Paws & Claws Animal Hospital
Lambertville, MI
Medical Director- Paws and Claws Animal Hospital | Lambertville

Are you an experienced veterinarian with leadership aspirations, but looking for the right opportunity to grow into a Medical Director role with support and mentorship?

Paws and Claws Animal Hospital is excited to offer a unique succession planning opportunity for a DVM who wants to step into leadership the right way-with guidance, collaboration, and a thoughtful transition plan in place.

About Us
At Paws and Claws Animal Hospital, we've built a strong reputation for providing high-quality, compassionate care for pets and their families in the Lambertville community and surrounding areas.
Our hospital offers a full range of services including preventive care, diagnostics, surgery, and dentistry. We pride ourselves on our supportive team culture, strong client relationships, and commitment to practicing progressive, high-quality medicine.

The Opportunity: A Path to Medical Director

This is not your typical leadership role.

You'll join initially as an Associate Veterinarian, working closely alongside our current Medical Director, who is actively planning and seeking a successor. Over time, you'll be mentored and gradually transition into the Medical Director position.

This role is ideal for someone who:
• Wants to grow into leadership with hands-on mentorship
• Values a collaborative and thoughtful transition, not being thrown in
• Is motivated to shape the future of a hospital while honoring its legacy

What You'll Do
• Provide high-quality medical, surgical, and dental care
• Build strong relationships with clients and patients
• Collaborate closely with the current Medical Director and team
• Gradually take on leadership responsibilities, including:
o Mentoring and supporting fellow DVMs
o Contributing to medical protocols and standards of care
o Helping guide hospital growth and team development

What We're Looking For
• DVM/VMD from an accredited veterinary school
• 3-5+ years of small animal clinical experience
• Strong foundation in medicine, surgery, and dentistry
• Interest in leadership, mentorship, and team development
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• A desire to build long-term relationships within the hospital and community

Our Investment in You
• Competitive base salary + production (no negative accrual)
• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (with HSA options)
• 401(k) options
• Generous PTO and flexible scheduling
• Paid CE days + CE allowance
• Paid licensure, dues, and AVMA PLIT coverage
• Personal pet discounts

Schedule
Flexible full-time scheduling
Work-life balance is a priority-let's build a schedule that works for you

If you're looking for more than just your next job-and instead want a clear, supported path into veterinary leadership, we'd love to connect.

Apply today to begin your journey toward Medical Director at Paws and Claws Animal Hospital.
