We are working on behalf of a privately owned, AAHA-accredited small animal hospital on Florida’s Nature Coast seeking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team. The practice has been part of the community for more than four decades and has a strong reputation among local pet owners. You would be joining a close-knit team of three full-time doctors, supported by an additional part-time doctor. The hospital is genuinely well equipped, with a CT scanner, surgical laser, vessel sealer, electrocautery, endoscopy, an in-house IDEXX lab, digital radiography, dental X-ray, six anesthesia machines, two therapy lasers, and an oxygenated ICU cage. That gives doctors the tools to practice comprehensive medicine and, for those who want it, to build advanced surgical skills including TPLO and fracture repair. Surgical caseload is entirely optional, and general practice-minded candidates are just as welcome. The current owner took over three years ago and has built a supportive, low-drama culture focused on mentorship, open communication, and work-life balance, so both new graduates seeking hands-on guidance and experienced veterinarians looking for a progressive, well-resourced environment will find a good fit. There are no weekend hours, the working week is four days, and the practice is open to both full-time and part-time arrangements.
