Job description

We’re Animal Medical Center, a locally owned companion animal practice serving the Frankfort, Kentucky, community with integrity, compassion, and a healthy dose of practicality. We’re looking to add an associate veterinarian who values good medicine, mutual respect, and being part of a team that truly shows up for one another.

This is more than just a position—it’s a chance to join a stable, supportive practice where your skills are respected and your growth is encouraged.

Who We Are
Located on Versailles Road, we’re a general practice that handles a steady mix of wellness, medical, and surgical cases. Our team is experienced, kind, and committed to doing right by our patients and clients. We work hard, communicate well, and keep things running smoothly so no one leaves the day feeling burned out.

We’re proud to be part of the Frankfort community—and proud of the clinic culture we’ve built: low drama, high trust, and genuine collaboration.

Who You Might Be

• A new grad looking for mentorship in a real-world, supportive setting
• Or an experienced DVM who wants to practice without corporate interference
• Someone who values clear communication, steady teamwork, and lifelong learning
• A good problem-solver who can stay calm under pressure
• Interested in general practice and routine surgery, but open to exploring new areas of focus

Why Frankfort?
Frankfort offers the best of both worlds—quiet, small-town living with easy access to Lexington and Louisville—several of our staff commute from Georgetown, Lexington, and other surrounding areas with ease. Whether you’re into hiking, bourbon trails, coffee shops, or avoiding traffic, there’s much to appreciate here. Our location on Versailles Road keeps us close to the heart of town, but just far enough for easy parking and room to grow.

What We Offer

• Salaried position – guaranteed income, no pressure from production-based pay
  • Starting salary for new grads: $100,000+,
  • Salary is highly negotiable based on experience
• Health insurance and paid time off to support work-life balance
• Employee discounts for your own pets
• Continuing Education: $1,500 allowance + 3 CE days
• Licenses & Dues: All professional licenses and association dues paid
• A schedule that respects your time and priorities
• Structured mentorship for new grads and autonomy for experienced vets
• A team that has each other’s backs—always

We’re not in a rush—but we’re ready when the right person comes along.
