We serve a diverse and growing client base, united by one common goal: putting pets first. Each year, we help more than 25,000 pet parents access high-quality, affordable care for the animals they love most.

If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to have you join us. Great pets deserve great doctors—and we're always looking for exceptional veterinarians to be part of our mission.

Want a better quality of life without sacrificing pay? Do you like the surgery but the rooms...not so much?

Why join our team:

• Consistent 4-day work week.
• Competitive base salary of $165,000–$180,000, plus production-based compensation and comprehensive benefits!
• Focus exclusively on surgery, including spays, neuters, dentals, mass removals, and other soft tissue procedures.
• Enjoy practicing surgery without the demands of general practice—no exam rooms, wellness appointments, extensive workups, or complicated treatment plans.
• Work alongside a highly skilled nursing team utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and modern surgical facilities.
• Join a well-established, privately owned, and rapidly growing organization with multiple Arizona locations and continued expansion on the horizon.
• Every veterinarian is supported by a dedicated team of four experienced technicians, allowing you to focus on providing exceptional patient care.

Perfect for the Veterinarian who:

• Loves surgery and wants to focus on patient care rather than client sales and treatment-plan negotiations.
• Is ready to step away from chronic case management and the challenges of ongoing compliance issues.
• Values a predictable schedule and a healthier work-life balance.
• Wants to increase their earning potential without sacrificing time with family and the people who matter most.
• Thrives in a fast-paced surgical environment or is excited to develop the skills needed to perform 14–17 procedures per day.
• Enjoys working closely with a small, collaborative team where everyone contributes and supports one another.
• Wants the stability of an established, growing organization with the resources, equipment, and leadership to help them succeed.
• Is passionate about surgery and eager to spend more time doing what they love and less time dealing with the frustrations often associated with traditional general practice.
