Company Overview

Livewell Animal Hospital in Draper is a brand-new small animal general practice built on a foundation of compassion, collaboration, and exceptional patient care. Dr. Graham and our team are committed to creating a positive, supportive environment where every teammate feels empowered to grow, contribute, and succeed. Our comprehensive services include wellness and preventive care, diagnostics, dentistry, and a range of surgical procedures, from soft tissue to orthopedic surgery.
We believe a strong team is built with these three non-negotiables: Professionalism, Care, and Accountability. Professionalism means showing up consistently with your best, bringing a positive attitude, and treating teammates and clients with respect. Care means leading with compassion for our patients, providing high-quality care for patients and their families, and supporting one another. Accountability means taking ownership of our responsibilities, following through on our commitments, and always striving to do what’s best for our patients. These values guide how we work together and the quality of medicine we deliver every day.
At Livewell, your growth matters just as much as the exceptional care we provide to our patients and their families. We prioritize continuous learning, mentorship, and professional development, offering access to internal specialty consultations, educational resources, and personalized career pathways.
Our initial schedule of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, (with Sundays and Wednesdays off), provides a consistent routine that allows you to plan ahead, recharge, and enjoy the activities that matter most to you.
Located at the base of Utah’s beautiful Wasatch Mountains, Draper offers an outstanding blend of outdoor adventure, community connection, and convenient city living. With an extensive trail system, access to public transit to the ski slopes, local dining and shopping, and a lively calendar of community events, there’s always something to enjoy beyond the clinic. Just 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, Draper makes it easy to balance the best of city life with the beauty of the outdoors. At Livewell, we believe a fulfilling career should complement a fulfilling life.
If you’re looking for a workplace where professionalism, compassion, and accountability are more than just words—and where you can build a meaningful veterinary career without losing sight of life outside the clinic—we’d love to welcome you to Livewell Animal Hospital in Draper.
