Who We Are
Associate Veterinarian – Part-Time or Full-TimeSpring Green Pet Clinic | Katy / West Houston
High-quality medicine. A supportive, collaborative team. A practice that’s truly built for veterinarians who care deeply about how they practice.
Spring Green Pet Clinic is a modern, paper-lite small animal hospital just west of Houston, designed to support thoughtful, thorough veterinary care. Our 2,800 sq. ft. facility features eight exam rooms, dedicated surgery and radiology suites, and a large treatment area equipped with in-house IDEXX diagnostics, ultrasound, Sevoflurane anesthesia, and more—so you have the tools you need to practice confidently.
We’re proud of the level of care we provide. Local specialists know our referrals often involve complex or challenging cases because we take the time to work them up properly.
Our caseload is intentionally managed to allow for quality over quantity, with longer appointment times, built-in buffers, and no shelter or rescue contracts—just personalized medicine for our clients and patients. We are 99% small animal, with occasional exotics from a trusted pet store partner (completely optional).

Location PerksLocated in Katy, you’ll enjoy easy access to everything Houston has to offer—award-winning restaurants, cultural attractions, and professional sports—while benefiting from the space, convenience, and lifestyle of a fast-growing West Houston community.
Benefits & SupportWe offer a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, CE allowance, 401(k), professional liability coverage, annual dues, generous PTO, and more—because taking care of our team is just as important as taking care of our patients.
