Great Medicine. Great People. A Different Kind of Veterinary Practice.
Are you an experienced veterinarian looking for a practice where your professional judgment is respected, your voice matters, and you genuinely enjoy the people you work with?
At Village Veterinary Care of Merton, we believe taking care of our team is just as important as taking care of our patients.
We're an independently owned small-animal veterinary hospital serving Merton, Sussex, Hartland, and the surrounding Lake Country communities. We're looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team and help us continue building something special.
Why Choose VVC?
Independent Ownership
We make decisions locally, based on what's best for our patients, clients, and team—not corporate production targets or outside investors.
A Collaborative Environment
Our veterinarians, technicians, assistants, and receptionists all have a voice. We value open communication, mutual respect, and teamwork over rigid hierarchies.
Clinical Autonomy
We trust our veterinarians' professional judgment and support thoughtful, individualized patient care. We encourage collaboration without unnecessary micromanagement.
A Workplace Built Around People
Veterinary medicine can be demanding enough without unnecessary workplace stress. We believe a supportive team, reasonable expectations, and a positive work environment make a meaningful difference.
Who We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in a veterinarian with 3–5 or more years of small-animal clinical experience, although we welcome applications from candidates with other experience levels who would be a good fit for our team.
Our ideal candidate:
- Enjoys practicing comprehensive small-animal medicine and surgery.
- Values teamwork and respects the contributions of support staff.
- Communicates compassionately with clients and colleagues.
- Is confident in clinical decision-making while remaining open to collaboration.
- Wants to build lasting relationships with patients, clients, and coworkers.
- Is interested in becoming part of an independent practice for the long term.
Applicants must hold a DVM or equivalent veterinary degree and be licensed or eligible for licensure in Wisconsin.
Compensation & Benefits
We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package that recognizes the experience and contributions of our veterinarians, including:
- Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications.
- Full-time employment with flexible scheduling to support work-life balance.
- Paid time off (PTO).
- Continuing education (CE) allowance.
- Professional licensing and dues support.
- Health insurance benefits.
- Professional liability insurance coverage (PLIT).
What You'll Find at VVC
You'll join an established, independently owned veterinary hospital with a collaborative team and a loyal client community.
We encourage our veterinarians to share ideas, participate in practice decisions, and help shape the future of the hospital.
Our goal is to provide an environment where talented veterinary professionals can practice excellent medicine, feel respected, and build a rewarding long-term career.
Let's Have a Conversation
We understand that experienced veterinarians aren't always actively looking for a new position. Sometimes the right opportunity simply comes along.
If you're curious about what working in an independent, team-focused veterinary practice could look like, we'd welcome a confidential, no-pressure conversation.
