Horizon Veterinary Specialists is a privately owned, rapidly growing emergency and specialty hospital located along California’s stunning coastline.

Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with advanced medical technology, including endoscopic equipment and a high-quality ultrasound unit, allowing our team to practice at the highest level of care. Just as important, we are deeply committed to fostering a positive, inclusive, and educational culture. Our partners have cultivated a team of kind, collaborative, and highly motivated professionals who are passionate about supporting one another, our patients, and the community we serve.

Why Ventura?

• Competitive compensation package
• Opportunity to work in a privately owned, growth-focused hospital
• Access to advanced equipment and a strong referral base
• Supportive, collaborative team environment
• Exceptional work-life balance in a coastal setting
• The chance to create and lead a new specialty service
