Do you want to practice good medicine and be an active part of creating a positive and fun culture? Do you love learning, trying new things, and are not afraid to take a few risks to create something new? Then Colony Veterinary Hospital is the place for you!

Colony Veterinary Hospital in La Jolla CA is looking for an experienced veterinarian to work in our small animal hospital.  We have two locations close to each other & we are looking for a doctor in both locations.  We have the normal “bells & whistles” as well as cold laser therapy, a urine sediment reader, & EMR with Avimark.  We also work with mobile specialists & have excellent referral hospitals within 5-10 minutes of our hospital (so no on-call or after-hours required).  We have a “non-corporate” mindset, and we encourage self-care and work-life-balance.  Our hospital’s purpose is to help protect the love that pets bring their people each day. 

Our competitive benefits package includes:

• 100-140k basic (range based on skills).
• Health insurance
• Licensing & professional dues
• Liability insurance
• CE budget – this is potentially unlimited.
• Generous PTO & paid sick leave.
• 401K plan

We are looking for a veterinarian who has a great bedside manner and can provide exceptional medical care.  Our ideal candidate will not only share in our values but be willing to help lead others towards our vision as well.  Our leadership team helps support our team members with regular meetings and strong communication.

“I would not be where I am without you and the team. It’s going to be very difficult to find anywhere with ownership and work culture like Colony, and it truly breaks my heart to have to leave.” Dr. Sarina Pacifici (UC Davis 2020)

We would prefer a candidate who has at least 3 years of experience, or is internship trained.  We are open to supporting growth if you have an interest in development your skills further.  An interest in exotics is a plus as one our locations is well known for this.
