Veterinarian – Split Role Between Two Compassionate Clinics (Leesville & DeRidder, LA)

We’re hiring an experienced, passionate, and dedicated Veterinarian to split time between two well-established, community-focused animal hospitals in Leesville and DeRidder, Louisiana. This unique opportunity allows you to experience diverse caseloads and practice in both small animal and mixed animal settings—while enjoying a supportive team and small-town lifestyle. The candidate must have at least 1 year of experience.

About the Clinics:

Entrance Road Veterinary Clinic – Leesville, LA

We’re a companion animal practice focused on dogs, cats, and the occasional small pet. Located just outside Fort Polk, we pride ourselves on treating every patient with the love and care we’d give our own pets. Services include soft tissue surgery, wound treatment, spays/neuters, and general wellness care.

Hayes Veterinary Hospital – DeRidder, LA

Our team provides high-quality care to a wide variety of animals—from cats and dogs to livestock, bovines, and small ruminants. We’re a long-standing presence in the DeRidder community and offer both expert medicine and a deeply compassionate approach to animal care.

What We Offer:

• Competitive starting base salary plus production
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, ancillary coverage, and 401K match
• Attractive PTO and a schedule promoting work-life balance—4 days per week (2 days at each hospital), and 1 Saturday a month
