Associate Veterinarian

A few years ago, we asked a question: what if pets with problems that can't wait - but don't belong in the ER - had somewhere great to go? And what if the people providing that care actually loved their jobs? Today the answer is Truss Vet, with five veterinary urgent care clinics across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, a growing community of doctors, and more on the way.

At Truss Vet, we're on a mission to elevate the human-animal bond by removing barriers to compassionate, high- quality veterinary care. Our urgent care clinics are built for pets with non-life-threatening issues that don't belong in the ER but can't wait for a regular vet visit. The sweet spot between general practice and emergency care. We deliver exceptional medical outcomes while ensuring a better quality of life for our team. Yes, both. That's the whole point.

Here's where you come in: as a veterinarian at Truss Vet, you're more than a doctor. You're a clinical and cultural leader who sets the tone for patient care, client experience, and team well-being. You'll:

• Practice the highest standards of medicine while embracing a growth mindset.
• Foster a collaborative, fun, work-hard/play-hard team environment.
• Exceed client expectations with empathy, professionalism, and a touch of humanity.
• Help shape the culture and care standards of a clinic that's quickly becoming a standout in the industry.

We're a young organization, which means there's tons of room to innovate, build, and leave your mark. Whether you're looking for the thrill of startup energy or the stability of a growing organization, Truss Vet offers both. You'll be joining a team that's passionate, supportive, and determined to make a difference for pets, their people, and each other.

A little bit about our clinic:

For too long, veterinary hospitals have been off the beaten path, sequestered to old strip centers, or simply too hard to find. Pets have become family members, so why shouldn't veterinary clinics be located where family members shop, work, and dine? And why shouldn't veterinary teams get to work in beautiful, safe, and vibrant locations?

We're outfitting the facility with brand new, industry-leading equipment (IDEXX CBC/chemistry, automated fecal/UA, digital cytology, and on-site enzyme analysis), IDEXX digital radiography, ultrasound, fully cloud-based and mobile technology solutions, and a modern aesthetic reflective of today's best healthcare environments

Our Fear-Free clinic will include a command center, dedicated feline exam room, comfort room, respite/breastfeeding room, staff break room, radiology suite, and a spacious treatment area

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary, no negative accrual
• Health/vision/dental insurance
• Short- and long-term disability coverage, life insurance
• 3 weeks PTO plus 5 holidays for full-time doctors
• A generous CE stipend with guaranteed coverage for 1 major conference per year

• No boarding, grooming, or on-call!

Truss Vet Core Values Statements:

Dare to Care: Doing what is easy isn't always right. Doing what is right isn't always easy. So we show up. We give a sh!t. Even when clients don't deserve our best, even when a conversation is uncomfortable, we approach situations with courage, empathy, and authenticity. "We care enough to have tough conversations and we handle tough conversations with care."

The Details Matter: Our standards are reflected in every detail, and those details matter. The client will never forget the hug you gave when they said goodbye to their best friend. That blanket may mean the difference between an hour of comfort for a pet versus an hour of fear. The smell or site of a dirty rug may mean the difference between a great first impression versus skepticism of our entire team.

Truss One Another: To be accountable to the success of the team means we're accountable to the success of each other. We have our teammates' backs. We catch each other's' mistakes. We challenge each other to improve and be the best versions of ourselves.

Bowl Half Full: Your dog doesn't go through life believing his bowl is half-empty. We see the good in others and in each other, we see opportunities in challenges, we meet discomfort with good humor, and when we find closed doors, we kick them open or make new ones.

Sound like your kind of place? Join a team that's passionate, positive, and committed to shaping the future of veterinary medicine for pets, their people, and each other.
