Job Description


An independently owned small animal hospital in Aurora, Colorado is seeking a full-time or part-time Associate Veterinarian to join its growing team. With a strong support ratio and an engaged, loyal client base, this is an opportunity to practice personalized care in a well-equipped and evolving environment.

The hospital has been serving the community since 1993 and has grown 20-30% year-on-year despite doing no advertising. Under new ownership since 2023, the clinic completed a full remodel and expansion in early 2025, doubling its space to meet growing demand while preserving its low-stress, client-focused atmosphere.

Appointments are 15 to 45 minutes depending on the case, with daily schedules tailored to support high-quality care. The practice sees cats, dogs, and the occasional exotic, and is open to veterinarians who want to expand the caseload to additional species. Doctors are supported by a skilled team of 2-3 staff per DVM, including long-standing team members who help maintain the hospital's welcoming and efficient culture.

You'll manage a variety of cases including wellness, internal medicine, and surgery, with full in-house diagnostics and advanced capabilities such as orthopedic surgery and International Travel Health Certificates. The facility features four exam rooms, digital and dental x-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab, and paperless records. The team works collaboratively, and mentoring is available for new graduates.

The practice is open Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm, and scheduling is highly flexible, whether you're looking for two to four days a week or a long-term full-time role.
