Job description
Associate Veterinarian – Small Animal (Exotics/Mixed Optional) | Independently Owned | Arvada, CO
Homeward Bound Animal Hospital is an independently owned practice in Arvada, Colorado — both owners are practicing DVMs on site — seeking a full-time associate veterinarian. We're a predominantly small animal hospital in a brand-new facility designed to resemble a farmhouse attached to a barn, minutes from Denver and the Front Range foothills.
Caseload & Medicine
Dogs and cats form the core of our caseload, with genuine opportunity for doctors interested in exotics and mixed practice: guinea pigs, ferrets, birds, reptiles, pigs, goats, and alpacas all come through our doors. We practice progressive, high-quality medicine with electronic medical records, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, advanced ultrasound with color Doppler, and a comprehensive in-house laboratory. Our doctors routinely exceed their required CE hours, and we fund that.
Mentorship
Experience is preferred, but new and recent graduates are strongly encouraged to apply. With two owner-doctors and an experienced associate team on site, mentorship here is daily and hands-on — not a program on paper.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $125,000–$140,000, commensurate with experience, plus production-based compensation once base is met — base is the floor, not the ceiling
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and paid holidays
CE allowance, license fees, and professional dues
401(k) with generous employer match (after waiting period)
Uniform allowance and flexible scheduling
Why Homeward Bound
We're growing quickly, our online reviews are excellent, and our support staff turnover is among the lowest you'll find — a team that stays is a team that works well together. We genuinely prioritize work/life balance and a collegial, low-ego culture.
Questions are welcome and answered promptly. We'd love to hear from you.
