Who we are

We’re Banfield. You’ve probably seen us around. We started in 1955 as a small practice with big ideas about preventive pet care. Now we’re the leading general veterinary care practice in America and we’d love to have you join our team.

We love pets. You know what else we love? Vets. We want to make sure our veterinarians feel supported so they can live their best lives AND practice medicine their own way. We do that by surrounding them with talented, passionate teammates and giving them amazing resources that help them stay fulfilled in and outside of work.

Banfield’s here for you so you can be there for pets!

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for veterinarians to add their passion, skills, and education to our team. We believe in hiring doctors with diverse perspectives, ideas, and cultures, and we support veterinarians who use their expertise in a way that benefits pets, clients, teams, and communities.

Whether you’re a recent graduate or an experienced veterinarian looking for a change, a new beginning at Banfield means an open door to explore the next best move in your professional career.

Role responsibilities

  • Provide furry, feathered, and scaled pets with the best possible care, especially preventive care

  • Work closely with teammates and cultivate a positive, dynamic work culture
  • Impact the future of veterinary medicine with your own expertise and ways of practicing medicine
