4 Paws Animal Clinic is hiring a full-time Veterinarian to join our four-doctor team in Winter Park. What makes 4 Paws Animal Clinic different is what fills our hours.
Our caseload runs from wellness and dentistry to same-day urgent and emergency care, backed by a full in-house laboratory and same-day ultrasound - so the medicine stays varied without the hours getting long.
We built the clinic with separate cat and dog areas to keep patients calm, and cold laser and acupuncture are part of how we practice rather than an afterthought. WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT WORKING HERE True work-life balance that’s protected.
Whether you’re looking for full-time or part-time, we’ll create a schedule that fits your life. Real support when you need it.
You’d join a four-doctor team whose interests run from internal medicine and oncology to dentistry, clinical pathology and integrative medicine - so there’s always someone to think a case through with, and room for a clinical interest of your own.
Benefits that actually matter. Comprehensive health, dental, vision and retirement packages, plus generous PTO, pet discounts, and an Employee Assistance Program. We cover your dues, license fees, DEA and AVMA-PLIT, along with a CE allowance and VIN membership. Partnership opportunities for the right candidate.
Through Veterinary Practice Partners, more than 260 veterinarians co-own their practices across 185 locations. We believe in investing in our team members and offer pathways to ownership for those who want to build their future with us.
