Northwood Animal Hospital/PETS Emergency

We are looking for an energetic veterinarian who strives to practice high quality small animal and exotic animal medicine and surgery at a busy AAHA certified hospital. Our focus is to provide high quality, compassionate veterinary care for our patients, while providing client education and forming lasting relationships with our clients and their pets.

Start your veterinary career off in a place that you will feel supported as you learn to be the best vet you can be. We are looking for experienced vets or new graduates with interest in eventually moving into our overnight ER positions. New graduates would start out during days, helping manage hospitalized patients, seeing appointments, performing routine surgeries, and taking on urgent care/daytime emergencies to ensure they have the experiences and mentoring needed to be comfortable managing cases and performing surgeries independently. We feel it is important to work with a variety of different doctors (we are currently a 6 doctor hospital) to observe how they approach different cases. We have a culture of learning and all our vets strive to master new techniques and embrace cutting edge medicine. Our goal is to support our experienced vets and / or grow our new graduates to the point that they are comfortable seeing a variety of species with the full gamut of medical and surgical needs, as would be necessary for an eventual move to emergency medicine. We also provide veterinary services to a local wildlife rehabilitation center and maintain our own 501c3 rescue that enables us to offer patient's (with good to fair prognosis's) treatment and rehab services, despite the ability or willingness of owners to meet the financial estimates provided. Veterinarians are given autonomy to offer this resolution as they deem necessary.

For new graduates, during the training period, enjoy standard percentage pro-sal pay for an associate vet with a 39-40 hour work week, and once you are comfortable moving to the FT overnight ER position (and we are also comfortable with the move), your base salary / percentage on Prosal will change to reflect expected rates for a FT Emergency vet.
