Step Into the New Year as a Practice Leader

Managing Veterinarian (DVM/VMD) - Kettering, OH

The new year is the perfect time to take the next step in your veterinary career. Kettering Animal Hospital is offering an exciting opportunity for a motivated veterinarian to either grow into a Managing Veterinarian role or bring prior MDVM experience to lead our well-established, 4-doctor small animal practice.

Whether you're ready to lead now or prefer to transition into leadership from an associate role, we'll support your journey every step of the way with strong mentorship and experienced staff by your side.

Located in Kettering-Dayton's largest suburb-you'll enjoy easy access to great restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, all while working in a hospital known for progressive medicine and compassionate care. Many of our team members have been with us for decades, creating a stable, collaborative foundation for our next leader to build upon.

Why This Is a Fresh Start Worth Making

• Compensation up to $190K DOE, with production-based earnings
• Joint Venture partnership and hospital ownership options for the right candidate
• $20,000+ relocation assistance for MDVMs, supported by a corporate relocation partner
• The opportunity to shape medical direction and make a thriving hospital your own

The Hospital You'll Lead

Our fully equipped surgical and diagnostic suite supports high-quality medicine and clinical growth, including:

• CO₂ laser & cold therapy laser
• Digital radiology & digital dental X-ray
• Ultrasound & in-house lab
• Cardell monitoring, new surgical lighting
• 2 experienced RVTs and 5 skilled assistants supporting surgery

Practice Highlights

• Scheduled appointments only
• Electronic medical records
• No emergency hours
• Established local VMA and loyal client base

An interest in advanced surgical procedures is a plus-but not required. What matters most is your enthusiasm to lead, influence clinical excellence, and start the year building something meaningful.

Make this the year you step into leadership-and make your mark.
