Berkeley Animal Hospital is a modern, privately owned small animal clinic that opened in June 2023. As a growing practice, we are building a strong, supportive team focused on high-quality medicine and compassionate care. Our 3,000 sq. ft. facility includes five exam rooms, a spacious treatment area, a dedicated dental and surgery suite, and Fear Free–focused patient accommodations. We also collaborate with mobile specialists in cardiology, internal medicine, and surgery, and offer integrative services such as acupuncture.

What We're Looking For:
- A positive, professional team player who contributes to a respectful workplace culture.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to give constructive feedback appropriately.
- Passion for veterinary medicine and animal welfare.
- Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.
- Comfortable using digital tools (Windows, Gmail, Google Drive; experience with IDEXX Neo is a plus, but we will train).
- Ability to stay adaptable in a growing and evolving practice.
Qualifications:
- High school diploma or GED required.
- Minimum 1 year of veterinary experience (required).
- Dental and anesthesia monitoring experience preferred.
Why Join Us?

- Supportive, team-oriented culture.
Benefits:
- Competitive hourly pay (based on experience).
- Health, dental, and retirement benefits (401k).
- Paid time off (PTO).
- Employee discounts.
Who You Are:
This role is ideal for someone who is:
- Reliable and proactive.
- Team-oriented and people-focused.
- Detail-driven and organized.
- Flexible and able to adapt.
- Looking for a long-term opportunity to grow in veterinary medicine.
