We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Veterinarian to join an independently owned, established small animal veterinary practice in Hamden, CT. The practice provides high-quality, individualized medical care to dogs, cats, and avian patients.
As a privately owned hospital, the clinic is able to focus entirely on patient care - not corporate quotas or production pressures. Their team is committed to practicing thoughtful, relationship-based medicine in a welcoming, low-stress environment for both pets and their families.

Conduct thorough physical examinations, develop diagnoses, and implement treatment plans for a wide range of medical, surgical, and dental conditions.

Perform surgical procedures such as spay/neuter, soft tissue surgeries, and other medically indicated operations.
Utilize diagnostic tools and laboratory results to inform patient care decisions.
Offer counseling and education to pet owners to support home care, nutrition, and behavioral health.
Provide specialized therapies (e.g., rehabilitation, laser therapy) as appropriate.
Deliver compassionate end‑of‑life care, including counseling and humane euthanasia when necessary.
Maintain accurate medical records and ensure compliance with veterinary medicine standards.
Practice Values
Deliver individualized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and lifestyle.
Treat clients and patients with empathy, patience, and professionalism.
Promote a low‑stress and welcoming environment for animals and owners alike.
Qualifications
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent degree from an accredited institution.
Valid veterinary license in the state of Connecticut (or eligibility for licensure).
Strong clinical judgment and commitment to evidence‑based medicine.
Excellent communication skills with both team members and pet owners.
Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
Busy, patient‑focused small animal practice providing a variety of services, including preventive care, diagnostics, surgery, dental care, and avian services.
Supportive clinical team dedicated to quality care and client education.
