Meet Instinct 👋

Instinct Science is an animal health software company that helps the world’s leading veterinary practices deliver exceptional patient care, improve staff efficiency, and minimize team stress and burnout. Our easy-to-use EMR platform acts as the nerve center for veterinarians, veterinary nurses, and support staff alike, fostering seamless collaboration across teams. With our January 2024 acquisition of VetMedux, a company providing trusted education (Clinician’s Brief) and clinical decision support (Standards of Care™, Plumb's) for veterinarians, Instinct has strengthened our commitment to delivering the mission-critical tools veterinary practices need to care for their patients at the highest level and with the best outcomes.

We’re fueled by compassion! Our team, our customers, and their patients and animal owners matter immensely to us. We put the Customer First; Act with Grace, Not Teeth; Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons; and know that Excellence is in our DNA.

If these values speak to you, you might be a good fit for our Account Executive - Practice Systems job opening.
