Associate Veterinarian - Austin, TX Small Animal + Exotics | Brand-New Hospital | Base + Production | No Negative Accrual | Sign-On + Relocation The Opportunity A newly opened, state-of-the-art veterinary hospital in Austin is seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join its collaborative clinical team. This is an especially interesting opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys variety. The hospital provides care for dogs and cats as well as exotic pets and birds, offering a broader caseload than a traditional small animal general practice. You’ll join an experienced team of veterinarians, technicians, and support professionals in a new facility designed around modern veterinary medicine, patient care, and clinical collaboration. Compensation + Production The compensation structure combines a competitive base salary with additional production earning potential. The package includes: • Competitive base salary • Production compensation opportunities • No negative accrual • Signing bonus • Relocation assistance • Comprehensive benefits • 401(k) with employer match • Student loan support resources Small Animal + Exotic Medicine One of the biggest differentiators of this position is the opportunity to work with a more diverse patient population. The hospital provides veterinary care for: • Dogs • Cats • Birds • Exotic pets This creates an opportunity for a veterinarian who already has an interest or background in exotic medicine, as well as someone interested in continuing to broaden their clinical capabilities. Importantly, the source does not say that previous exotic-animal experience is required, so I would not make that a requirement in our Hound posting. Brand-New Hospital You’ll be practicing in a newly opened, modern veterinary hospital designed to support high-quality medicine and an excellent experience for patients, clients, and the veterinary team. The practice continues to evaluate and incorporate new technology, equipment, and clinical resources as veterinary medicine evolves. For a veterinarian who values having access to a modern environment and current clinical resources, this is a significant advantage. Collaborative Clinical Environment The hospital has an experienced team of veterinarians, skilled technicians, and dedicated support professionals. The culture emphasizes: • Clinical collaboration • Mentorship • Continuing education • Professional development • High-quality patient care • Strong client communication Doctors have access to broader professional resources and training while continuing to develop their own clinical skills and interests. Professional Growth This is an environment that places a meaningful emphasis on continued learning. Veterinarians have access to mentorship, training, professional-development resources, and opportunities to expand their clinical capabilities over time. For someone particularly interested in developing additional experience with exotic species, the diversity of the hospital's caseload could provide exposure that isn't available in many traditional GP settings. Who We're Looking For • DVM, VMD, or equivalent degree • Texas veterinary license or ability to obtain one • Active DEA license or eligibility • Strong medical and diagnostic skills • Commitment to high-quality patient care • Strong communication and client relationship skills • Collaborative and team-oriented approach • Interest in a diverse small animal and exotic caseload Benefits & Professional Support Eligible team members have access to: • Comprehensive health benefits • Health and life insurance • Short- and long-term disability • 401(k) with employer match • Paid parental leave • Mental health and wellness resources • Childcare and elder-care resources • Family-planning support • Veterinary-service and pet-care discounts • Student loan management resources • Professional development resources Why Consider This Opportunity If you enjoy traditional small animal medicine but want something beyond a standard GP caseload, this position stands out. You’ll have the opportunity to care for dogs and cats alongside birds and exotic pets while practicing in a brand-new hospital with an experienced clinical team.
