A Mission Rooted in Compassion and Collaboration

At Embrace Vet Care, our mission goes beyond providing excellent medical care—it’s about fostering trust, building community, and ensuring that both pets and people feel supported. Founded by Dr. Sandy Jernigan, our practice is built on mutual respect, collaboration, and a passion for educating clients about their pets’ health.

We believe that when pet owners are empowered with knowledge, they can make confident decisions that lead to better health outcomes and deeper bonds with their pets.

Our purpose is twofold

To create a sustainable, fulfilling workplace for our staff and to offer compassionate, patient-centered care for our clients.

By prioritizing staff well-being and strong relationships with clients, we aim to redefine what a veterinary clinic can be. This means taking the time to understand every pet’s unique needs, fostering open communication, and providing continuity of care that builds trust over a lifetime.

“Pets can’t often verbalize their discomfort,” explains Dr. Jernigan. “It’s my job to be their advocate—to identify what pain, nausea, or stress looks like and stop the cycle of discomfort or disease rather than just treating the symptoms.”
