What are virtual animals?

Virtual animals are computer-generated or digitally created representations of real or imaginary animals. They are commonly used in video games, educational software, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and social media platforms. These digital creatures can be programmed with behaviors, appearances, and interactions, allowing users to engage with them for entertainment, learning, or companionship. The development of virtual animals involves 3D modeling, animation, artificial intelligence, and sometimes user input for customization.

Prefer to watch instead of read? Check out "Inside Modern Animal" for a glimpse into what makes Modern Animal different. 

With a technology-forward approach and a deep commitment to our people, Modern Animal is building the next generation of general practice veterinary care-one that balances the needs of practitioners just as much as pet owners and their animals. Our veterinarians are equipped with the tools, structure and support they need to practice the highest quality of medicine, without compromising on the boundaries between work and life. 

What you can expect at Modern Animal:

  • Warm, modern clinic environments that put you, the client, and the pet at ease
  • A 24/7 virtual care team there for your patients as an added layer of support
  • A dedicated in-clinic support team empowered to be involved more deeply in care
  • Structured schedules that give you time to catch your breath-you'll work a single flow per shift (exam, urgent, or procedure)
  • Grow your skills and career path how you want with mentorship programs, support for CE, and clear career growth paths
  • A growth oriented organization ever evolving to build a better place for all
  • Thoughtful onboarding and training that's customizable for your individual needs
  • An in-house technology platform built to reduce the time you spend on admin tasks and take the headache out of record-keeping
  • A vibrant, supportive, blame-free culture made up of people who are all here to change veterinary medicine for the better

To help you live well:

  • Guaranteed salaries
  • Sign-on bonus
  • No non-competes
  • Annual CE allowance and paid CE days
  • Paid time off, paid sick time, paid parental leave, and paid holidays
  • Stellar benefits package including health, dental, vision, and 401K with a company match
  • Access to Spring Health for behavioral and mental health support
  • Free membership to Modern Animal and discount services for your pets 

To apply, you must have:

  • Graduate of an AVMA-accredited veterinary school or completed requirements to practice in the United States
  • Active license to practice veterinary medicine in California required at the start of employment
  • License must be in good standing with no malpractice or disciplinary actions

The pay range for this position is $143,000 - $220,000 annually; however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. A sign-on bonus may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the position offered. This information is provided per the California Pay Transparency Act. Base pay information is based on geographic location.
