Job description

We are looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join a well-established small animal practice that has been part of its local community for more than three decades in Metro Detroit, MI. This is a clinic where relationships really matter with clients, patients and, just as importantly, with the people you work alongside.

The hospital has built a reputation for providing compassionate, accessible veterinary care in a busy, community-focused setting. You’ll see a varied caseload spanning preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry and general practice, with the support of an experienced DVM and technician team around you.

With an average of 16–18 patients per DVM each day and a strong 2–3 technician-to-DVM support ratio, you’ll have the opportunity to stay busy without feeling like you’re doing everything alone. The team values practical medicine, collaboration and finding the right solution for each client and patient.

If you’re a veterinarian who enjoys hands‑on medicine, surgery, client relationships and making a tangible difference, this could be a really interesting next step.

Key Highlights:

• Join an established small animal GP hospital with 32+ years of community roots
• Average caseload of 16–18 patients per DVM, per day
• Excellent 2–3 support staff per DVM, allowing you to focus on medicine and patient care
• Varied caseload including wellness, surgery, dentistry and general practice
• Medical autonomy and the ability to provide a spectrum of care appropriate to each client and patient
• Collaborative, experienced 2 doctor team with engaged practice leadership
• Opportunities to develop your skills
• Flexible scheduling designed to support a healthy work-life balance

About You:

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) Degree
• Hold a Michigan State License or have the ability to obtain one
• Confident performing surgery and comfortable working within a busy GP environment
• Passionate about community-focused veterinary medicine and building lasting client relationships
• A strong communicator who can educate clients and work collaboratively with the wider team
• Practical, adaptable and motivated to make a meaningful difference for pets and their families
• $140,000 base salary + production, with additional earning potential
• Paid professional licences
• 120 hours PTO
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match
• Sign-on bonus/ relocation assistance available
• Comprehensive employee benefits including health, dental, vision and life insurance, plus mental health resources and student loan assistance
• Development programmes, mentorship and career progression opportunities
