Animal Hospital of Lawrence | Lawrence, Kansas

Join our well-established practice with a great team and a thoughtful approach to veterinary medicine.

Animal Hospital of Lawrence is looking for a full-time or part-time Associate Veterinarian to join our growing team. Our AAHA-accredited small animal practice has been part of the Lawrence community for more than 50 years, with a loyal client base that includes families who travel from surrounding communities because they value the personal, honest care we provide.

Why Join Animal Hospital of Lawrence?

You’ll find an experienced team, long-term staff, and a genuinely relaxed work environment. Our low turnover means you’ll work alongside people who know the practice, clients, and patients well—and who enjoy working together.

There’s also room to grow your skill set and develop interests in acupuncture, homeopathic and other complementary therapies, along with surgery, dentistry, and medicine.

The hospital offers individualized care and a thoughtful spectrum-of-care approach in a well-equipped 3,500-square-foot facility with four exam rooms and room to expand as the practice continues to grow.
