We’re working with a growing, independently owned small animal hospital in the South Bay area of Los Angeles that’s looking for a full-time Veterinarian to join their team — with a clear path to part ownership.

This role is ideal for individuals seeking a career that offers more than just clinical work. You'll be trusted with real autonomy from day one and have a genuine voice in how the hospital operates. While this isn’t a formal leadership position to begin with, it offers flexibility, influence, and a stake in the future of the practice.

• Collaborative Culture – Your input matters. You’ll help shape how things are run.

• Work-Life Balance – Enjoy a Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing routine medical and surgical cases with confidence and autonomy

• Overseeing medical records and ensuring a high standard of patient care

• Collaborating with the team to optimize appointment and walk-in flow

• Supporting a positive, team-first culture that values communication and respect

• Raising medical standards through evidence-based protocols and continuous improvement

• Identifying opportunities for operational growth and improved efficiency

• Playing a key role in shaping a supportive, forward-thinking workplace

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive and negotiable base salary

• 20% production bonus

• Potential sign-on bonus

• Complete benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, PTO, CE allowance, etc.)

• Equity/ownership track

• Relocation assistance available if needed

Who This Is For

You’re a licensed DVM with 3–5 years of experience who’s looking for:

• More say in how things are done

• A long-term home, not just a stepping stone

• The opportunity to build something meaningful — and benefit from it

Whether you’re mid-career or already experienced, this is a great fit if you want to be involved, valued, and invested in.
