Associate Veterinarian – Privately Owned Small Animal Clinic
Tillsonburg, Ontario | 4 Day Week | No On Call | Ownership Potential

A well established, privately owned small animal clinic in Tillsonburg is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to their team. If you are looking for a genuinely supportive environment where your clinical input is valued and your work life balance is respected, this could be a great fit.

This is a clinic that prioritises high quality medicine, strong client relationships and a collaborative team culture. Veterinarians here are trusted to manage and work up their cases properly, while also having the support of an experienced team around them.

The Clinic

This modern companion animal practice has built a strong reputation within the community for providing compassionate and thorough veterinary care. The team is experienced, approachable and genuinely enjoys working together, creating a positive working environment day to day.

The practice is well equipped and continually invests in modern technology to help make the clinical day run smoothly. Systems such as CoVet AI help streamline workflows and free up more time for patient care and meaningful client communication.

Veterinarians are supported by a strong team of technicians and support staff, allowing you to focus on delivering the best possible clinical care while still maintaining a balanced workload.

The caseload is varied and rewarding, covering preventative medicine, medical workups, dentistry, surgery and long term patient management. This is a clinic where cases are properly worked up and continuity of care is encouraged.

Veterinarians are supported in developing their own clinical interests and there is genuine openness to expanding services depending on individual strengths and passions.

Work Life Balance

The clinic operates on a four day work week with no on call and no after hours responsibilities. The leadership team strongly believes that veterinarians perform at their best when they have the time and energy to enjoy life outside of work.

What’s On Offer

The practice offers competitive compensation, paid licensing and professional memberships, a generous continuing education allowance with paid CE days, employee wellness benefits and staff discounts on veterinary care. Mentorship is available for newer graduates and for those looking to progress further in their careers there is the opportunity for future ownership or buy in within the clinic.

Why Live in Tillsonburg
