Associate Veterinarian - MADE Program

New York City, NY

Bond Vet is on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through better pet care. We offer primary and urgent care, so we’re there for pets when they need us most. Our clinics are designed with pets and people in mind: warm, friendly, and highly sniffable. We balance this design with a strong focus on technology, all built in-house, which means we can easily innovate our systems to improve the veterinary team, pet, and client experience.

In July 2026, Bond Vet and Small Door Veterinary merged to build a more connected, accessible, and compassionate veterinary care experience across routine, primary, and urgent care. The combined organization will span more than 55 clinics across major Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest markets, serving over half a million pets.

This role will play an important part in shaping the next chapter of our combined organization and advancing our shared mission to transform veterinary care.

Mission: Give every new graduate the structure, mentorship, and support to become a confident, skilled, and compassionate veterinarian.

Traditionally, new veterinary graduates have had three main paths: an internship, specialization, or jumping straight into practice. We’ve created something different: a structured, supportive six-month program that builds strong clinical skills and strong communication skills side by side, with a dedicated mentor and our full veterinary network behind you.

This is a competitive program, and we accept a limited number of applicants.
