Our caseload is approximately 40% cats, 30% small dogs, and 30% large dogs, with doctors seeing approximately 13–15 patients per day depending on surgery and walk-in volume. We are also happy to accommodate walk-ins when possible and support local animal welfare through rescue partnerships and community spay/neuter programs.

Our Team:
You'll be joining 6 veterinary assistants, 2 primary DVMs, and 2 relief DVMs who genuinely work together.

• Pro-sal or straight salary
• Generous sign-on bonus
• Paid vacation
• PLIT coverage
• 401(k) match
• Continuing education allowance
• Discounted products and services
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) supporting financial planning, legal services, mental health, and work-life balance

New Graduates Welcome!
