Looking for something different from corporate veterinary medicine?
Orchard Animal Hospital is a locally owned, independent small-animal hospital that has proudly served the Dallas community for more than 24 years. We’re modernizing our hospital, expanding our services, and looking for two great people to join our team.
We believe veterinary medicine can be high-quality, professional, supportive—and still fun.
Here, you’re not just another employee number. There aren’t layers of corporate management making decisions from somewhere else. Our decisions are made right here in the clinic by people working alongside you. Your ideas matter, your skills are valued, and you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on the practice and the team.

We’re hiring two Veterinary Technicians/Assistants and welcome both certified and experienced non-certified applicants.
We’d love to meet someone who:
- Truly cares about animals and their people
- Has hands-on veterinary technician or assistant experience
- Enjoys being part of a close, collaborative team
- Communicates well with coworkers and clients
- Is dependable, adaptable, and willing to jump in when needed
- Wants to keep learning and expanding their skills
- Has AVImark or Covetrus Pulse experience — a plus, but not required
Why Orchard?
Because independent practice should feel different.
- Locally owned and operated — not corporate
- Leadership that works alongside the team
- Your input and ideas actually matter
- Friendly, positive, team-oriented environment
- Opportunities to learn new skills
- Work alongside experienced veterinarians
- Flexible scheduling
- Build real relationships with our patients, clients, and community
- Be part of an independent hospital that is investing in its future
