Veterinarian | Burlington, IA

Overview

Grow Your Career on the Mississippi - With a Team That's Got Your Back

Full-Time Veterinarian | Allgood Animal Hospital | Burlington, IA

A six-figure base plus production, a generous signing bonus, and a tight-knit, tenured team - whether you're a seasoned doctor or just starting out. If you want to do great medicine alongside people who genuinely enjoy working together, you'll fit right in here.

Allgood Animal Hospital, a CareVet partner, is looking for a dynamic full-time veterinarian to join our fast-paced, two-doctor small animal practice. This is a place where collaboration is the norm and every day brings a new chance to make a difference.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Six-figure base plus production, with no negative accrual
• A generous signing bonus package
• New grads and experienced doctors both welcome - with a tenured team ready to support you
• Schedule flexibility and paid family leave to protect your life outside the clinic

The Opportunity

This is a great fit for an experienced or new-graduate veterinarian looking to grow their career as part of a tight-knit team that thrives on collaboration. Surgical skills are a plus - and so is a genuine desire to make a difference in a community whose mission is to provide authentic care by compassionately supporting and serving as a unified team, in harmony with our clients.

About the Hospital

We've proudly served the community since 1957. As a full-service companion animal hospital conveniently located in Burlington, we deliver sensitive, quality medical care tailored to each client's emotional and financial needs. Ours is a friendly workplace that encourages personal and professional growth, with real respect for the individual differences of coworkers, clients, and the animals in our care. We're proud to be a favorite among Southeast Iowa veterinarians.
