Job Description - Veterinarian

Veterinarian



  • Salary: $120,000 - $140,000 per year + ProSal (no negative accrual)

  • Sign-On Bonus: Available

  • Location: 577 East St. South, Suffield, CT 06029


Suffield Veterinary Hospital is hiring a full-time veterinarian to provide comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care to a small animal and exotic caseload. 


The ideal candidate is comfortable with canine and feline dentistry (exotics dental care a plus), performs routine and GP surgeries (no orthopedic or neurosurgery), and builds strong client relationships to support the human-animal bond. Exposure to reproductive cases is included, with interest in canine reproduction welcomed. Strong communication, dedication, and a “say yes to pets” attitude are key qualities.


 


What to Expect



  • A schedule that respects your time. Our last appointment of the day is at 5:00pm, with no expectation to stay late or be on call. Appointments are scheduled in 20 to 30-minute blocks. The role is 30 to 40 hours per week across 4 days, with a Saturday rotation. Hours of operation are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 7:30am to 6:00pm, Wednesday and Friday 7:30am to 5:00pm, and Saturday 8:00am to 1:00pm, with a daily scheduled lunch break from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.

  • A 2.5-to-1 staff to doctor ratio. You will have the support—and respect—you need to be excellent for our patients. Currently, our team consists of 5 DVMs, 6 licensed technicians, 6 veterinary assistants, 6 CSRs, and 1 kennel attendant.

  • All the benefits you deserve—health, dental, vision, retirement—plus: Continuing Education (CE) allowance, uniform allowance, pet discounts, relocation assistance, employment sponsorship, Plumb’s/VIN membership, plus we will cover your dues, license fees, and AVMA-PLIT!

  • Paid time off. Catch your breath with paid holidays, PTO, and Continuing Education days each year. Take the time you need to recharge.

  • Partnership opportunities through Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP), where more than 260 partners co-own practices across 200 locations. VPP offers unmatched support in operations, marketing, and finance, allowing you to focus on your passion for veterinary medicine.


 


Requirements



  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or VMD degree from an accredited institution.

  • Valid veterinary license in the state of Connecticut
