A budget and additional training days are available for external continuing education. As part of the fifteen‑month internship, junior colleagues receive very intensive support, so newly qualified veterinarians are also very welcome.

The veterinary clinic is centrally located in Cologne and is very well connected to public transport, should you prefer to live in a rural area. A well‑behaved dog can of course be brought along as well. For us, friendliness and empathy toward our patients and clients come first. A collegial, professional approach with one another is also a matter of course for us. If you have these qualities, we would be pleased to receive your application.
