Job Description
Company Description
Practice in the oldest animal hospital in Cedar Park. Live at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country.
Cedar Park Animal Clinic is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team in Cedar Park, Texas, a fast-growing city about 30 minutes north of Austin. Founded in 1974, we're the oldest animal hospital in Cedar Park, and for decades our team has built the kind of long-term client relationships that make general practice rewarding. If you're ready for a change of scenery, a supportive team, and a city with room to explore, we'd love to meet you.
About the Role
Join a full-service, hometown small animal hospital with a loyal client base and a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
- Full- or part-time schedule available
- Full-service medicine, including wellness care, vaccinations, surgery, dental care, and more
- A Fear Free-minded team that cares about low-stress visits for patients and clients
- Competitive salary + production, relocation assistance, and a full benefits package
- A friendly, supportive culture that welcomes new team members with open arms
- No state income tax in Texas, so more of your paycheck stays yours
Why Cedar Park?
Cedar Park gives you Austin's energy without the downtown hustle, with the Hill Country right on your doorstep.
Lake days are close. Lake Travis is only about 10 miles away for swimming, boating, fishing, and wakeboarding, and you can even zip across it at Lake Travis Zipline Adventures.
A park system that's hard to beat. Brushy Creek Lake Park covers 90 acres around a 38-acre lake, with kayaking, a fishing pier, splash pads, and a playground. The 7.5-mile Brushy Creek Bike Trail links parks across the city, and Lakeline Park has a 2.5-mile loop around its lake.
Pro sports and live shows at home. The 8,700-seat H-E-B Center hosts Texas Stars hockey (the AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars), Austin Spurs basketball, concerts, and family shows.
Dog-friendly living. Cedar Park has a bark park, disc golf at Brushy Creek, and plenty of trails to hike with your own four-legged family member.
Art, history, and a little weirdness. Walk the Cedar Park Sculpture Garden, tour the city's murals, or ride a vintage train through the Hill Country on the Austin Steam Train.
Texas Hill Country wine and food. Visit Bent Oak Winery, browse the Cedar Park Farmers Market, and shop and dine at the 1890 Ranch and Lakeline area.
Austin is a short drive away. Enjoy the live music capital's restaurants, music venues, and festivals whenever you want, and come home to a quieter neighborhood.
A great place to put down roots. Cedar Park is known for its Leander ISD schools, friendly neighborhoods, and strong sense of community.
