“Working at GDB enables me to combine my love of veterinary medicine with my passion for service-oriented work. At the end of the day, I am helping improve animal health, strengthening the human-animal bond, and contributing to the longevity of working dog teams. There are not many jobs that make you feel like you’ve positively contributed to society. GDB will fill that role AND you get licked on the face by a puppy.”Staff Veterinarian

Why the Veterinary Department
At GDB, you’ll become an expert on our yellow and black Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Lab/Golden crosses, who are bred and born on our San Rafael, California campus and begin socialization as early as three days old. You will work with state-of-the-art equipment while caring for our calm, professional dogs.
Our top priority is the quality of care we provide our guide dogs throughout their lives. We are deeply committed to supporting our dogs’ health and well-being, so you will be empowered to deliver all the care that you deem necessary with minimal financial constraints.
At GDB, there is always something new to learn. You will hone and expand your knowledge in a wide variety of areas like neonatal care, breeding, canine reproduction, spaying/neutering, laparoscopic surgery, ultrasound, and more. We support continuing education and professional development that aligns with our goals.
The teamwork at GDB is exceptional, both within the veterinary department and across the entire organization. Because we all share the same passion for our mission, you’ll experience strong support from colleagues and make meaningful connections.
Balance is excellent at GDB, with reasonable schedules and the flexibility that helps you integrate your work and life. We offer ample vacation and holiday days. Our wellness program is another great perk, with an onsite fitness center, yoga, daily stretching, and massages. And we offer great CE benefits, as well as an annual shoe and uniform allowance.
