Privately Owned | Brand-New Hospital | No Weekends | Mentorship Available

Ready to practice medicine your way — without the pressure and red tape often found in corporate veterinary medicine?

We are seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join our newly built, privately owned small animal hospital just outside the Sacramento area. Backed by a long-standing and highly successful network of established veterinary hospitals throughout the region, this opportunity combines the support, stability, and resources of a proven organization with the flexibility, culture, and personal feel of an independent practice.

Whether you’re an experienced veterinarian looking for a fresh opportunity or a new graduate seeking exceptional mentorship and career development, this is a place where you can truly thrive.

Why Veterinarians Love Working Here

This is more than just another veterinary job — it’s an opportunity to grow alongside a team that genuinely values quality medicine, work-life balance, and professional fulfillment.

What Sets Us Apart:

Privately owned and veterinarian-supported

• Newly constructed, modern hospital with room for growth
• Established leadership team with decades of successful practice experience
• Freedom to practice your own style of medicine
• No negative accruals, quotas, or production pressure
• Collaborative and supportive culture focused on patient care first
• Monday–Friday schedule with NO weekends

We believe veterinarians deserve the autonomy, compensation, and work-life balance often promised but rarely delivered.

Mentorship That Actually Matters

New graduates are encouraged to apply.

We offer a structured 4-month mentorship program designed to help you build confidence, strengthen your clinical and surgical skills, and transition successfully into practice life. You’ll work closely with experienced veterinarians who are invested in your growth and success every step of the way.

Experienced doctors will appreciate the collaborative environment, advanced support system, and opportunity to continue developing professionally.
