Join Our Experienced, Collaborative Team at Metairie Small Animal Hospital
If you’re an experienced DVM looking for a practice where you can fully utilize your clinical expertise without sacrificing work-life balance, Metairie Small Animal Hospital offers exactly that. Located in the heart of Old Metairie, our well-established hospital is seeking a confident, skilled Associate Veterinarian who values high standards of care, strong client relationships, and a team that truly works together.
Why This Role Stands Out for Experienced DVMs
- Clinical Autonomy with Support: Practice the way you were trained, with the backing of an experienced team and leadership that trusts your judgment.
- Advanced Case Management: Manage a diverse caseload with the tools and support needed to work up cases thoroughly—from preventive care to complex medical and surgical cases.
- Mentorship & Leadership Opportunities: Interested in mentoring junior doctors or technicians? We welcome it. Looking to grow into a leadership role? We’ll support that path.
- Efficient, Skilled Support Staff: Work alongside licensed veterinary technicians and a tenured team that allows you to focus on medicine—not tasks that can be delegated.
About Us
For over 75 years, Metairie Small Animal Hospital has been a cornerstone of the community, known for compassionate care and strong partnerships with local animal shelters. Our culture is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in doing right by our patients and each other—without unnecessary drama or burnout.
What We Offer
- Flexible Scheduling: Full-time or part-time options tailored to your lifestyle
- True Work-Life Balance: No on-call or after-hours responsibilities
- Competitive Compensation: Strong base salary plus production; designed to reward experienced clinicians appropriately
- Sign-On & Relocation: Up to $20,000 for qualified candidates
- Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), disability, CE allowance, licensing/DEA coverage, and generous PTO
- Modern Equipment & Resources: We continue to invest in tools that support high standards of care
