  • Helping to bring the new facility to life and make it a true home for staff and clients alike


What We’re Looking For

  • DVM degree (or equivalent) with an active veterinary license

  • Enthusiasm for practicing progressive, modern veterinary medicine

  • A collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care

  • A positive outlook and sense of humour — because we believe a great culture makes great medicine possible

  • Comprehensive paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and CE days

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (multiple options available)
