South Shores Pet Clinic is looking for an early-career or experienced veterinarian excited to join a practice that performs a wide range of surgeries, including procedures many general practices don't offer. Ideally, we'd love someone with an aptitude for surgery or a desire to learn and grow!
The hospital is a staple in the community, serving generations of pets and earning a great reputation for personalized service and care.

The medical director and doctor team are gifted in medicine, surgery, and dentistry. They're collaborative and have a lot of fun (both are also really funny!).
The hospital manager is an ace in the hole! She's hands-on, jumps in wherever needed, and helps the team deliver excellent client service and quality medical care. She takes an individualized approach to supporting her team and loves celebrating them. She's even created a fun putting-green-themed ice cream buffet for the team and is always thinking of fun ways to make people feel happy to be at work.
