Job Description

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

If you’re looking for a practice where you can build a long-term home, practice quality medicine, and work alongside a genuinely experienced team, this is worth a conversation. This established small animal hospital has a strong history of veterinarian and staff retention, with many team members having been part of the practice for 10+ years.

The position is open because of a veterinarian retirement—not turnover. You’ll join a team that has already built a strong foundation, with a Medical Director focused on maintaining excellent medicine, efficient workflows, and a positive culture.

And the schedule is unusually flexible. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or relief work, the team is open to finding the right arrangement.

What You’ll Find Here

• Exceptional team stability — multiple doctors and support staff have been with the practice for years
• More than 10 employees have been with the practice for a decade or longer
• Four Licensed Veterinary Technicians supporting the medical team
• Appointment-based model rather than a walk-in-only environment
• AAHA-accredited practice with a long history of maintaining high standards
• Fully transitioned electronic medical records
• Dedicated 12:00–2:00 p.m. weekday break from appointments
• Leadership focused on quality medicine and sustainable workflows

Compensation + Schedule

• Flexible scheduling with full-time, part-time, or relief options
• Schedule designed around finding the right fit for the veterinarian and practice
• Weekday appointment break from 12:00–2:00 p.m.
• Compensation details were not provided
• Specific weekend and on-call expectations were not provided

What You’ll Do

You’ll provide comprehensive small animal veterinary care, from wellness and preventive medicine through diagnostics, treatment planning, surgery, dentistry, and ongoing case management.

The practice emphasizes appointment-based care and meaningful client relationships, giving you the opportunity to follow cases, educate pet owners, and build trust over time. You’ll work alongside an experienced support team and collaborate with leadership to maintain a high standard of patient care.

What You Bring

• DVM/VMD or equivalent with an active or eligible Virginia license
• New graduates and experienced veterinarians are welcome
• Strong communication and client relationship skills
• Interest in high-quality companion animal medicine
• Collaborative approach and commitment to patient care

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Paid time off
• Paid holidays
• Employee assistance program
