About this role
Modern Animal operates a growing network of 13+ clinics across Southern California and is hiring a floating veterinarian to work part-time across multiple locations.

The role covers standard exams, drop-offs, urgent care, and procedures, with support from a 24/7 virtual care team and dedicated in-clinic staff.
The position appeals to veterinarians seeking flexibility without sacrificing quality practice. You'll work in modern clinic environments designed to reduce administrative burden through proprietary technology, allowing you to focus on medicine.
