What Types of Veterinary Jobs Are There?

How Much Do Veterinarians and Vet Techs Earn?

In the Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS May 2025 national release, the median annual wage is $130,100 for veterinarians (SOC 29-1131) and $47,380 for veterinary technologists and technicians (SOC 29-2056).

The veterinarian salary guide and the vet tech salary guide break those figures down by percentile and state; individual listings show the employer's own pay range where the practice publishes one.

Hiring Veterinary Professionals? Post a Job

Veterinary practices pay to post; job seekers never pay to browse or apply.

A Standard listing costs $199 and a Featured listing $399 at launch pricing (regular $299 and $499): a one-time payment, live for 30 days, with no auto-renewal.

Featured listings get a highlighted card and top-of-feed placement, and every listing is indexed in Google Jobs.

Veterinary Job Search Questions

01What veterinary jobs are open near me?

The feed at the top of this page shows the newest veterinary jobs, Featured listings first, and the live count beside it shows how many are open right now. To narrow by location, open the job page for your role, such as veterinary technician jobs or veterinarian jobs: each lists openings by state and city wherever there are live listings. The count changes daily as practices post and fill roles.

02Is it free to apply for veterinary jobs on VeterinaryHires?

Yes.

Browsing and applying are free for job seekers.

Clicking Apply on a listing takes you to the employer's own application, so you apply directly to the practice rather than through VeterinaryHires.

There is no account to create and no resume to upload here.

Employers pay to post their jobs, which is how the site is funded.

03What is a Featured veterinary job listing?

A Featured listing is one a practice has paid to highlight.

It sits at the top of the feed, ahead of the newest standard listings, on a highlighted card with a colored accent stripe down its left edge.

The job and the application route are the same as any other listing; the difference is placement, not the role itself.

04Where do the veterinary job listings come from?

Listings are a mix of jobs posted directly by veterinary practices and jobs gathered from employers' public career pages.

Every one is a role inside a veterinary practice: general practice, emergency and specialty, or relief work.

Because practices post and fill jobs every day, the number of open listings changes daily rather than staying fixed.
