We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Veterinarian to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong passion for animal care and welfare, providing high-quality medical treatment to a variety of animals. As a Veterinarian, you will be responsible for diagnosing and treating illnesses, performing surgeries, and ensuring the overall health of pets in our care. You will work closely with pet owners to educate them on proper animal care and preventive health measures.

The previous description was AI generated however accurate. I want our candidate to know that there is so much more to our practice than cut and paste veterinary medicine. I am new to practice owning but I've been in practice for 12 years and my philosophy for this particular career choice and position is that we are an extension of family and should be treated with kindness and understanding. We, as veterinary professionals, pour our heart and souls into the practice of medicine because of our devotion to animals but often times do not recuperate the losses that entails. I want to change that. I want us to feel gratified and satisfied coming to work and leaving for the day. I want to be the practice with which employees want to spend their lives, and thus I encourage openness and honestly and it will be reciprocated.

We started as a mobile practice in 2022 but found that we needed to expand for our clientele. We will be operating the truck for mostly mobile appointments and the brick and mortar for overflow, same day appointments, surgery. This opportunity extends to a full time position at our brick and mortar with the possibility of mobile if desired. Our goal is to provide a excellent medical care while extending a family practice feel as I believe that most pet owners feel like their pet is their family member and they should be treated with a gentle touch.

• Conduct thorough examinations of animals to assess their health status.

• Provide guidance to pet owners on nutrition, behavior, and preventive care.
