Job Description: Our client is seeking a compassionate Small Animal Associate Veterinarian to join a full-time position expected to become available in summer 2027. This opportunity would suit a clinician who values professional independence, collaborative case management, and the chance to build lasting relationships with clients and their pets.

The successful candidate will manage a varied small animal caseload encompassing preventative medicine, diagnostics, treatment planning, dentistry, and routine surgery. Access to advanced clinical resources and specialist consultation support will help the incoming veterinarian investigate more complex cases while continuing to develop their medical and surgical capabilities.

This role is well suited to a veterinarian who communicates clearly, works constructively with support colleagues, and remains committed to consistently high standards of patient care. Structured mentorship and career development opportunities will support both early-career clinicians and experienced veterinarians looking to broaden their responsibilities.

In this position, your responsibilities will include:

  • Develop evidence-based diagnostic and treatment plans for small animal patients.
  • Provide preventative care and manage acute and chronic medical conditions.
  • Perform routine surgical and dental procedures according to experience.
  • Communicate clinical findings, treatment options, and follow-up recommendations clearly.
  • Work closely with veterinary technicians and support colleagues to maintain efficient workflows.
  • Maintain complete medical records and uphold consistent clinical standards.
  • Contribute to case discussions, professional learning, and a positive team culture.

Qualifications Needed:

  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree or an equivalent accredited qualification.
  • Current Colorado veterinary licence in good standing or eligibility to obtain one.
  • Commitment to ethical practice and high-quality companion animal medicine.
  • Strong client communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Collaborative attitude with enthusiasm for continued professional development.
  • Positive and dependable approach to daily clinical responsibilities.

Package:

  • Full-time position expected to commence in summer 2027.
  • Monthly production bonus opportunities with no negative accrual.
  • Annual continuing education allowance with dedicated paid learning days.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
  • Employer-paid professional liability protection.
  • 401(k) retirement savings plan with employer matching contributions.
  • Paid maternity leave for eligible employees.
  • Long-term and short-term disability insurance.
  • Access to 24-hour virtual medical support.
  • Structured mentorship and defined career development opportunities.
  • Specialist consultation support for complex clinical cases.
  • Supportive working environment focused on collaboration and professional growth.
