Town & Country Veterinary Clinic is a friendly, growing small animal veterinary practice nestled in beautiful rural upstate New York. We have an immediate opening for a full-time small animal veterinarian to join our welcoming team. Our practice includes three conveniently located veterinary clinics: one by Ogdensburg, another in the Potsdam/Canton area, and a third in the village of Massena. All three clinics are within 30–45 minutes of each other, making teamwork and support easy. Plus, we’re just a short drive from vibrant cities like Syracuse, Lake Placid, Ottawa, and Montreal—so you get the best of peaceful countryside and city adventures.

Each of our veterinary clinics is equipped with the latest digital X-ray units, in-house blood lab stations, surgical and therapeutic lasers, and ultrasound technology—ensuring high-quality veterinary care for every patient. Our certified veterinary technicians and friendly support staff are dedicated to outstanding client service. We welcome new graduates and offer strong mentorship to help you grow and thrive in your veterinary career. We also believe in a healthy work-life balance—our veterinarians enjoy a guaranteed 3-day weekend every other week, giving you plenty of time to relax and recharge.

We’re searching for enthusiastic veterinary professionals who enjoy both medicine and surgery and who value building lasting relationships with pets, clients, and colleagues. If you’re a team player who is passionate about making a positive impact, you’ll feel right at home with our veterinary family.

Upstate New York is a paradise for outdoor lovers—with scenic hiking trails, abundant opportunities for fishing and hunting, and beautiful natural surroundings to explore.
