ownership, we’re here with personalized pathways and a team that’s behind you the whole way. Our mission is simple: support those made to heal and care for animals while creating a place where veterinary professionals thrive. We build everything on a foundation of our core values: Passion, Engagement, Trust, and Service, a commitment that earned us a spot on Inc.’s Best Workplaces 2025. We’re proud to share that recognition with every member of our team.
About the Role

Company Description

Horizon Veterinary Specialists is a privately owned and rapidly growing, fast-paced emergency and specialty hospital located in beautiful Ventura, California. Horizon was founded in August of 2018 by five board certified veterinarians who want to inspire positive change in the veterinary community for their patients and for all the incredible professionals who dedicate themselves to veterinary medicine. With a state-of-the-art facility and a focus on positive, inclusive, and educational culture, the Horizon Partners have built a team of kind-hearted, dedicated, and motivated professionals to serve each other, our patients, and the community members of beautiful Ventura.  

Horizon’s emergency and critical care team provides services 24/7 to small animal patients of Ventura and the surrounding counties. Our emergency department supports walk- in emergencies as well as referrals from the primary veterinarian community.  We have a large, fully equipped, multi-unit ICU with a separate room for isolation and a room just for cats. Our emergency department team is fortunate to have access to internal medicine services six days a week, for supportive services and consultation.
