Outstanding client care and communication skills are a must, as is strong diagnostic medicine with effective decision-making. Our experienced, long-term, and diverse support team helps in your efforts delivering exceptional patient care to our equally diverse clientele. Each day is a new day at Pulaski Animal Hospital, and your caseload will vary and exceed beyond wellness exams. Surgical skills desired, but not required. The renovated practice features a large in-house pharmacy, bright, modern treatment room, and large staff break room.
