Associate Veterinarian Columbia, MO Small Animal Practice

Are you looking for a supportive team, a friendly community, and a hospital that values your growth and well-being?
Horton Animal Hospital Northeast has an exciting opportunity for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team!

For decades, we’ve been a trusted part of the Columbia community, providing high-quality care for dogs, cats, and the occasional exotic pet. Our collaborative group is known for teamwork, open communication, and genuine support—whether you’re a new graduate eager for mentorship or an experienced DVM seeking a positive, well-balanced environment.

Check us out:

• Supportive, close-knit team that values collaboration and work-life balance
• Personalized mentorship program customized to your pace and goals
• Flexible schedule options
• Modern, well-equipped facility with loyal long-term clients

Originally built in the 1960s, our hospital has been thoughtfully expanded over the years to meet the evolving needs of our patients and team.

Our facility includes 4 exam rooms, a large treatment area, surgery suite, and a dental suite. We’re equipped with CR and dental x-rays, in-house IDEXX lab equipment, ultrasound, and a therapeutic laser.

At Horton Northeast, collaboration and positivity are at the heart of what we do. Our team includes several ultrasound-certified doctors (with advanced skills in echocardiograms and FAST scans), and our doctors enjoy consulting with each other to deliver the best outcomes for every patient.

We also love celebrating wins—big and small! Our “shout-out board” recognizes team members who go above and beyond, and mid-shift breaks help everyone stay refreshed and focused.

Appointments are scheduled thoughtfully (typically 20–50 minutes), allowing time for individualized, low-stress care.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, happiness, and career, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid licensure, dues, and professional liability coverage
• Continuing education allowance and PTO
• Paid vacation and parental leave
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• And more!

If you’re a compassionate, motivated veterinarian looking to make a difference in a collaborative, well-equipped practice, we’d love to meet you!
