Associate Veterinarian in St. Paul, MN!

Life Care Animal Hospital — Associate Veterinarian Opportunity in Saint Paul, MN
Where Paws and People Thrive Together

Life Care Animal Hospital is on the hunt for an Associate Veterinarian ready to join our paw-some team! Located in beautiful Saint Paul, Minnesota, our full-service small animal practice has been providing top-notch medical, surgical, and client care for over 60 years. We’re proud to be the community’s trusted spot where tails wag and purrs abound.

What We Bring to the Exam Room:
Our diagnostic toolkit is fully loaded — featuring an in-house IDEXX lab, digital radiography (including dental), and mobile specialists who swoop in for ultrasounds and echocardiograms like superheroes in scrubs. We’ve recently given our clinic a facelift — think new floors, fresh paint, LED lighting, upgraded HVAC, and a lobby coffee bar that’s just as essential as a good stethoscope.

Our Support Staff: The Real MVPs
Our techs and assistants are trained to handle everything from radiographs to IV catheters, intubations, and patient monitoring — empowering vets to focus on healing rather than herding cats. Every doctor here enjoys the reliable support of about 2.5 dedicated techs per shift, so you’ll never feel like you’re flying solo on surgery day.

Surgical & Dental Excellence:
We’re equipped to handle everything from routine soft tissue surgeries to advanced dentistry, with the option to call on board-certified surgeons for the trickier cases. Our surgery suite is fully stocked with surgical lasers, warming devices, and all the bells and whistles to keep patients comfortable and safe. Our dental suite includes a high-speed Midmark unit and digital dental radiography — because even a tooth deserves a high-tech spa day.

Culture & Community:
Work hard, play harder! Our team isn’t just a workplace family — we unwind by throwing axes (yes, axes!) and painting masterpieces while sipping wine. Led by Dr. Guettinger, who truly values work/life balance, and a practice manager who keeps the wheels turning smoothly, we foster a supportive environment where everyone feels valued.

About St. Paul: Nestled on the east side of this vibrant city, our neighborhood offers an eclectic mix of culture, cuisine, history, and coffee shops that are almost as energizing as your first cup of morning java. From swing dancing in Wabasha Street Caves to cheering on the Minnesota Wild, life here is anything but ruff.

Ideal Candidate:

• Active Minnesota Veterinary License (because practicing without one is a real cat-astrophe)
• A team player who thrives in a collaborative, family-style culture (we don’t do lone wolves here)
• Ideally, 2+ years of clinical experience to hit the ground running (or trotting!)

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary plus monthly production bonus (no negative accrual—because your hard work should pay off!)

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Paid time off so you can recharge your batteries (or your patient’s!)

• Wellness programs and professional development support

• Paid CE days and funding to keep your skills sharp

• 401(k) with employer match 

• Leadership training and mentorship programs

• Paid parental leave

• License/dues fees covered

• Flexible schedule and relocation assistance available
