We are looking for a part- or full-time veterinarian to join our amazing, close-knit team!

We are currently searching for a veterinarian to focus on the hospice/palliative care and euthanasia part of our practice. As end-of-life care veterinarians, we are privileged to be a part of this important moment in the relationship between a person and their beloved pet… their final goodbye. We place a high value on team members’ quality of life and work/life balance. Full-time is considered 4 days a week (9-hour shifts). Some weekends and evenings are required (the last possible appointment for the day is at 7 pm).

Even though our appointments are understandably emotional, our work is incredibly rewarding… our clients are so appreciative and grateful for our services. We truly work with amazing owners who want the best for their beloved pets.

Responsibilities: 

• To perform euthanasia and hospice care in a respectful, dignified manner
• To provide compassionate client and patient support, and interact with distressed and emotional clients
• Be able to maintain confidence in front of clients at all times, even if something doesn’t go exactly as “planned”
• Meticulously and accurately enter/maintain patient records and medication logs in our practice management system
• Order and maintain medications and inventory sufficient to perform your duties
• Be able to lift 40lbs on your own. Manage larger dogs to place in cool storage (will provide equipment to do this safely)
• Be “on-call” one or two nights a week until 8:30 pm for established hospice patients.

• The veterinarian must have a safe and secure area to house pets in cool storage while awaiting the pickup from the crematory. The area must be easily accessible by the crematory employee. All equipment will be supplied.
• The veterinarian must have their own DEA license to order and receive controlled medications to their home. The medications will be ordered through Compassion 4 Paws and we will provide a safe for the storage of the medications.
