Best Friends Animal Hospital & Pet Resources is a privately owned, AAHA-accredited and Fear Free-principled practice serving Swansea, Illinois, and the greater St. Louis area. We believe excellent patient care begins with a supported veterinary team—one whose members are respected, trusted, and able to enjoy lives outside the hospital. We're seeking a part-time or full-time Associate Veterinarian who enjoys outpatient medicine, values genuine client relationships, and wants to be part of a collaborative, experienced team.

What Makes Our Practice Different:

You'll have a voice. Because we are independently owned, decisions are made by people who work in the hospital and understand its patients, clients, and team. You won't be answering to a distant corporate office or pressured by sales quotas and arbitrary performance mandates. You'll be well supported. Our experienced veterinary technicians and highly capable client service team help our doctors focus on practicing medicine. Several of our technicians are certified, and our entire team is committed to providing efficient, compassionate care. You'll be able to practice great medicine. We are fortunate to serve clients who trust our recommendations and want high-quality care for their pets. When a patient needs advanced care, we also have access to excellent specialists throughout the St. Louis region. You'll have room to grow. An experienced veterinarian will find the autonomy and resources to develop professionally, while a recent graduate can benefit from our structured, proven mentorship program. You'll still have a life outside veterinary medicine. There are no after-hours emergency responsibilities, and the schedule includes a weekday off. We value flexibility and want our doctors to build sustainable, rewarding careers. A Hospital Designed for

Compensation and Benefits:

We offer a competitive compensation package that includes: Production-based compensation with a guaranteed base salary, commensurate with experience Signing bonus Medical, dental, and vision insurance 401(k) Employee Assistance Program Generous continuing education allowance Paid time off Coverage for professional dues, licensure, and VIN membership Relocation assistance considered A Great Place to Call Home - Swansea and nearby Belleville offer the best of both worlds: the friendly, relaxed feel of a smaller community with the amenities of St. Louis within easy reach. The area features local restaurants, community festivals, parks, and an extensive network of walking and biking trails. A short trip into St. Louis opens the door to nationally recognized attractions, professional sports, live music, theater, museums, exceptional dining, and Forest Park. It's an appealing place to build a career while enjoying an active and well-balanced life outside of work. Let's Start a Conversation!
