Since opening in 2026, we've built our practice on a simple philosophy: Loving them well means caring for them well. That means personalized care plans, preventative medicine, same-day availability, walk-in access, and a whole lot of extra snuggles.

We offer comprehensive care under one roof, including wellness and prevention, testing and diagnostics, advanced care, surgical procedures, and urgent care - all supported by state-of-the-art equipment and modern best practices.

We are looking for an associate DVM to join our 2-doctor practice in the spring/summer of 2027!

• Diagnose and treat medical, surgical, and dental conditions in dogs and cats
• Develop your skills working with select exotic and pocket-pet species
• Evaluate urgent and same-day cases while developing strong triage and stabilization skills
• Manage cases from initial presentation through diagnostics, treatment, follow-up, and client communication, including urgent care cases and performing routine soft tissue surgical procedure.
• Obtain USDA accreditation and maintain the credentials necessary to complete domestic and international health certificates
• Build lasting relationships with clients through clear, compassionate, and transparent communication
• Collaborate closely with the entire veterinary team in a culture where questions, feedback, and continued learning are encouraged

What We’re Looking For

• Current DVM license in Colorado
• USDA-accredited veterinarian status, or willingness and eligibility to obtain USDA accreditation
• Strong interest in developing skills across general practice, urgent care, and surgery
• Interest in learning or expanding experience with exotic and pocket-pet species is a plus
• Strong communication skills and a client-centered approach to veterinary medicine
• A team-oriented mindset and willingness to both give and receive real-time feedback
• Someone who is dependable, curious, willing to learn, and excited to grow with a new hospital
