Brickyard Animal Hospital | Salt Lake City, Utah

Brickyard Animal Hospital is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our growing team in Salt Lake City, Utah!

For more than 75 years, Brickyard Animal Hospital has been a trusted part of the Salt Lake City community. Founded in the 1950s, our practice has built lasting relationships with generations of pets and their families. Our philosophy is simple: treat every pet like one of our own while providing high-quality medicine in a supportive, team-focused environment.

Our four-doctor team brings diverse experience, interests, and clinical strengths to the practice. We value collaboration, open communication, and strong medicine while giving each doctor the opportunity to develop their own areas of interest. Our highly utilized veterinary technicians and experienced support staff have a low turnover rate and play an important role in keeping our team efficient and well supported.

Our modern hospital features an efficient layout, excellent workflow, and abundant natural light, creating a bright and welcoming environment for our team and patients.

We welcome veterinarians at all stages of their careers, including new and recent graduates. Early-career veterinarians will benefit from structured mentorship, while experienced doctors will appreciate the collaborative culture, established clientele, and opportunity to bring their own strengths and interests to the team.

  • What You’ll Find at Brickyard Animal Hospital
  • Spacious and thoughtfully designed hospital
  • Experienced doctor team with diverse clinical interests and skill sets
  • A dedicated team that values both excellent patient care and a positive work environment
  • Highly utilized veterinary technicians who play an integral role in patient care
  • Structured mentorship for new and recent graduates
  • Strong focus on preventative medicine and comprehensive wellness care
  • Opportunities to pursue interests in dentistry, internal medicine, soft-tissue surgery, and other areas of general practice
  • Encouragement of continued learning and professional development
  • No evening or weekend shifts

Who We Are Looking For

Our ideal Associate Veterinarian is compassionate, curious, and committed to providing thoughtful, high-quality medicine. We’re looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a team, values client relationships, and is excited to continue learning and growing throughout their career.

This is a full-time opportunity with no evening or weekend shifts, providing a predictable schedule and the opportunity to maintain a healthy balance outside of the hospital. We believe veterinarians do their best work when they have the time and support to recharge, pursue their interests, and enjoy life outside of veterinary medicine.
