Lead Veterinarian
Build & Launch a New Clinic (Built-In Client Base)
About Us
We’re launching a brand new veterinary clinic in Berthoud, CO, built in partnership with a well established dog boarding and daycare facility. This unique setup gives you a builtin client base from day one, a steady flow of patients, and the chance to shape a clinic from the ground up.
Our vision is to create a practice that blends highquality medicine with a supportive, low stress environment for both pets and people. You’ll be joining a leadership team that values collaboration, communication, and sustainable workloads
Build Something From Day One
- We’re opening a brand-new small animal clinic in Berthoud, CO, and we’re looking for a veterinarian who wants more than just a traditional associate role.
- This is a rare opportunity to step in as a Founding / Lead Veterinarian—helping design, launch, and grow a practice from the ground up—with profit share participation and a built-in client base from an established, high-traffic dog boarding and daycare facility located on-site.
- You’ll have the unique opportunity to help build your team, shape your schedule, and practice medicine the way you believe it should be practiced.
Why This Role is Different
- Immediate caseload from a busy, on-site boarding/daycare facility
- Dedicated support staff will be hired, so you can focus on practicing medicine—not doing it all
- Leadership role from day one with influence over protocols, workflow, and client experience
- Entrepreneurial environment with the support and stability of an established business
What You’ll Do
- Provide high-quality general practice care (wellness, diagnostics, dentistry, and surgery)
- Collaborate with the boarding/daycare team to support pets on-site
- Help build clinic protocols, standards of care, and workflows
- Partner in hiring and shaping your support team (techs, assistants, front desk)
- Develop strong client relationships through education and communication
- Play a key role in shaping the clinic’s culture, reputation, and growth
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary
- Performance bonus opportunities
- Health benefits
- Generous PTO + paid holidays
- CE allowance + paid CE days
- Paid licensing, American Veterinary Medical Association / CVMA dues, and PLIT coverage
- A leadership team committed to work-life balance and long-term sustainability
Who This Role Is Perfect For
- A licensed DVM (new grad or experienced) who wants more ownership and impact
- Someone excited by the idea of building—not just maintaining—a practice
- A collaborative, team-oriented veterinarian who enjoys working alongside a broader pet care team
- A doctor who values high-quality medicine without corporate pressure or quotas
- This is an ideal role for a veterinarian who has considered ownership but prefers a lower-risk path with built-in infrastructure and demand.
