Littlestown Veterinary Hospital is a full-service, primary care practice. We provide a variety of services including wellness and sick patient care, medical diagnostics, and on-site surgeries.

More about the Role

We are seeking a personable, enthusiastic, and motivated Associate Veterinarian to join our team! Whether you're an experienced DVM or a recent graduate, we'd love to meet you. We welcome veterinarians of all experience levels and are proud to have multiple experienced doctors who are passionate about mentoring, supporting professional growth, and helping associates build confidence in the areas of medicine that interest them most.

Our hospital offers a diverse and rewarding caseload, providing comprehensive preventive care, wellness medicine, surgery, dentistry, and exotic animal medicine. We see a wide variety of exotic pets, making this an excellent opportunity for veterinarians with an existing interest in exotics or those eager to expand their skills. Our experienced doctors enjoy teaching and are excited to mentor associates looking to develop their knowledge and confidence in exotic pet care.

Dentistry is also a cornerstone of our practice. We perform a high volume of dental prophylaxis and place a strong emphasis on oral health and client education. We're looking for a veterinarian who enjoys dentistry or is interested in growing their skills in this area. Experience is welcome, but not required-we're happy to provide hands-on training and mentorship to help you become comfortable and confident.

We foster a wonderful work environment with a supportive leadership team that is invested in your success. Our staff is friendly, collaborative, and genuinely enjoys working together to provide exceptional patient care. We also take great pride in our long-standing, loyal clientele, whose trust allows us to practice high-quality medicine and build lasting relationships with both pets and their families.
