General small-animal wellness:
preventive care, vaccines, diagnostics, dentals, minor procedures, ongoing case management — with surgical cases supported by the main clinic. About us We're privately owned and operated, and we run this practice on a simple idea: the proceeds go toward making a difference. Over eight years, Precision Veterinary has built relationships with more than 150 area rescues and shelters and provided the care behind 60,000+ adoptions, covering millions in medical costs along the way. The people who own this practice are the people who work in it — and they have no interest in leaving, selling, or buying a boat. Muir Field will remain a neighborhood vet clinic and a way to continue to provide for pets post-adoption for the rest of their lives. About the team The on-site team is small — to start, it's you, a tech, occasionally a surgeon, and the practice manager. The clinic has space for two DVMs, and we're remodeling + updating to design around that. The main clinic nearby has two experienced DVMs and about ten support staff. We have unusually good retention with our techs and assistants — most have been here for years, partly because we're careful to avoid drama when we hire, and partly because we just don't abuse people. We're mostly slightly awkward introverts, because, well, that seems to be most of who works in vet med — but the team is genuinely good people, they work hard, and they're easy to get along with. (A weirdly large number of them also just hang out at the clinic when they're not working, which is a good sign.) The schedule The clinic is currently open during normal business hours but that can be shifted. The team manages its own coverage like adults. When you need time off, we work out coverage within the team. No formal on-call or weekend rotation — we partner with local emergency hospitals for, well, emergencies. Full-time preferred; open to talking about 0.8 if that's what makes this work for you. Compensation Most of this is negotiable, and the broad strokes should look a lot like any other good general practice in the area. We pay well and fairly — not extravagantly, because we don't need to bribe people into compromising their morals or their quality of life: $130,000- 150,000 base salary, depending on experience.
