Clayton Animal Hospital is growing, and we're looking for another amazing veterinarian to join our collaborative and passionate team! If you're driven by high-quality medicine, strong client relationships, and the opportunity to work with a diverse caseload, we'd love to meet you.

Why Clayton Animal Hospital?

We're more than a small-animal practice. In addition to dogs and cats, we proudly care for exotics, including reptiles, birds, and small mammals/pocket pets. Our team has a strong passion for diagnostics and surgery, and we regularly utilize laser therapy and ultrasound to deliver advanced, thoughtful care.

We believe the best veterinarians are not only skilled clinicians but also trusted partners in pet care-professionals who communicate clearly, build relationships, and guide clients with empathy and confidence. If that sounds like you, you'll feel right at home here.
