We are a 100% avian and exotics hospital in Southern California. We practice high quality, highly compassionate medicine. Our clientele is devoted and caring, and interested in thorough diagnostic work ups, proper treatments, and advanced procedures. We have cultivated a team-based, positive and supportive environment. We promote personal wellness as well as veterinary growth. We have 3-4 doctors working every shift, which means that there is always another exotics-experienced veterinarian to discuss cases with.  We work four 10hr shifts, which allows enough time off for a personal life. Another perk at our hospital is working with our terrific and highly trained staff. Our technicians are very skilled and are comfortable handling, restraining, intubating, performing venipuncture on, caring for and administering treatments to all species. In addition, the technicians are responsible for comprehensive husbandry education and detailed demonstrations for the clients. This frees up the doctors to concentrate on diagnostics and managing cases.

Exotic Animal Veterinary Center has all the toys: Vimago CT scanner, digital radiology, ultrasound, rigid endoscopy, in house laboratory, and therapy laser. We utilize a nearby facility for radiation and use a mobile ultrasound specialist as needed. We see about 40% rabbits, 20% birds, 20% reptiles, and 20% rodents, ferrets, pet pigs, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, wildlife and fish.

Pasadena is located in sunny southern California, nestled between Los Angeles, the mountains, ocean and desert. Our location offers numerous cultural amenities and recreational opportunities nearby. Internship or 1 year of veterinary experience preferred, willing to mentor new graduates.

Benefits include generous signing bonus, medical and dental insurance, 401K, CE/Dues allowance, paid vacation and paid CE days, and discounted pet services.  We encourage and support special interests and CE and will cover the costs of ultrasound training, acupuncture certification and specialty board certification. Compensation is negotiable based on credentials and experience. Base salary ranges from $120,000 to 140,000 annually plus production.

1 year experience or Internship preferred. New graduates welcome.
