Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

Job Description

Want a role that combines the relationships of general practice with the variety of urgent care?

This full-time opportunity in the greater Tampa Bay region offers a mix of everyday veterinary care and more immediate medical needs, with opportunities to treat companion animals as well as smaller nontraditional pets. If you enjoy following patients over time but also want variety in your clinical day, this could be worth a closer look.

Compensation includes a base salary plus production, without negative accrual. You'll also have access to professional development resources and a benefits package designed to support you beyond the exam room.

What You'll Find Here 

• A varied clinical day: Balance preventive appointments and ongoing patient care with urgent medical concerns.

• Build client trust over time: Help families make informed decisions and become a consistent resource for their pets' health.

• Use your clinical judgment: Manage cases while having opportunities to collaborate with other veterinary professionals.

• Broaden your experience: Care for traditional companion animals and smaller exotic or pocket pets.

• Keep growing: Access continuing education and mentorship resources to support your professional development.

• Know how compensation works: Earn through a base-plus-production model with no negative accrual.

What You'll Be Doing 

This is a primary care setting with an urgent care component. The caseload includes dogs, cats, and select small exotic pets, with a combination of preventive medicine, routine appointments, and urgent medical evaluations.

Who Might Love This

This role may suit an experienced veterinarian who enjoys client relationships but doesn't want every day to look the same. It could also appeal to a clinician interested in expanding their experience with urgent cases or smaller exotic species. A DVM/VMD or equivalent degree, appropriate state licensure, and a DEA license or eligibility are required.
