Associate Veterinarian – Brand-New Hospital

I am delighted to be working with one of the most respected practices locally, who have just moved into a brand-new, purpose-built hospital— and it’s nothing short of impressive.

This team has been a staple of the community since 2016, known for genuine client relationships and gold-standard care. Now, with the expansion complete, they’re growing from a two-doctor practice to a four-doctor team and are looking for another dedicated veterinarian to join them. You’ll be the third vet to join this newly expanded team, growing to a four-doctor practice by next May.

Whether you’re an experienced clinician ready to take on more responsibility or a vet who wants to be part of a forward-thinking, high-performing team, this is an opportunity to help shape a clinic that’s entering an exciting new chapter.

Why This One Stands Out

  • A brand-new facility– Designed with workflow and comfort in mind. No cramped consults, no tight treatment spaces.

  • Modern equipment– Digital dental X-ray, advanced imaging, cautery, and full in-house lab for rapid diagnostics.

  • A supportive, close-knit team– You’ll be joining people who genuinely enjoy their work (and each other).

  • An established, loyal client base– Built on trust, compassion, and consistency.

  • Plenty of room to grow– With the move and expansion, the team is looking to develop new leadership talent over time.

What They’re Looking For

  • A DVM (or equivalent) and license to practice in CT 

  • Someone who values collaboration, communication, and modern medicine.

  • A positive, grounded professional who enjoys what they do and brings ideas to the table.

  • Leadership interest or previous experience would be a real plus.

The Package

  • Base salary: $128,000–$160,000 (commensurate with experience)

  • Prosal structure for added earning potential

  • $100,000 sign-on bonus

  • Generous PTO including vacation, sick, and CE days

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Annual CE allowance and all professional fees covered (VMA, DEA, VIN)

  • Employee assistance program, fertility & family support,

  • Pet care discounts

  • Healthcare discounts

If you’ve been looking for a modern, well-equipped practice with a fantastic reputation and a team that truly values its people, this is one to look at seriously.
