Associate Veterinarian

We are working on behalf of a well-established small animal hospital in Ringgold, GA, that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team.

This is a busy, forward-thinking practice where doctors are genuinely well supported. A large team of credentialed veterinary technicians (LVTs, RVTs, CVTs) keeps the workflow moving, and the equipment list includes dedicated ultrasound, a separate state-of-the-art dental suite, and a therapeutic laser. The doctor team is highly collaborative, with peer-to-peer mentorship, open case consultations, and a real appetite for new ideas and continuous improvement. The caseload is comprehensive dog and cat medicine, with a diverse mix of routine and emergency presentations, so there is plenty of day-to-day variety.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, which makes this an unusually clean schedule for a full-time general practice role. Students and new graduates are encouraged to apply and will receive dedicated mentorship from the start.

Ringgold sits about fifteen to twenty minutes from downtown Chattanooga, TN, with a cost of living roughly 16 percent below the national average and housing costs around 30 percent below, so your salary goes considerably further here than it would in a larger market. Outside of work, you can kayak on South Chickamauga Creek, hike at Chickamauga Battlefield, and take advantage of a highly regarded county school system. The role comes with a comprehensive benefits package, a generous sign-on bonus, and strong support for continuing education.
