Lead Veterinarian - Primary Care

Positions are available across all hospitals in the Pieper Veterinary network. For over 80 years, we’ve cared for Connecticut’s pets and their families with compassion and expertise.

Joining our team means practicing the highest level of veterinary medicine in a supportive environment, with great benefits, collaborative colleagues, and a culture built on treating every pet as if they were our own.

The core values below are the beliefs that guide us in our practice every day -- It’s how we come to work.

We love what we do and who we do it for. We pay attention to the patient’s journey and we treat the individual. We’re passionate and proud of our work, our patients and our team. We put our hearts into it.

We know the best way to care for our patients and clients is by working together. We respect, trust, support and encourage our co-workers. We have each other’s back. We ask “How can I help?”

The work we do is challenging, and we stay strong by lifting each other up. We feel a positive attitude and a little humor has the ability to make all the difference in someone’s day.

In fact, we can handle anything. We take action while keeping our cool. We adapt to whatever comes through the door. We’re decisive, confident and we are fearless. We like a good challenge and we do what is necessary.

We are united by the desire to be ethical, honest and responsible. We show integrity, compassion and respect and genuinely care about our work and our patients.
