VCA Chatsworth Veterinary Center is seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join our AAHA-accredited, small animal practice in Chatsworth, California—located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley.

We have been serving the local community for nearly 30 years. We pride ourselves on providing extraordinary technical support to our doctors and delivering the highest quality medicine and exceptional service with a personal touch to our clients—all in a supportive and friendly work environment. 

We are centrally located yet removed from the hustle bustle of Los Angeles.  Chatsworth is 45 minutes or less from the beach, downtown L.A., Ventura, Pasadena and Beverly Hills.  It consists of residential neighborhoods, any number of small businesses, horse properties, large open-spaces, and smaller recreational parks as well as a public library and an Amtrak station. Chatsworth has seven public and eight private schools.  While a part of Greater Los Angeles, Chatsworth retains a small-town feel.
