Associate Veterinarian – General Practice

Dallas–Fort Worth Metro, Texas
$115,000–$175,000 | Full-Time

Looking for a general practice where you can see a varied caseload, continue developing your skills, and work with a collaborative team that values quality medicine?

DVM Focus is recruiting an Associate Veterinarian for an established small animal practice in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area. This opportunity offers a broad general practice caseload, experienced team support, mentorship, and room to continue developing your medical and surgical interests.

Experienced veterinarians and newer DVMs are both encouraged to explore the opportunity.

What You’ll Do

Your caseload may include:

• Wellness and preventive medicine
• General medical care
• Diagnostic workups and case management
• Routine surgery
• Dentistry
• Same-day sick visits
• Senior patient care
• Client education and communication
• Collaboration with veterinarians and support staff

You’ll have the opportunity to practice comprehensive small animal medicine while continuing to build the areas of veterinary medicine that interest you most.

What They’re Looking For

• DVM, VMD, or equivalent veterinary degree
• Active Texas veterinary license or ability to obtain one
• Strong communication and client-service skills
• Collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care
• Commitment to compassionate, high-quality veterinary medicine
• Interest in continued learning and professional development

New graduates are welcome, and mentorship is available.

Compensation & Benefits

Market-based compensation range: $115,000–$175,000, depending on experience, qualifications, schedule, clinical skill set, and compensation structure.

The overall opportunity may also include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Continuing education allowance
• Professional dues and licensing support

Why This One Is Worth a Conversation

This opportunity gives you the breadth of general practice with a team and caseload that can support continued clinical growth.

For a newer DVM, there is mentorship and the opportunity to build confidence across medicine and surgery. For an experienced veterinarian, there is room to bring established skills while continuing to expand professionally.

The Dallas–Fort Worth area also gives you a wide range of living options, from city neighborhoods to quieter suburban communities, without limiting your career options to a smaller veterinary market.

DVM Focus will walk you through the practice, schedule, compensation structure, team, and expectations before an introduction is made so you can decide whether the opportunity actually aligns with what you want.
