VCA Valley Animal Hospital and Emergency Center is searching for a board-certified or residency-trained Veterinary Dentist, to join our team in sunny Tucson, Arizona.

At VCA Valley Animal Hospital and Emergency Center, we've helped pets live longer, healthier lives for more than 60 years. Our breadth of experience, facilities, and capabilities are unmatched in Tucson. Our hospital underwent a major renovation and our new, state-of-the-art 23,000 sq. foot facilities are ready for a dental specialist.

Enjoy our brand new dental suites, 3 large OR's, a 64 slice CT scanner, Cold Laser, and so much more while enjoying the spectacular year-round weather and breathtaking mountain views from the hospital.

Warm weather, sunny skies, and little to no snow each year are not the only reasons live in Tucson. Residents enjoy a cost of living that is lower than the national average, with housing costs that are 25% lower than the national average. As the home of the University of Arizona, the community's Wildcat pride runs deep, with spectators cheering on football, basketball, baseball, and soccer games throughout the year. The revitalization of the Rio Nuevo District and development of the Sun Link streetcar has helped transform the city center into a hub for the arts, business, and entertainment.

When it comes to Tucson's outdoor attractions, exploring the area’s wide open spaces and natural beauty are some of the best things to do. Hit the trails or go horseback riding at Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, check out different Sonoran Desert habitats and trek through 21 acres of native plants at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. You can go camping and practice archery at Tucson Mountain Park. Head into the Santa Catalina Recreation Area to make your way up Mount Lemmon for incredible views of the valley. There are endless options for hikers and rock climbers! You can also find some of Arizona’s best golf courses and tournaments in Tucson.
