Career Center

Amongst the tall oaks and the bends of the American River, VCA Sunset Animal Medical Center is located just northwest of the Sacramento area right in the midst of the local community of Fair Oaks. This location in Sacramento County offers the best the outdoors has to offer: hiking, swimming, fishing, or rafting among all the beauty of nature and wildlife. We are located just a couple hours from the beaches of the Pacific Ocean or the shores of Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Mountains.  The surrounding area offers amazing dining and shopping and opportunity for night life or family fun.  There are many local parks, dog parks, grooming facilities, pet stores, and local shelters throughout the area that serve our clients and their pets.  VCA Sunset is a part of that community and want you to join too!

VCA Sunset Animal Medical Center is looking for an Associate Veterinarian who enjoys practicing advanced medicine with our cohesive, tenured team.  We are a 3-doctor practice, with a support staff of 30+ members and a high potential for growth. Our practice offers high-quality, state-of-the-art veterinary care to our patients and patient care remains our top priority at this hospital.  Our hospital is open to negotiate a schedule that works well with your lifestyle.
