About Belton Animal Clinic & Exotic Care Center
Founded in 1950, Belton Animal Clinic & Exotic Care Center has served the Kansas City metro area for more than 75 years and has earned a reputation as one of the Midwest's premier destinations for exotic animal medicine. While our practice provides high-quality care for dogs and cats, approximately 20% of our caseload consists of exotic patients, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, reptiles, amphibians, and other small mammals.
What makes Belton Animal Clinic & Exotic Care Center unique is the opportunity to learn directly from a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Exotic Companion Mammal Medicine. With more than 30 years of experience, our Medical Director also holds certifications in acupuncture, veterinary medical manipulation, and TCVM palliative and end-of-life care, offering a well-rounded perspective on patient treatment and wellness.
This is an exceptional opportunity for veterinarians who are interested in expanding their knowledge of exotic animal medicine while receiving hands-on mentorship from a nationally recognized leader in the field. Whether you're a new graduate building your foundation or an experienced veterinarian looking to broaden your skillset, you'll benefit from case collaboration, individualized guidance, and professional development designed to help you grow with confidence.
Our large, modern facility is equipped with 8 exam rooms, a fully equipped surgical suite, dedicated treatment areas, separate feline, euthanasia, and quarantine spaces, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, ultrasound, IDEXX and Abaxis in-house laboratories, MidMark Dental Delivery Unit, and VetRec AI notetaking software. We are supported by a collaborative team of experienced technicians, assistants, and client service representatives who are invested in delivering exceptional patient care and helping each veterinarian succeed.
Belton is part of the greater Kansas City metro area, offering an affordable cost of living, short commutes, and access to some of the region's most desirable communities including Lee's Summit, Overland Park, and Olathe. You'll enjoy top-rated schools, an outstanding food and arts scene, and the kind of work-life balance that actually holds up outside of work.
This role offers the unique opportunity to build a rewarding career in exotic animal medicine while enjoying the affordability, convenience, and amenities of the greater Kansas City area. If you have a genuine interest in exotic animal medicine and are eager to learn from a board-certified specialist with more than 30 years of experience, you'll find an exceptional opportunity to build a rewarding and unique veterinary career here.
We are dedicated to establishing a culture that celebrates all forms of diversity and allows us to be an inclusive service provider in this community.
