Team Member Quote
"I have been with LePar Animal Hospital for over three years. LePar has undoubtedly been the greatest work environment I have encountered in my career. As a pet groomer, it is hard to find a job with health benefits, excellent pay, retirement benefits, AND provides a positive work environment. In my position, I was given guidance and direction while still being afforded autonomy and independence. When discussing any concerns or questions, management and the owners at LePar have always been willing to listen and offer assistance. From the technicians, to the reception staff, to the doctors, to management, LePar has the greatest staff I have had the pleasure of working with." -- LePar Dog Daycare and Grooming Team Member
