Global Talent Partners is excited to present an excellent opportunity for a Veterinarian to join a well-established companion animal hospital in Oakland, California.

Offering a salary of up to $160,000 plus production, alongside a sign-on bonus, relocation assistance and the option of a 4-day work week, this position combines strong earning potential with the flexibility and clinical support needed to build a sustainable veterinary career.

About the Practice

This busy small animal hospital provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for dogs and cats, with a strong focus on preventative healthcare, early diagnosis and long-term client relationships.

The hospital operates seven days a week, providing excellent continuity of care and creating a varied caseload for its veterinary team.

Services include:

The Team

You’ll work alongside an experienced team of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, assistants and client care professionals, all focused on providing efficient and compassionate patient care.

• Work through interesting internal medicine cases
• Manage urgent and same-day presentations
• Develop individual clinical interests
• Build long-term client relationships
• Collaborate with experienced veterinary colleagues
• Continue developing through CE and professional education

The practice places genuine emphasis on work-life balance, with flexible scheduling and a 4-day work week available.
