Job Description

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Competitive compensation: Earn $140,000–$160,000 annually, with salary negotiable based on experience.

• Sign-on opportunity: Sign-on bonus of up to $40,000.

• Lead an established team: Work alongside two full-time associate veterinarians and experienced support staff.

• Practice high-quality medicine: Join an AAHA-accredited hospital committed to high standards of patient care and safety.

What You'll Find Here

This well-established small animal hospital features an updated facility equipped for modern veterinary medicine. Its AAHA accreditation reflects a commitment to medical excellence, patient safety, and consistent standards of care.

The hospital has a collaborative team of doctors and long-tenured support staff who value teamwork, work-life balance, and a family-oriented workplace culture. While small animal medicine is the primary focus, the practice also sees a limited number of exotic patients and welcomes interest in growing that service.
