Built for Experienced Veterinarians in a Well-Run, Supportive Practice
Indian Trail Animal Hospital is a privately owned, AAHA-accredited small animal practice in a brand-new facility, known for exceptional doctor and staff longevity and a culture that supports strong medicine and professional autonomy.
This role is ideal for an experienced veterinarian who wants:
- A well-run hospital
- A predictable, efficient schedule
- The ability to practice their style of medicine with the right level of support
High-performing associates do very well here. We intentionally tailor scheduling, staffing, and case flow so experienced doctors can be productive, efficient, and professionally fulfilled—without burnout.
This is a replacement position with an established caseload, allowing you to step into a full schedule quickly and meet (or exceed) financial goals.
A Full-Time Schedule That Respects Your Time
- Average 3.5-day work week (9-hour days) – less than 180 work days a year!
- Built-in 4–5 day weekends at least once per month
- Additional PTO on top of schedule design
- Minimal Saturdays (two 6-hour shifts approx. every 3 weeks)
- No ER, no overnights, no on call
- Optional surgery and dentistry based on your interests and strengths
We value efficiency, protected lunch breaks, and leaving on time whenever possible.
