Job Summary

If you want to work in an independently owned small animal practice where you can have a flexible schedule with benefits, talk about cases, and get mentorship to move your career on a path that celebrates the reason you became a veterinarian, then Friendship Animal Hospital in Richmond, Texas may be a great fit for you! Our systems are designed to let us take the time to help our patients feel comfortable, listen to our clients, and think and talk about cases. The whole team supports each other to do our best, even on the busiest days. We have each other's backs. We want everyone to look forward to coming to work, our patients to be excited to see us, and our clients to trust us. When there is a culture of trust, patients are more likely to give you kisses and purrs, and clients are way more likely to bring you cookies, not crazy! If you seek a flexible full time or part time position where you will be supported, both personally and professionally, this may be the place for you. We are AAHA-accredited, have always practiced low stress handling, and are Cat Friendly-Certified. If you have any interest in becoming board-certified in ABVP Canine/Feline or Feline practice, Dr. Amy Vogt, Dipl. ABVP, Certified in Canine/Feline Practice, can mentor you through the process. Must be licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the state of TX. Interest in dentistry and surgery preferred.
