The Virginia Beach SPCA (VBSPCA) Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic has been serving owners and companion animals of the Virginia Beach community for more than 30 years. The clinic is an extension of the VBSPCA’s mission to eliminate animal suffering by ensuring that all cats and dogs have access to affordable veterinary care. 


Our talented team of clinic professionals includes Veterinarians, Vet Techs, Vet Assistants, and Client Service Representatives, each providing critical skills to ensure that we can meet the growing public demand of our services.

Additional responsibilities include maintaining a clean and professional exam and surgical room appearance, promoting and maintaining the humane care and treatment of animals at all times, and fully participating in clinic efforts to offer all clients superior customer service. This position serves in our clinic building as well as in our mobile Neuter Scooter.


The VBSPCA clinic is an extremely active facility and we strive to offer quality customer care. If you enjoy being around animals, if you have great customer service skills, if you are organized, and if you enjoy an active environment, we encourage you to apply. The VBSPCA is a great place to work and we are centered around a mission of eliminating animal suffering and increasing human compassion.
