Davies Animal Hospital | Yuba City, California

$175,000–$225,000+ Base | Production Potential $300K+ | $30K Sign-On Bonus | 4-Day Workweek

Ready to Lead Urgent Care Without Giving Up Your Life?

If you're an experienced veterinarian who enjoys urgent care, surgery, and a fast-paced caseload—but you're tired of sacrificing your personal life to do it—this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Davies Animal Medical Hospital is a privately owned, community-focused practice that has been serving Yuba City for more than 35 years. We're looking for an experienced Urgent Care Lead Veterinarian to help grow and lead our urgent care service within our large, collaborative hospital.

You'll have the autonomy to make an impact, the resources to practice high-quality medicine, and a team around you that actually lets you focus on being a veterinarian.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

 Leadership Without the Corporate Feel

This isn't a corporate hospital where you're just another doctor on the schedule. As the Urgent Care Lead, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Help continue to grow the urgent care service


• Influence medical standards and protocols


• Mentor veterinarians and develop the team


• Receive leadership training and support


• Work closely with an experienced 10-doctor team


• Make a meaningful impact on the hospital

Advanced Medicine + Serious Support

You'll work in a brand-new, 16-exam-room, state-of-the-art facility equipped to handle everything from routine cases to complex urgent and emergency medicine.

The hospital includes:

• 16 exam rooms


• 2 surgical suites


• Dedicated dental suite


• Multiple ICU areas


• Digital radiography


• Ultrasound


• Full IDEXX in-house laboratory


• Laser therapy and PRP


• Cloud-based EMR


• Live scribes


• ScribbleVet AI


• Easyvet digital systems

And perhaps most importantly, you'll have a 6:1 staff-to-doctor ratio, giving you the support you need to practice medicine rather than spend your day buried in paperwork.

A Schedule That Gives You Your Life Back

We believe being a great veterinarian shouldn't require working your life away.

4 × 10-hour shifts | 10 AM–8 PM or 8AM - 6PM

You'll work on a two-week rotating schedule designed to maximize your time off, while still providing consistent urgent care coverage.

Your support team handles much of the administrative workload so you can concentrate on patients, clients, and medicine.

Good Money and Benefits That Matter

• Base Salary: $175,000–$225,000+ DOE

• $300K+ earnings on production


• Highly competitive sign-on bonus OR up to $30,000 toward a CE program to support your professional development


• Medical, dental & vision insurance


• 401(k) with 4% employer match


• 3 weeks vacation + 1 week sick time


• CE allowance


• License renewal + Professional dues reimbursement


• Uniform reimbursement


• Leadership development opportunities
