Veterinarian

Associate Veterinarian – West Hills Animal Hospital

Join a thriving, modern practice in the heart of the San Fernando Valley — just 30 minutes from downtown LA! Founded in 2004, West Hills Animal Hospital has grown from a small 2-doctor practice into a multimillion-dollar hospital that's still expanding today. We specialize in small animal medicine, surgery, and emergency care for dogs and cats, and we're proud of the reputation we've built for high-quality, compassionate medicine.

State-of-the-art facilities, including:

• A fully equipped surgical suite
• New IDEXX in-house laboratory
• Digital radiography and digital dental X-ray
• Premier GE ultrasound (2020)
• In-house microscopy
• A paper-light practice running on Avimark, with digital mobility between exam rooms and treatment areas, digital whiteboards, and computerized recordkeeping

And we're not slowing down — a full hospital expansion and renovation is on the horizon, doubling our footprint to give our team even more room and resources to provide top-notch care.

A team that sticks around
We're a fast-paced, 3-doctor practice, but our size doesn't tell the whole story — many of our staff members have been with us for 5 to 17 years! That kind of loyalty speaks for itself. We credit our low turnover to a genuinely family-like culture, strong leadership from our doctors, and management that actually has your back.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary: $150,000–$180,000 (based on experience) + production
• 401(k) with matching
• Full health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• Continuing education allowance
• Malpractice coverage
• License renewal and professional association dues covered
• Real work/life balance — 4-day work weeks, closed Sundays (hospital hours are 8am–4pm, 6 days a week)
• Supportive, hands-on management
• Mentorship for veterinarians at every career stage
