Associate Veterinarian

We are seeking a full-time Associate Veterinarian to join our team at West Loop Animal Hospital, a well-established (over 40 years) 2.5-doctor, small animal practice located in Longview, Texas. While dogs and cats make up many of our patients, approximately 10% are avian/exotics. No experience necessary for exotic work, but experience is highly preferred in small animal medicine, soft-tissue surgery, and dentistry. We highly value a positive and friendly demeanor, and a desire to cultivate great working relationships with both staff and clients. If you are interested in a leadership or management role, the opportunity to transition into a Medical Directorship is also available. Ultimately, our hope is to match your professional and personal goals with our practices needs.

Our hospital s mission is to not only offer sound advice, but also optimal medical, surgical, and dental care. To ensure we meet AAHA standards, we have a variety of tools and gadgets at our disposal. This includes a well-stocked pharmacy, two surgery suites, a dental suite with digital radiography (including full body), six exam rooms, ultrasound, Idexx in-house lab, cold laser, and Cornerstone PIMS with electronic medical records (EMR).

Our associate veterinarians have a four-day work week (we are closed on weekends!) with ample time off. After hour emergencies are handled by nearby emergency clinics. We believe that a good balance of work and personal time is needed for a healthy mind and body.
