Associate Veterinarian

Large Animal Veterinarian

Full Time

You’re not just a doctor; you’re a pillar of the community. In this role, you’ll build deep, multi-year roots with families who will look to you first when something "just feels wrong." You’ll experience the ultimate clinical variety, managing a caseload of 50% Equine (ranging from high-performance athletes to pleasure companions) and 50% Livestock (supporting local cattle, dairy, and small ruminant herds).

Your office changes with the landscape. Since the majority of your time is spent in the field, we provide a fully-equipped company vehicle to serve as your mobile headquarters. And because we know the best co-pilots have four legs, your furry passenger is always welcome to ride along for your farm calls!

Whether you’re a seasoned vet or a recent grad, you won’t be on an island. You’ll be backed by an experienced team that lives for collaboration and peer-to-peer coaching.

Mentorship that Matters:
We don't just "offer" mentorship; we practice it. You’ll have access to structured support and a team that is always just a phone call away when you're tackling a complex urgent call.
