VCA All Pets Animal Hospital Salinas located in Salina, California is looking for an Associate Veterinarian who enjoys practicing advanced medicine with a cohesive, tenured team.

Current students or new graduates, apply today!

VCA takes pride in expanding the growth and skill set of new veterinarians.  We welcome newly graduated veterinarians (and current veterinary students) to apply to this position where they will receive individualized support with our 6-month mentorship program and a collaborative hospital team environment.

We are seeking an experienced Associate Veterinarian to join our 5-doctor, extended-hour small animal general and emergency practice!

The successful candidate will be an experienced veterinarian or confident new grad looking to provide excellent patient care and client service in a fast-paced clinic.  We offer an extensive mentoring program for recent graduates and see a variety of cases ranging from wellness to urgent care and beyond. 

VCA All Pets is a welcoming, busy practice that provides high quality, compassionate care with excellent customer service. Wellness and client education are a big part of our practice; however, we are also well-known for providing urgent and emergency care. It is a large part of what we do! With our extended hours, advanced equipment, and talented support staff we are able to provide that continuity of care that truly builds a partnership between the client and the hospital. 

Our facility is bright and spacious with five exam rooms and a large surgical suite. To provide excellent care we are equipped with in-house labs (including Vetscan CBC, chemistries, I-stat, PT/PTT and a variety of SNAP tests), endoscopy, surgical laser, orthopedic surgical equipment, ultrasound, digital radiography, and oxygen ICUs. Digital dental radiographs are offered for every patient undergoing dental prophylaxis, and VCA’s CareClub provides a cost-effective solution to developing a strong preventative care relationship.  \\Our well-trained and compassionate staff, as well as the VCA management team, are here to support you in providing the very best options for your clients. 

We are located in the charming city of Salinas in the heart of John Steinbeck country. It is a short drive to many wonderful outdoor recreation areas, Monterey/Carmel, Santa Cruz, and the rugged California coastline. Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area are less than an hour's drive – and yet still worlds apart from our quiet community.

At VCA we are committed to equity, inclusion, and diversity, and strive to be a place where a talented mix of people want to come, stay, and do their best work.
