Reimagine the veterinary industry
with us
Our Company
Small Door is membership-based veterinary care designed with human standards that is better for pets, pet parents, and veterinarians alike. We designed and delivered a reimagined veterinary experience via a membership that includes exceptional care, 24/7 telemedicine, and transparent pricing - delivered with modern hospitality in spaces designed by animal experts to be stress-free. We opened our flagship location in Manhattan's West Village in 2020, followed by multiple practices in the city and Brooklyn. Small Door reached a milestone in 2023 by opening in new markets across the Northeast, with 2 practices in Boston and 3 practices in Washington, DC.
Our Practices
We opened our first practice in October 2019, located in the West Village of Manhattan. Since then, we have opened 4 more NYC locations to include Gramercy, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Williamsburg (Brooklyn). In Boston, we currently have 2 locations in Newton Centre and Brookline, and in DC we have 4 locations in Navy Yard, 14th St, Spring Valley and Bethesda!
Our Growth
In addition to our 5 practices in NYC, Small Door has recently expanded into two new regions (Boston and DC). We now have 11 practices between our three markets, and we are excited at the opportunity to continue growing in the future!

“I had the pleasure of a strong professional community and jovial teammates walking into the Small Door environment. Appreciating that everyone has their own strong suits and taking time to learn from each others’ strengths became an enriching experience. I cherish the acknowledgment, validation, and the work and life balance I achieved from being here.”
“After 34 years in the profession as a veterinarian, it is refreshing to work for an organization that values transparency and gives every employee a voice to enact positive change. The most important thing to me though is knowing that I am truly appreciated as a doctor. Many places like to think that they value their employees, but fall short on the playing field. Small Door really walks the walk when it comes to this issue.”
“I enjoy working for a company that truly wants to see you succeed and help you grow in your career. I started in one position and quickly learned what about my job I enjoyed doing the most. With the support of my manager, I was able to grow into a position that allowed me to develop my leadership skills. ”
“Small Door has built such an amazing work culture. Everyone works so well together and develops a family like environment in their own practice. It’s so refreshing to work at a place that strives to provide the highest standard of care possible, while still having the staff’s well-being (both physically and mentally) in mind. While working at SD I’ve been able to grow in my personal career as well as being in a position to assist others to elevate their own career.”
