We’re looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our experienced, collaborative team in Sacramento.

• A community-driven culture, including local events inspired by a longtime team member who founded a nonprofit helping shelter dogs find forever homes.
• A team grounded in shared values, working together, staying curious, speaking up, and looking for better ways to care for pets, support clients, and help one another.
• A place where pets care for us too, courtesy of Toe Beans, our attention‑seeking, beloved clinic cat who makes sure no one goes too long without a visit.

What Better Care means for you:

• $160,000 to $180,000 base salary plus uncapped production bonus with no negative accrual
• Sign-on bonus and relocation support for qualified candidates
• Annual CE allowance plus paid CE time
