Job Description
Join Our Team: Associate Veterinarian - Berthoud Animal Hospital — Berthoud, CO
Every Pet. Every Person. Every Time. That's not just our motto, it's how we practice medicine.
Berthoud Animal Hospital is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join a team that already includes Dr. Teva Stone, our Medical Director with 15+ years of leadership experience and a passion for Fear Free, relationship-centered care, and Dr. Lindsey Fry, a board-certified sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist bringing advanced orthopedic and pain-management expertise in-house.
You'll be part of a full-service general practice team offering wellness care, dentistry, internal medicine, and surgery, with a built-in rehab referral partner most GP clinics don't have.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a veterinarian who sees this work as a calling, not just a career. Someone who leads with compassion, for patients and their people alike, and who genuinely enjoys being part of a team rather than working in a silo.
You bring strong clinical skills and sound judgment, but just as importantly, you bring warmth, curiosity, and a willingness to collaborate with colleagues who care as much as you do.
Whether you're an experienced DVM ready for your next chapter or a new grad eager to grow, what matters most to us is heart, humility, and a genuine love for this profession. Surgery is not a requirement for this position.
Why You'll Love It Here
Real ownership, not just a paycheck. Through Suveto's Veterinary Stock Ownership Plan (VSOP®), you build equity in the hospital network you're growing, with no upfront investment required.
Compensation that reflects your value. Starting at $125k plus production, possible retention bonus, commensurate with experience. No negative accrual, no non compete.
A life outside the clinic. Monday through Friday 8am to 5:30pm, Saturday 8am to Noon, Sundays off. Flexible scheduling and generous PTO.
Colorado living at its best. Berthoud sits in the "Garden Spot of Colorado," 10 minutes from Loveland and 40 from Fort Collins, with the outdoor access, community feel, and quality of life that drew our own team here.
Benefits that take care of you. Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid parental leave, and 401k with company match, a generous CE allowance and days for CE attendance.
Mentorship that matters. You'll have support from leaders who are still hands on in practice themselves.
