The world has changed, so we’ve reimagined what it looks like to be a full-time veterinarian.

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of pets and their families? At Venetian Pet Hospital, we provide personalized, compassionate care for every patient while creating an environment where both pets and their owners feel like part of our family. Our team is friendly, collaborative, and committed to delivering exceptional medical care through thoughtful communication and modern veterinary medicine.

We are seeking an upbeat, motivated Veterinarian with strong clinical skills and a passion for client service to join our growing team. Whether you are an experienced DVM or a new graduate eager to learn, you’ll find a supportive environment where your voice is valued, and your growth is encouraged.

This role will be primarily based at Venetian Pet Hospital, with the opportunity to occasionally support and collaborate with nearby sister hospitals, including Broadway Veterinary Hospital and Murieta Animal Hospital. This provides additional variety in caseload and the ability to work alongside a broader network of veterinary professionals while maintaining a consistent home base.
