Overview
A Team That Stays. A Bonus Up to $125K. A Place to Call Home.
Associate Veterinarian | Berry Animal Clinic | Decatur, AL
A six-figure salary plus production, a bonus package valued up to $125,000, and a family-like team where people actually stick around — 4+ years average tenure. If you want great medicine, real support, and a workplace you look forward to, this is the role.
Berry Animal Clinic, a CareVet partner, is looking for an experienced veterinarian to join our incredible three-doctor team in Decatur, Alabama — with outstanding clinical support and genuine work-life balance.
Why This Role Stands Out

Six-figure base plus production, with strong clinical support
A team that stays — members average 4+ years of tenure
A family-like culture where collaboration, laughter, and excellent medicine go hand in hand
A well-equipped hospital and a consistent, rewarding caseload
