River City Veterinary Hospital is a four-doctor small animal practice with pet resort in Meridian, Idaho, just outside of Boise. We have a highly trained, well utilized support staff with many credentialed technicians. Our work culture is respectful, positive, and very fun! We are a growing practice in the middle of a remodel of our building. When it's completed, we'll have 9 exam rooms and 3 treatment rooms!

Our services are comprehensive and modern, designed to support every need that arises for our clients throughout his or her lifetime. Whether it’s a routine checkup, an advanced diagnostic test, life-saving surgery or a simple grooming session, we’ve got it covered. Additionally, we care so much about making sure cats receive the medical attention they need and deserve that we’ve become a “Certified Cat Friendly Practice.”

We are looking for an associate veterinarian to join our team. We're happy to have a new graduate or an experienced vet. We're set up for TPLOs, so if you have an interest in ortho, even better!
