Associate Veterinarian

Best Friends Animal Hospital | Chambersburg, PA

Love where you work—and who you work with.

At Best Friends Animal Hospital, we believe the best veterinary medicine happens when great people come together. We're looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our close-knit, collaborative team where you'll be supported by experienced technicians, modern technology, and a culture built on compassion, teamwork, and genuinely enjoying what you do every day.

Our hospital is equipped to help you practice exceptional medicine, with four exam rooms, a dedicated comfort room, digital full-body and dental radiology, ultrasound, companion laser therapy, lift and weight tables, and fully equipped treatment, surgical, and laboratory areas. Whether you enjoy wellness care, internal medicine, dentistry, or surgery, you'll have the tools and support to provide outstanding care while building lasting relationships with your clients and patients.

Whether you're an experienced veterinarian or a new graduate seeking mentorship, you'll find a team that values collaboration, encourages professional growth, and supports your individual interests. We believe in giving our doctors the autonomy to practice great medicine while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

We know choosing your next hospital is about more than compensation, but we think you'll appreciate what we have to offer. Along with a competitive base salary of $115,000–$130,000, we offer production bonuses, a generous signing bonus, comprehensive health benefits, a 401(k) with employer match, paid CE and licensure, student loan assistance, and opportunities to grow your career within NVA.

If you're looking for a place where you'll feel supported, appreciated, and excited to come to work each day, we'd love to welcome you to the Best Friends Animal Hospital family.
