Are you a compassionate, team-oriented professional who loves working with animals?
Do you thrive in a supportive environment where you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and their people? If so, we’d love to meet you!
At Codornices Veterinary Clinic, we’re looking for someone who shares our passion for strengthening the human-animal bond and providing high-quality, personalized veterinary care. Join our experienced, close-knit team of veterinarians, RVTs, veterinary assistants, and client service representatives as we work together to help our community’s pets live happy, healthy lives.
We believe that our people are the heart of our practice. Our culture is built on collaboration, mutual respect, and genuine care—for our patients, our clients, and one another. If you’re looking for a team that feels like family, this could be the perfect fit for you.
Founded in 1978 by the beloved (and now retired) Dr. Richard Hack, Codornices Veterinary Clinic has earned a strong reputation in the East Bay for providing modern, sensible, and individualized veterinary care. Today, our team of four dedicated doctors continues Dr. Hack’s legacy by working closely with pet parents to deliver the best possible care for every patient.
“The work environment is very family-oriented, and we’re all very close. We show compassion for our patients and their owners and work to the best of our ability every day.”
— Marjorie Mendez, RVT
