Veterinary System Services was founded in 2014 on a simple belief: staffing works better when the people running it have actually worked inside veterinary medicine. A decade later, that’s still how we operate.
Established 2014 · Colorado-founded · American Staffing Association member · Certified Staffing Professionals on staff
VSS began in Colorado in 2014 with a focus on one persistent problem in veterinary medicine: practices need skilled, reliable coverage, and skilled professionals need work that respects their lives. Most staffing agencies treat both sides as transactions. We built VSS to treat them as relationships.
Today, VSS provides veterinary relief staffing, relief employment opportunities, and Veterinary Consulting Services to practices in nine states: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Texas, all still managed from our Colorado headquarters. Our professionals are W-2 employees — insured, supported, and invested in — and our client practices work with a team that understands their operations from the inside.
That inside understanding isn’t a slogan. It’s the resume of everyone you’ll meet below.
Our team’s backgrounds span animal hospitals, referral and emergency practices, and veterinary operations. We’ve lived the environments we staff.
VSS team members hold Certified Staffing Professional credentials through the American Staffing Association — the industry’s standard for legal and ethical staffing expertise.
Our professionals are W-2 employees with real benefits, and our clients get matches made by people who know them. Nobody is a line in a database.
Brad’s path to founding VSS runs through nearly every corner of the veterinary world. He volunteered for five years with the Denver Dumb Friends League, spent countless hours as a training volunteer for search and rescue and police dogs, and worked his way through college cleaning kennels at a small three-doctor practice.
Brad earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Metropolitan State University of Denver, where he was awarded a fellowship with the US West Center for Business Success — working directly with growing companies on the challenges of scaling. From there, he built his operations expertise as an inventory manager, first in high-volume retail. Then, where it mattered most, he spent nearly ten years managing inventory for one of Colorado’s largest animal hospitals.
Keeping a 24/7, multi-location practice stocked, supporting more than 25 doctors, orchestrating multi-million dollar supplier bids, and keeping costs low — that’s the operational reality Brad lived before founding VSS in 2014. It’s why VSS understands what practices actually need from a staffing partner: because its founder has been on the other side of the equation.
VSS maintains active membership in the American Staffing Association, and our team includes multiple Certified Staffing Professionals — the ASA’s credential for expertise in labor law, ethics, and staffing best practices.
