Veterinary Medicine Career Context

In Texas, the Veterinary Medicine weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$166k (18 salary observations; 195 listings), vs ~$140k nationally (412 salary observations; 2,587 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-02-01 through 2026-09-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.

Of the 43 active Veterinary Medicine listings this role was benchmarked against, 2% are remote, 65% have no call, 47% require no weekends.

Veterinary Medicine pay on WeekdayDoc is down 20.0% vs. the prior quarter (through Aug 2026).

The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$155k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $160k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Location & Logistics

Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$155k midpoint, that is roughly $6k–$11k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
