Description

Family Practice for Pets is a privately owned, two-hospital small animal practice located in Northeast San Antonio. Our first hospital, Kitty Hawk Animal Hospital (Universal City), has proudly served the community since 1985. In 2020, we expanded with Turning Stone Animal Hospital in Cibolo to support our growing and loyal client base.

Both locations are conveniently located within 10 minutes of Randolph Air Force Base, 30 minutes from downtown San Antonio, and about an hour from Austin.

We’re seeking an Associate Veterinarian who is curious, collaborative, and motivated to grow. Whether you’re an experienced doctor or a newer graduate, you’ll thrive here if you value mentorship, teamwork, and having your voice heard.

With over 150 years of combined veterinary experience among our doctors, we offer a structured, well-rounded mentorship program in a truly supportive environment.
