Free Veterinary Practice Org Chart Template
A veterinary practice splits into a clinical track (vets, vet techs, vet assistants) and a client services track (front desk, kennel, billing). Both report to the Veterinarian-Owner or, in larger practices, a Practice Manager who reports to the owner.

Frequently asked questions
How is a veterinary org chart structured?
A typical practice has the Veterinarian-Owner at the top with a Practice Manager handling business operations and a Lead LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician) handling the clinical floor. Vet assistants, kennel staff, and client service reps sit one level below.
When does a vet practice need a practice manager?
Once a single location passes about 1 million in revenue or 12-plus staff, the owner cannot keep doing both clinical work and operations. A dedicated Practice Manager unlocks another 25 to 40 percent of veterinarian chair time.
How does specialty (ER or surgery) differ from general practice?
ER and specialty hospitals add a Medical Director above the veterinarians who handles case oversight, peer review, and clinical protocols. They also typically run shift teams (day, swing, overnight) instead of a flat clinical staff.
