Our hospital primarily sees small animals, with approximately 10% exotic cases, and is equipped with ultrasound and dental X-ray. The practice includes two exam rooms, a surgical suite, boarding kennels, and an open treatment area. Our treatment and lab spaces were recently remodeled with updated wet tables, improved lighting, and a more open, functional layout.

• Team bonding activities throughout the year

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced veterinarian who is comfortable managing a busy caseload and enjoys working collaboratively with a well-established support team. The ideal candidate values a family-style practice environment, strong client relationships, and being part of a team that has worked together for years.

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
