Introduction
This brand-new small animal hospital in Herriman, Utah is seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join its growing clinical team. Purpose-built by veterinarians, the practice has been designed to support high-quality medicine through modern technology, advanced equipment, and efficient workflows that allow doctors to focus on patient care rather than administrative tasks. The hospital provides comprehensive general practice services for dogs and cats, including wellness care, preventative medicine, diagnostics, dentistry, and surgery. The practice is open Monday to Saturday from 8:00am to 6:00pm, with flexible scheduling available including two, three, or four 10-hour shifts each week.

Role Description and Responsibilities
As an Associate Veterinarian, you’ll provide comprehensive preventative, medical, dental, and surgical care for companion animals while building long-term relationships with clients and their pets. You’ll perform routine procedures including spays, neuters, and dentals, alongside soft tissue surgeries such as mass removals, laceration repairs, gastropexies, hernia repairs, and selected foreign body surgeries. Working alongside a highly trained support team, you’ll be able to focus on delivering thoughtful, patient-first medicine in a collaborative environment.

Practice Details
This purpose-built veterinary hospital has been equipped with modern technology to support efficient, high-quality clinical care. Facilities include in-house haematology and chemistry analysers, urinalysis, digital radiography, Butterfly ultrasound, anaesthesia monitoring, laser therapy, microscopy, and autoclave sterilisation equipment. The practice is designed to support two to three veterinarians and maintains a planned 2:1 support staff ratio, helping maximise clinical efficiency while reducing administrative burden.

Team
You’ll join a collaborative hospital designed around strong clinical support, with a planned team of two to three veterinarians working alongside experienced technicians and assistants.
