About the role

Associate Veterinarian – Abel Pet Clinic | Elk Grove, CA
 
DVM | Small Animal | GP
Abel Pet Clinic is looking for an experienced veterinarian to join our two-doctor team in Elk Grove! We're especially excited to meet someone who enjoys surgery and dentistry and would love to take ownership of these cases. We have an incredible support team, including highly skilled RVTs who practice at the top of their licenses and bring great experience in both areas.
We're a well-established practice with a loyal client base and a positive, upbeat culture. Our team is highly collaborative and genuinely enjoys coming to work. There's plenty of laughter, music throughout the day, coffee runs, friendly gift card contests, and even a Pawsitivity Box! Communication is a real strength here, and everyone works together to keep the day running smoothly.
We also value a balanced, efficient workflow. Doctors have a protected 12:30–2:30 PM midday block for lunch, callbacks, records, and catching up. Wellness appointments are thoughtfully scheduled toward the end of the day, and doctors can see drop-offs at their discretion. It's a busy practice, but the team works hard to keep the day organized and balanced.
