Description
Associate Veterinarian – Small Animal | Fort Worth, TX | New Grads Welcome
$150,000 – $200,000+ DOE | 4-Day Workweek | No On-Call | Part-Time or Full-Time
A well-established Fort Worth clinic under new, independent ownership is looking for its next great veterinarian and they're building something worth being part of.
This is a well-established, full-service small animal clinic in Fort Worth, serving the local community for over 20 years and now under new, independent ownership. The owner is a hands-on veterinarian with 25+ years of clinical experience across general practice and emergency medicine, a genuine passion for mentorship, and a track record of building strong, loyal teams. If you're a new graduate looking for the kind of guidance that actually shapes your career, this is the role you've been waiting for. And if you're an experienced vet ready for a practice that feels like it's going somewhere, same answer.
This isn't a corporate clinic. Decisions here are made by a doctor, not a boardroom.
What You will Be Doing
Day-to-day, you'll be practicing the full breadth of small animal general medicine in a busy, well-equipped, multi-doctor clinic that handles everything from wellness and preventive care to surgery and dentistry:
- Wellness exams, vaccinations, and preventive care consultations
- Diagnosing and treating medical conditions across a varied small animal caseload
- Routine and soft tissue surgery (spays, neuters, mass removals, and more)
- Interpreting diagnostics — bloodwork, urinalysis, radiographs, and ultrasound
- Dental procedures including extractions and oral health assessments
- Building and communicating clear treatment plans with clients
- Maintaining thorough medical records (SOAP notes, prescriptions, treatment plans)
- Working closely with a tenured, experienced support team
- Growing alongside a medical director who is genuinely invested in your development
You will be joining an established multi-doctor team, so you'll have clinical colleagues around you from day one.
What We Are Looking For
- DVM or VMD from an AVMA-accredited program (or internationally equivalent)
- Active Texas veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one prior to start
- Strong communication skills and a compassionate, client-focused approach
- A collaborative team player who takes pride in their work
- New graduates warmly encouraged, mentorship is built into the fabric of this practice, not an afterthought
Compensation & Benefits
- $150,000 – $200,000+ DOE
- Base salary plus production bonus
- Generous sign-on bonus
- 4-day workweek
- No on-call or after-hours duties
