Associate Veterinarian

Are you looking for a veterinary role where you can build meaningful connections with pets and their families while working with a genuinely supportive team? We’re partnering with a well-established small animal hospital in the suburbs of Lansing, MI, looking for their next Associate Veterinarian—and if you value quality care, a positive work environment, and work-life balance, this might be the perfect fit.

This hospital has been established for over 50 years and has grown into a full-service dog and cat hospital, now located in a charming, converted barn. It’s got all the character you’d expect, but with modern touches like a fully equipped in-house lab, digital x-ray, laser therapy, and Phovia. It’s just 20 minutes from Michigan State University and surrounded by parks, rivers, and the iconic Grand Ledge—so whether you’re into outdoor adventures or catching a game, it’s a great place to call home.

The team here is all about maintaining a positive, collaborative culture. They’re big on supporting each other, both personally and professionally, and they know how to balance hard work with a good time—think team-building events, continuing education opportunities, and little traditions like birthday celebrations and holiday parties. You’ll be joining a group that genuinely enjoys working together and takes pride in delivering excellent veterinary care without sacrificing a balanced lifestyle.

We’re looking for an Associate Veterinarian with strong communication skills and a commitment to small animal medicine. Whether you’re an experienced vet or a recent graduate, you’ll have plenty of mentorship and support to help you succeed. And here’s the best part—no late evenings or weekend hours. They know your personal time matters.

As for the benefits, they don’t cut corners. You’ll receive competitive compensation without negative accrual or non-compete agreements. They also offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as short-term and long-term disability, paid time off, fully paid maternity leave, and an employee pet discount. Financial perks include a 401(k) with an employer match, a health savings account, group life insurance, and more.

Plus, the team culture here is genuinely supportive. One team member shared, “We have a great work environment, and everyone truly cares about each other—both inside and outside of work. We’re always willing to help one another.”

The hospital is part of a veterinary community that values innovation, collaboration, and support. It’s a place where you can grow your career while being surrounded by like-minded professionals who are passionate about making a difference in veterinary care.

If this sounds like the kind of environment you’d thrive in, we’d love to hear from you!
