Description
Associate Veterinarian; Privately Owned AAHA Practices in Northeast San Antonio
Full Time or Part Time
Kitty Hawk Animal Hospital Universal City, Texas; Just 30 minutes northeast of downtown San Antonio
This isn't simply another associate position.
For many veterinarians, it's a career pivot.
Most veterinarians aren't looking to leave veterinary medicine.
They're looking to rediscover why they chose it in the first place.
A place where they have time to think through cases.
Where collaboration replaces competition.
Where leadership genuinely cares about the people caring for patients.
Where they can build lasting relationships with clients instead of feeling like they're racing the clock.
That's exactly what we've worked to create.
Family Practice for Pets includes two privately owned AAHA accredited hospitals that share one philosophy:
When people are supported, they do their best work.
That philosophy shapes everything we do, from patient care and client relationships to the way our team supports one another every day.
A Team That Has Your Back
You'll join a collaborative team that enjoys helping one another succeed.
Ideas are welcomed.
Questions are encouraged.
Successes are shared.
"I’m excited to share a little bit about why I genuinely love my job. I get to work alongside talented and supportive individuals who truly care about what they do and want to see each other succeed."
Emily Lozano, Registered Veterinary Technician
