Job description:

Global Veterinary Careers is partnering with a well-established small animal hospital in the United States. The hospital is seeking a full-time Associate Veterinarian to join its compassionate and community-driven team. This is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys building long-term client relationships while practicing high-quality, personalised medicine.

The practice has deep roots within the local community, with a loyal, multi-generational client base and a strong reputation for delivering consistent, compassionate care. You will be joining a collaborative team that values communication, mutual support, and a positive working environment.

With a focus on clinical autonomy alongside strong mentorship, this role offers the freedom to practice medicine your way while still benefiting from guidance, shared knowledge, and a structured support system.

The Location:

This opportunity is based in a welcoming and family-friendly community that offers a strong sense of connection and quality of life. With a slower pace of living, access to outdoor activities, and a supportive local atmosphere, it’s an ideal setting for veterinarians looking to feel part of the community they serve.

· Competitive salary (typically in the range of $100k–$160k+) with production bonus
· Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance
· Flexible scheduling supporting strong work-life balance
· 401K with company match
· Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
· PTO and Paid Parental and Sick Days
· Continuing Education allowance with paid CE days
· Coverage for licenses, DEA, and professional dues
· Student loan support options
