This position provides considerably more clinical variety than a traditional companion animal role. The hospital cares for dogs and cats alongside large animals, equine patients, pocket pets and exotics, giving veterinarians the opportunity to build a caseload around their own interests.

Whether you're passionate about small animal medicine and surgery or would like to develop experience across mixed animal practice, this is an excellent environment in which to continue building your veterinary career.

About the Practice

In-house laboratory capabilities allow doctors to obtain diagnostic results quickly, while radiography and additional diagnostic resources support efficient medical workups.

Mixed & Large Animal Opportunities

•Large animal wellness and preventative care
•Equine medicine
•Cattle medicine
•Farm calls
•Herd health programs
•Large animal obstetrics
