Join the Sweet River Equine Team – Where Passion Meets Purpose in the Heart of California Horse Country

Are you a new or early-career veterinarian with a love for horses and a desire to grow in a supportive, collaborative environment? Sweet River Equine Clinic, Inc. is looking for a full-time associate to join our exclusively equine practice in California’s Central Valley.

At Sweet River, we’re more than just a clinic—we’re a community. Our team of dedicated equine
veterinarians works together on cases, shares knowledge through weekly rounds, and supports each other in both professional and personal growth. We believe in mentorship, continued education, and creating a space where every team member feels valued and empowered.

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

• Balanced Lifestyle: We prioritize work-life balance so you can enjoy your career and your life
  outside of it.
• Collaborative Culture: Weekly rounds, shared on-call schedules, and a team-first mindset.
• Diverse Caseload: From working western horses to sport and pleasure horses, plus a robust
  reproduction program. We have approximately 50% haul-in and 50% ambulatory, with a one-hour
  radius.
• Modern Facility: Equipped with surgery suite, in-house lab, ultrasound, digital radiography,
  endoscopy, and more.
• Community Connection: We host annual client and farrier seminars and are deeply rooted in
  the local horse community.

Location Perks: Nestled near Modesto, with Oakdale—the Cowboy Capital of the World—just down the road, you’ll be part of a close-knit horse community. And when you’re not working? You’re just two hours from Yosemite’s trails, Napa’s vineyards, the Bay Area’s buzz, and the Sierra’s slopes. Enjoy a small-town vibe with big-time access to adventure!

New grads welcome! We offer strong mentorship, a competitive salary (based on experience), and a benefits package that includes license fees, PLIT, CE allowance, health insurance stipend, paid vacation,
and sick leave.

A current California veterinary license is required.
