Job description

Love veterinary medicine, but want a life outside of it too? Klein Animal Clinic is looking for a compassionate DVM to join our privately owned, AAHA-accredited small animal practice in Bettendorf, Iowa. Here, you’ll have the time, tools, and support to practice the kind of medicine you’re proud of-without sacrificing your personal life. Enjoy a 4-day workweek, no on-call hours, flexible rotating Saturdays, and an experienced support team with a 3.5:1 staff-to-doctor ratio, all in a modern facility equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, dental radiography, surgery and dental suites, an integrated IDEXX lab, Cubex pharmacy, electronic medical records with AI assisted SOAP notes and more. New graduate? We’d love to mentor you. Experienced DVM? Come enjoy the freedom and personal connection of an independent practice, with a potential path to ownership for the right person. We offer competitive base salary plus production with no negative accrual, three weeks of PTO in your first year, health insurance, CE allowance, AVMA and IVMA dues, licensing and PLIT coverage, 401(k) with 3% match, pet care discounts, and a negotiable sign-on/relocation bonus. Most importantly, we’re a team that believes great veterinary medicine starts with taking care of the people who provide it. If you’re ready to enjoy practicing veterinary medicine again, we’d love to meet you.

The ideal candidate will hold a valid DVM license or equivalent and be excited to bring their skills, compassion, and personality to our team. We’re looking for a veterinarian who is passionate about providing high-quality, proactive medicine while building trusted relationships with clients and their pets. Strong communication, sound clinical judgment, empathy, and kindness are essential. Just as important, we want a positive, collaborative team player who values their coworkers and is ready to become part of our fun, friendly, and supportive clinic culture. If you’re looking for a practice where you can do great medicine, enjoy coming to work, and feel like a valued member of the team, we’d love to meet you.
