Job Description

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Looking for a veterinary role where mentorship, work-life balance, and quality medicine truly matter? This opportunity offers a welcoming, collaborative environment where veterinarians are encouraged to grow, build confidence, and develop meaningful client relationships.

You'll join a supportive small animal practice with an experienced veterinary team, a thoughtful appointment schedule, and the opportunity to practice medicine without feeling rushed. New graduates and veterinarians seeking a more supportive work environment are encouraged to apply.

What You'll Find Here

• Established small animal practice with a loyal client base

• Supportive team culture and hands-on mentorship

• 30-minute appointments for wellness and sick visits

Compensation + Schedule

• Base salary: $115,000–$130,000 annually

• Up to $50,000 sign-on bonus package

• Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM

• No weekends

• No after-hours or on-call responsibilities

• Flexible scheduling and unlimited personal time

• Relocation assistance available

What You'll Do

Provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for companion animals, including preventive care, diagnostics, internal medicine, dentistry, and general surgery. You'll educate pet owners, develop treatment plans, maintain accurate medical records, and build lasting relationships with clients while collaborating with a supportive veterinary team.

What You Bring

• DVM or VMD degree from an AVMA-accredited program

• Michigan veterinary license (or eligibility)

• DEA licensure (or eligibility)

• Strong communication and client relationship skills

• Commitment to compassionate, high-quality patient care

• Interest in mentorship, professional development, and teamwork

Benefits
