Job description

This is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian looking for strong work-life balance, clinical autonomy, and the chance to work in a supportive two-doctor environment that genuinely values quality medicine and client relationships.

This growing general practice has built a loyal client base through its compassionate approach to care and strong emphasis on client education. The hospital is passionate about preventative medicine and helping pet owners better understand nutrition, exercise, wellness care, and long-term health management for their pets. The team takes pride in building lasting relationships with clients while maintaining a positive, low-stress environment for both staff and patients.

The practice is equipped with modern diagnostic and surgical capabilities including IDEXX in-house laboratory equipment, digital radiography, and a dedicated surgical suite. Doctors also benefit from dedicated surgical days and a private doctors' office, helping create a smooth and efficient workflow throughout the day. Whether your interests lean more toward appointments, surgery, or a mix of both, the hospital leadership is open to tailoring the role around your strengths and clinical interests.

One of the standout features of this opportunity is the schedule, a consistent 4-day work week designed to support excellent work-life balance while still offering strong earning potential through a competitive base salary and production bonuses. Both full-time and part-time candidates will be considered.
