Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

Job Description

Location: Omaha, NE
Practice: Western Hills Pet Hospital

About Us: At Western Hills Pet Hospital, we believe in high-quality medicine, genuine client relationships, and a supportive team environment. Our thriving 3-doctor practice has proudly served the Omaha community for 9 years. We prioritize collaboration, modern medical standards, and true Midwest work-life balance so our team can thrive both inside and outside the clinic.

The Opportunity: We are looking for a forward-thinking veterinarian to join our collaborative, 3-doctor team in Omaha. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner looking for your forever clinic home, or a motivated new graduate looking for structured mentorship, this role offers a rare path to practice ownership. While you will start as an Associate Veterinarian,  our ideal candidate is someone interested in buying into the clinic within 5 years . We are fully prepared to mentor you in both medicine and business operations to set you up for a successful equity partnership.

What You’ll Do:

• Practice Quality Medicine: Deliver exceptional preventative, medical, and surgical care to Omaha's companion animals.
• Collaborate: Work alongside our 3 experienced doctors and highly leveraged support staff.
• Grow Your Skills: Benefit from strong mentorship (if a new grad) or bring fresh insights to our team (if experienced).
• Prepare for Ownership: Gradually learn the business operations, inventory management, and financial metrics of running a successful local practice.

What You’ll Bring:

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM/VMD) degree, and an active license (or eligibility) in Nebraska.
• Open to all experience levels—from passionate new graduates to established vets.
• An entrepreneurial spirit with a long-term goal of practice ownership or equity partnership.
• High emotional intelligence and strong communication skills.

Compensation & Benefits: We offer a highly competitive and transparent package designed to match the Omaha market, support your current lifestyle, and build future wealth:

• Partnership Track: 5-year pathway to equity and clinic buy-in.
• Mentorship Program: Structured, hands-on guidance for new graduates tailored to your confidence level.
• Continuing Education: Generous CE allowance.
• Time Off: 3 weeks of paid time off (PTO) annually.
• Healthcare & Retirement: QSEHRA medical, dental, and vision insurance reimbursement up to $500 per month alongside a 401(k) with employer match.
• Dues & Licensing: Nebraska state license, DEA, PLIT, and NVMA dues 100% covered.
