Job description

Associate Veterinarian | $120,000-$140,000 | Career Growth | Providence RI

The Best Part of Veterinary Medicine Isn't Always the Medicine.

Sometimes it's the client who trusts you with every pet they'll ever own.

The nervous first-time puppy owner who comes back years later with their second dog.

The family who calls because they know you'll take the time to listen.

The senior pet you've cared for through every stage of life.

Those relationships matter.

At Providence River Animal Hospital, we've built our practice around them.

Located in Providence's vibrant Jewelry District, we're a community-focused hospital where strong client relationships, thoughtful medicine, and genuine teamwork go hand in hand.
