Job description

You were made to save animals, we take care of the rest.

Emergency Associate Veterinarian – Southern Alberta Veterinary Emergency

We strive to foster strong partnerships within the veterinary community, working collaboratively to enhance the quality of care for our furry companions. We provide high‑quality walk‑in urgent care, diagnostics, and referral appointments for our specialty departments. Our facility is equipped with advanced in‑house diagnostic equipment including CT scan, X‑ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy tools to thoroughly assess and diagnose the health of patients with precision and expertise.

• The team consists of experienced veterinary professionals with extensive surgical experience who can perform a range of surgeries including emergency, orthopedic, soft tissue, exploratory, and wound repair.

SAVE is part of the VetStrategy group of clinics located in Okotoks, Alberta. We are open 7 days/week, 24 hours a day.

VetStrategy is a 100% Canadian‑operated group of veterinary clinics with locations throughout Canada. We believe that veterinary clinics are an integral part of the community they serve and as such we put a large focus on community‑based activities and initiatives. Every clinic we partner with is unique and serves a very diverse client base.

• With the Sheep River running directly through town and it being approximately 38 km south of downtown Calgary, Okotoks provides you with everything you’ll need and more. Okotoks has emerged as a bedroom community of Calgary and, according to a 2021 census, it is the largest town in Alberta. It is also under 2 hours from the Fortress Ski resort and is famous for the Glacier rock that still remains outside of the town’s outskirts.

What’s in it for You?

• Competitive compensation with bonus potential, VIN membership, licensing dues paid.

• Exposure to a wide range of cases that will challenge and enhance your skills with opportunities to work at other clinics.
• Recognition for work well done.
• Generous personal pet policy benefits including food and services.
• Ability to collaborate with a team of experienced and passionate professionals on a diverse range of cases.
