Hi! Egret Bay Veterinary Hospital is looking for a long-term Associate Veterinarian! We are a privately-owned, small-animal general practice located in League City, TX (south of Houston but north of Galveston).

We pride ourselves on thorough, efficient work-ups and client education! To provide quality care, we look to keep the best in-house equipment to provide treatment and results accurately and quickly. Our equipment includes, but is not limited to:

• In-house blood machines (VetScan HM5 & VS2)
• In-house fecal machine (IMAGYST)
• In-house cytology, pathology review available within 2 hours (IMAGYST)
• Digital radiology
• Brand new ultrasound (Samsung HS40)
• Dental radiology (Midmark)
• Electric dental machine (MAI Ultima E-Series I)
• Each doctor has 3-4 highly trained vet assistants or LVTs assigned to them each day. Each doctor sees about 15, (give or take 3) appointments per day. Surgery is not required of every doctor.

We have a remarkably low turn-over rate and have an amazing clinic culture! We are a small group of 14 staff members, and our average time working here is about 6 years with our newest employees being here 2 years now and our oldest employees being here for 11 years! We take medicine seriously, but we are happy to laugh, talk, and EAT with each other any day. We are always willing to provide mentorship and assistance to each other at any time. In times of struggles, we offer support to one another through our personal relationships and our faith.

We value a healthy work-life balance and are very flexible with schedules! We are happy to accept full-time or part-time associates! We are happy to discuss buying in potential as well!

All new staff must undergo a phase training to accustom themselves to our hospital's flow and protocols.
