Job Description A full-service, AAHA accredited small animal hospital in the Bellaire area of Houston, TX is seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join their team! This privately-owned, AAHA-accredited small animal practice has been proudly serving Houston area pet owners for several years, offering wellness care, sick visits, surgery, dentistry, and internal medicine to a caseload of dogs and cats. The team is growing and is now looking for a second full-time veterinarian to join a collaborative, close-knit hospital. If you have an interest in exotic medicine, the team are happy for someone to grow this in addition to their small animal service. The facility is equipped with digital full-body and digital dental X-ray, a brand new IDEXX hematology and chemistry in-house lab, microscope, centrifuge, and dedicated surgical and dental suites for routine soft tissue surgery, spays and neuters, dentals, and extractions. A brand-new ultrasound unit is also on-site, with training and CE support available to the right candidate who wants to build this skill. You will be supported by a dedicated practice manager and an on-site medical director with a particular interest in advanced soft tissue surgery, alongside a cross-trained team of technicians and assistants (roughly 2.5 support staff per doctor). The practice takes a fear-free approach for pets, owners, and staff, and mentorship is genuinely built into the culture rather than a box-ticking exercise. You can expect a consistent 4 day work week, with one half day Saturday every other week. Surgery mornings are typically completed before early afternoon, and there is no on-call or overnight emergency work required.
