Associate Veterinarian

Overview

WHO WE ARE: Allen Animal Hospital is a well-established small animal practice located in Livonia, Michigan; a suburb in Metro Detroit. Easily accessible off the highway, our location offers the best of both worlds: the charm of a close-knit community with the culture, dining, and entertainment of Detroit only miles away.

Founded by Dr. Vilas Allen in 1966, we’ve delivered compassionate, high-quality veterinary care built on a foundation of education, trust, and relationships for close to six decades. Our experienced and friendly team is proud to serve our community with a strong emphasis on collaboration, communication, and a positive work environment.

Life here is rewarding, supportive, and balanced. As a part of our team, here’s what you can expect:

• A consistent Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends or major holidays
• A caseload focused on small animal general practice, including wellness care, sick pet visits, soft tissue surgeries, and dental procedures
• Dentals and digital X-ray technology for efficient diagnostics
• A team-focused, low-drama environment that encourages learning and professional growth

We’re looking for a veterinarian who is...

• Compassionate and client-focused
• A strong communicator who works well with both clients and team members
• Interested in continued learning and possibly mentorship — either receiving or providing it
