Associate Veterinarian – Richardson, Texas
Where medicine meets mentorship, and clients feel like family.
Lloyd & Cowan Veterinary Recruitment is delighted to present an exceptional opportunity for an Associate Veterinarian to join a standout companion animal practice in Richardson, TX. This is more than just a clinic – it’s a place where pets are treated like family, laughter is part of the daily routine, and medical excellence is a shared mission.
The Practice
Nestled in a bustling suburb just north of Dallas, this independently spirited practice has carved out a loyal following through heart-first care and medical integrity. From wellness visits and dentistry to internal medicine and urgent cases, the team is trusted to care for pets through every life stage.
This isn’t a churn-and-burn clinic. Team members build meaningful relationships with clients who return year after year. They know the dogs by name. They remember the cats’ quirks. They celebrate the wins, comfort the losses, and deliver care with confidence and kindness.
The Team
The clinic is home to a vibrant, collaborative team that truly enjoys working together (and it shows). With mentorship from seasoned veterinarians, a dynamic support staff, and strong ties to a nearby specialty hospital, you’ll be surrounded by people who want to see you thrive — and who’ll probably make you laugh in the process.
The Role
You’ll have the autonomy to practice great medicine while always having someone in your corner. This is a place for someone who wants to do it right, not just get it done. Whether you love soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, or just the daily puzzle-solving of general practice, there’s room to explore your strengths and expand your skills.
What They’re Looking For:
DVM or equivalent (licensed or eligible in Texas)
Confident with client communication and case management
Positive, growth-minded, and a good team player
Interest in mentorship (giving or receiving – or both!)
What’s On Offer:
Competitive salary with production (no negative accrual – ever)
Generous CE allowance and tailored career development support
Paid professional dues, license fees, and liability insurance
Retirement plan, PTO, and employee pet discounts
Flexible scheduling – no Sundays, no overnight shifts
Location, Location…
Richardson blends suburban comfort with big-city access. Enjoy green parks, friendly neighborhoods, top schools, and a quick trip to Dallas for your food, music, or cultural fix. Whether you’re after family-friendly charm or Friday-night adventures, it’s all right here.
