Veterinarian – Small Animal Practice – $50k Signing Bonus!
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Relocation Assistance: $10k available
Bonus: $50,000 Hiring Bonus

Lloyd & Cowan is pleased to partner with a collaborative, well-equipped small animal practice located just north of downtown Chicago in the vibrant Bucktown neighborhood. We’re seeking a passionate Veterinarian who values high-quality medicine, a supportive environment, and a fantastic work-life balance.

Why This Role Stands Out:
Join a close-knit team that thrives on teamwork, emotional intelligence, and delivering outstanding care. The clinic may be small in size, but it’s big on technology, offering digital and dental radiography, ultrasound, in-house lab capabilities, and advanced anesthetic monitoring.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • DVM/VMD degree (or equivalent)

  • An active Illinois veterinary license (or eligibility to obtain)

  • DEA license (or DEA-eligible)

  • A collaborative mindset and strong clinical skills

  • A desire to grow in areas such as dentistry, dermatology, or surgery

Benefits That Work for You:

  • Competitive salary with bonus and relocation support

  • Rich CE opportunities and mentorship through the Meant to Thrive program

  • Growth potential in specialties like dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, and rehab

  • Mental health resources via 24/7 access to Lyra Health

  • Paid parental and “purr-ental” leave

  • Employer-sponsored childcare and elder care assistance

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Student loan support tools

  • Discounts on veterinary services and pet care

Location Perks:
Just minutes from Chicago’s downtown core, Bucktown offers a great mix of culture, food, and outdoor spaces. Whether you're a foodie, cyclist, or music lover, you'll feel at home here.
