About Heartstrings Pet Hospice

Heartstrings Pet Hospice is a privately owned, rapidly growing in-home euthanasia and end-of-life care practice founded on our core values of Compassion, Dignity, and Respect. Unlike corporate or private‑equity‑backed organizations, our focus is on people—our families, our patients, and our medical team. We are expanding into Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Del City, Mustang & surrounding area and we are seeking exceptional Associate Veterinarians who want to practice meaningful medicine in a supportive, values-driven environment.

At Heartstrings, you will never be asked to sign a non‑compete agreement.

Position Overview

As an Associate Veterinarian with Heartstrings Pet Hospice, you will provide compassionate, gentle in‑home euthanasia, hospice, and palliative care. You'll work independently in the field while being fully supported by a collaborative medical leadership team, dedicated Veterinary Care Specialists (VCS), and strong operational infrastructure.

This role offers flexibility, autonomy, emotional fulfillment, and a low‑stress medical environment, allowing you to focus on what matters most—supporting pets and families during life's most meaningful moments.

Why Heartstrings?

• Direct access to leadership and medical decision‑makers
• No private equity or volume‑driven pressure
• A collaborative, family‑centered culture
• Your voice matters—clinically and professionally

• Full‑time and part‑time opportunities
• Thoughtfully scheduled appointments
• No clinic chaos, no double‑booking
• Autonomy over your workday

• Every visit is centered on comfort, compassion, and dignity—for pets and the people who love them.

Key Responsibilities

• Support families through the end‑of‑life process with empathy, patience, and professionalism
• Maintain accurate and timely medical documentation
• Collaborate with Heartstrings' medical leadership and support teams
• Participate in ongoing training, education, and clinical development

Ideal Candidate

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and client‑focused
• Comfortable working independently in the field
• Strong communicator during emotionally sensitive situations
• Seeking meaningful, purpose‑driven veterinary work
• Values autonomy, flexibility, and a supportive team environment
• Interested in a long‑term role with a privately owned practice

Experience in hospice, palliative care, or Fear‑Free certification is a plus—but not required. Comprehensive training is provided.

Requirements

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM, VMD, or BVMS) from an accredited veterinary school
• Active (or ability to obtain) veterinary license in the state of practice
• Must possess a valid U.S. driver's license
• Availability to work some weekends as part of a rotating schedule
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs unassisted and up to 100 lbs with assistance
• Candidates will be subject to a background check and motor vehicle record (MVR) check post‑hire and prior to their associated start date
• Provide in‑home euthanasia and hospice care for geriatric and terminally ill pets
• Guide families in making end‑of‑life decisions for their pets
• Build relationships with local veterinary clinics, serving as an extension of their excellent care

Benefits

• No non‑compete agreement
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Short‑term and long‑term disability
• Paid time off
• DEA reimbursement
• State veterinary license reimbursement (including multi‑state coverage when applicable)
• Access to VetGirlU

• All medical equipment, medications, and supplies provided
• Strong administrative, scheduling, and on‑call leadership support
• Growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding, privately owned practice
