Littlestown Veterinary Hospital is a full-service, primary care practice. We provide a variety of services including wellness and sick patient care, medical diagnostics, and on-site surgeries.

We're looking for a compassionate, collaborative Associate Veterinarian to join our team. Whether you're an experienced DVM or a recent graduate, you'll find a supportive environment where you're encouraged to practice medicine your way while continuing to grow. Our experienced veterinarians genuinely enjoy mentoring and are committed to helping new associates build confidence, develop their clinical interests, and achieve their professional goals.

Our hospital provides a diverse caseload that includes preventive care, wellness medicine, surgery, dentistry, and exotic animal medicine. We see a wide variety of exotic species, making this an excellent opportunity for veterinarians who already enjoy working with exotics or are excited to gain more experience. Our team is always happy to share knowledge, making it easy to expand your skills in a collaborative setting.

Dentistry is an important part of what we do. We perform a high volume of dental procedures and place a strong emphasis on oral health, preventive care, and client education. Whether you're already comfortable with dentistry or looking to strengthen your skills, you'll have the support and hands-on mentorship needed to continue developing in this area.

As a Fear Free Certified practice, we're committed to creating a low-stress, positive experience for both our patients and their families. We believe that compassionate handling and thoughtful communication are just as important as excellent medicine, and we're proud of the calm, supportive environment we've built for our team, our clients, and their pets.

Our hospital is located in a scenic rural community known for its beautiful orchards, just five minutes from the Maryland border. It's an ideal setting for those who appreciate a quieter pace of life while still having convenient access to neighboring communities.

One of the things we're most proud of is the relationships we've built over the years. Many of our clients have trusted us with their pets since the practice first opened, creating a loyal, multi-generational client base that values the personalized care we provide. Those lasting relationships allow us to practice high-quality medicine while becoming a meaningful part of the community we serve.

If you're looking for a practice where you'll be supported by an experienced team, encouraged to continue learning, and welcomed into a close-knit hospital with dedicated clients and a collaborative culture, we'd love to meet you.
