About: All located in Texas, the East Lake practice group offers a variety of internship, externship, and clerkship opportunities. Visa support is also available for international/PAVE candidates.

East Lake is a privately owned, independent practice consisting of East Lake Veterinary Hospital in Dallas, Texas, East Lake Cat Care Center, a feline exclusive facility, and East Lake Pet Orphanage, our 501(c)3 non-profit rescue branch of operations. Our multi-doctor-led practice is supported by a team of over 90 devoted care providers. East Lake makes a difference in the lives of pets and people 7 days a week.

Additionally, as a well-established practice offering a high level of care, East Lake is fortunate to have recently had the opportunity to expand operations with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art equine hospital and a separate small animal hospital of Center Ranch in Centerville, Texas. This facility has served 4 counties and has been a leader in equine medicine, surgery, and reproduction. The facilities are well appointed with high-level equipment and 111 oversized equine stalls. Additionally, round pens, large pastures, and ample riding areas span over 94 acres.

Why East Lake? East Lake fosters a positive culture, allowing students to develop in the areas where their interests are deepest. Our team works collaboratively and supports each other's professional growth. The combined experience of our group provides a wide array of surgeries and treatments for companion animals. East Lake's team works hard to make a difference in the lives of pets & people, so the company’s leadership works to take care of the team!
