Description & Requirements

At Holladay Veterinary Hospital, we’ve built a high-performing, AAHA-accredited practice where experienced veterinarians can thrive without burning out. We’re a top-producing hospital with a reputation for kindness, inclusivity, and high-quality medicine—and we’re growing!

 

We’re seeking an experienced Associate Veterinarian (3-5 years) who values teamwork, mentorship, and practicing medicine at a high level in a supportive environment.

 


The Opportunity:

  • Choose from a 3 or 4 day work week without sacrificing production or compensation – our top producers work 3 days instead of 4!
  • $150,000–$175,000 starting base salary depending on experience
  • 20–22% production with no negative accrual
  • Unlimited earning potential (average DVM production $700,000–$800,000, with opportunity to exceed $1 million)
  • Strong work-life balance is not a buzzword here—it’s how our top producers work!
  • Exceptionally low turnover and long-term retention
  • No lone wolves, no egos, no toxicity—just kind, hardworking people who support each other
  • Choose your PTO plan: unlimited PTO with negative accrual, or 3 weeks of PTO with no negative accrual

 

Our Practice:

  • AAHA-accredited since 1998
  • Fear Free certified team
  • Open, collaborative floor plan (last updated in 2025)
  • Expanding into an additional 2,500 sq ft next door due to sustained growth
  • High demand practice — visits continue to increase YoY

 

Medicine Offered:

  • General Practice
  • Urgent Care
  • Surgery
  • Holistic Medicine
  • Rehabilitation

 

Equipment & Capabilities:

  • Modern ultrasound
  • Digital dental radiography
  • Digital X-ray
  • Cautery & LigaSure
  • Laser therapy
  • Acupuncture & pain management services (certified and expanding)

 

The Team:

  • 9 DVMs with strong mentorship and collaboration
  • 2–3 technicians per doctor (more support as production and case load grows)
  • Experienced leadership with a Medical Director deeply invested in team development
  • A culture that values inclusivity, including LGBTQ team members and international professionals
  • We are proud to support immigrant veterinarians and actively advocate for clear pathways for foreign graduates to practice as DVMs in Utah.

 

Who We’re Looking For:

  • 3-5 years of small animal clinical experience
  • Strong medical and surgical skills (all doctors perform surgery)
  • Team-oriented mindset—collaboration is essential here
  • High emotional intelligence and professionalism
  • Commitment to high-quality medicine and client care

 

Our Location: Holladay, Salt Lake City

  • Desirable, upper-middle-class neighborhood with a welcoming community and central location
  • Easy access to downtown SLC, Sugarhouse, Millcreek, and Cottonwood Heights
  • Within the 215 belt loop—most commutes are 5–15 minutes
  • Four world-class ski resorts within 30 minutes (Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude)
  • Excellent dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation
