Looking for an experienced veterinary team, modern clinical capabilities, and the support to keep growing?

Huber Heights Animal Hospital has been serving pets and families in the Dayton area since 1959. We're seeking a full-time veterinarian to join our collaborative three-doctor team and experienced support staff.

Whether you're a new graduate looking for hands‑on mentorship or an experienced veterinarian who values clinical autonomy and collaboration, you'll have the team and resources behind you to practice confidently and continue developing your skills.

We're currently offering a $60,000 signing bonus package for this full‑time opportunity.

Quick Snapshot

• Collaborative 3-DVM team
• Strong, experienced technician support
• Mentorship available for new graduates
• Clinical autonomy for experienced DVMs
• Mix of wellness, sick visits, surgery, and dentistry
• Rotating Saturdays shared across the doctor team

• Opportunity to develop surgical skills

What It's Like to Practice Here

Huber Heights Animal Hospital combines decades of trusted client relationships with the technology and clinical resources to practice modern medicine.

You'll work alongside experienced veterinarians and a strong support team in an environment where collaboration happens naturally. Whether you need another perspective on a case, want to continue developing a particular skill, or prefer to manage cases independently, you'll have support without sacrificing autonomy.

Your experience can be tailored to where you are in your career.

New graduates will have access to experienced DVMs for case guidance, clinical mentorship, and support as they continue building confidence in medicine and surgery.

Experienced veterinarians will have autonomy in their medical decision‑making while benefiting from experienced colleagues when collaboration is helpful.

We value:

• Thoughtful appointment pacing
• Reliable technician support
• Collaborative medicine
• Clinical autonomy
• Strong client relationships

Our medical capabilities include:

• Digital radiography
• Digital dental radiography and dental equipment
• Ultrasound
• Therapy laser
• Surgical services
• Experienced clinical support staff

An interest in surgery is welcomed but not required. Whether surgery is already an area you enjoy or a skill you'd like to continue developing, there's room to make the role your own.
