Training & Development
We’re looking for a veterinarian who practices solid medicine and enjoys working with a team that helps each other out when the day inevitably gets weird.
This role is perfect for someone looking for flexibility, supplemental income, or just a part-time position where you can focus on good patient care without feeling completely drained at the end of the day.
We’re a small animal practice that values teamwork, good communication, kindness, and the ability to adapt when a “quick nail trim” somehow turns into a 45-minute emotional support session for both the dog and the owner.
Our Core Values

- Compassion – We care deeply for pets, clients, and each other.
- Integrity – We do the right thing, always.
- Teamwork – We succeed together.
- Excellence – We are committed to continuous improvement and high standards.
- Respect – We treat everyone with kindness, dignity, and respect.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Seeing wellness and sick appointments
- Diagnosing and treating medical conditions
- Creating treatment plans and explaining them clearly
- Performing surgery and dentistry
- Working closely with technicians and support staff
- Keeping accurate medical records
- Helping clients feel informed and supported
- Jumping into the occasional beautiful chaos that is general practice
Some days run smoothly. Some days someone’s doodle eats a toy five minutes before closing. We work together, communicate well, and try to keep the atmosphere supportive and low-drama.
You’d Fit in Well Here If You
- Treat support staff with respect
- Stay calm(ish) when the schedule goes sideways
- Communicate clearly and kindly
- Enjoy collaborating and sharing ideas
- Care about patient care and client experience
- Are adaptable and solutions-focused
- Can laugh occasionally, even during a busy day
Qualifications

- Active Texas veterinary license
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to work independently while still being part of the team
Extra Gold Stars For
- Small animal GP experience
- Surgery and dentistry experience
- Familiarity with Cornerstone or similar software
- Interest in preventative care and client education
Schedule: Part-time
1–2 days per week
Flexible scheduling available
What We Offer
- Flexible work-life balance
- Competitive compensation
- Skilled support staff
- Employee pet discounts

- Hands-on experience with modern treatments and medical advancements
To Apply
- Send us your resume and answer these three questions:
- What appeals to you about part-time veterinary work right now?
- What kind of workplace helps you enjoy coming to work?
- What do you think makes a veterinary team function well together?
We’re looking for someone who enjoys practicing good medicine, values teamwork, and understands that veterinary medicine occasionally involves getting fur on your scrubs before 8 AM.
