Job description

Associate Veterinarian - West Bountiful, UT (Greater Salt Lake Area)

$130,000 - $180,000 Base Salary + No Negative Accrual

GP Focused Clinic

Are you looking for the clinical variety of emergency medicine but the long-term relationships of general practice? At Animal Care Center of West Bountiful, we’ve found the sweet spot. We are a deeply community-rooted, Cat-Friendly Practice featuring a fully equipped, dedicated Rehab Center, making this an incredible opportunity for an experienced veterinarian looking to advance their passion for mobility, recovery, and high-quality care. Supported by a highly collaborative, knowledgeable team of experienced staff committed to a positive work environment, our doctors thrive on clinical complexity-from dentistry to in-house ultrasonography, surgery, and rewarding urgent care cases. Here, you will enjoy the best of both worlds: a genuine local feel, all while fueling your life outside the clinic with a consistent 4-day work week and absolutely no weekend hours or on-call shifts.

What You Get

• $130K-$180K Base Salary + Production with No Negative Accrual.
• The "No-Weekend" Advantage: We are open Monday-Friday only. Your weekends are 100% yours to explore the Wasatch Mountains or the “Mighty Five” National Parks.
• The “Support Flex”: Practice at the top of your license. We focus on a high technician-to-doctor ratio and knowledgeable support staff to ensure you are supported through every exam and surgery.
• Meant to Thrive Mentorship: A structured, one-year clinical and leadership program designed to sharpen your skills in a safe, collaborative environment.
• Comprehensive Benefits: 401(k) match, Lyra mental health support (24/7), student loan management, and continued career development.
• Up to $50,000 Sign-On Bonus + Industry-Leading Relocation Package

What You’ll Do

• Elite Clinical Standards: Uphold AAHA and Cat-Friendly standards in a modern, purpose-built environment.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Utilize high-volume digital dentistry and in-house ultrasonography to deliver top-tier patient outcomes and laparoscopy.
• Diverse Case Mix: Manage everything from routine wellness to urgent care cases that keep your skills sharp without the ER burnout.

The West Bountiful Lifestyle

Located in Woods Cross at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, we offer a "small-town" community feel with "big-city" access.

• 45 Minutes to world-class ski resorts.
• 5 Minutes to dog-friendly hiking and mountain biking trails.
• The #1 State: Work in the state ranked #1 in America by U.S. News, just 15 minutes from the urban amenities of Salt Lake City.
• Hours drive from the “Big Five” national parks!

Requirements

• DVM/VMD degree.
• Active (or pending) Utah Veterinary License.
• A passion for high-quality medicine, surgery, and dentistry.
• Collaborative mindset-you’re a "doctor’s doctor" who thrives in a team-first environment.
