Veterinary Career Center

Lake Area Veterinary Group (LAVG) located in Sturgis, Michigan is seeking a veterinarian to join our growing organization. The practice has been operating in the Sturgis area since the 1940’s with the current owners being part since the late 1980’s. Our growing small & large animal hospital is no longer able to take on additional clients. Based upon our awards, recognition, and most importantly- the feedback from our customers, this growth has been accomplished by providing 1st Class service to our clientele. Our approach to service delivery is to provide the proper level of care to our animal clients…the proper level of understanding & support to the owners…and the proper level of commitment to all as part of our extended family.

LAVG has the necessary equipment to provide surgical, imaging, and laboratory services for our clients. In addition, we have strong working relationships with various specialty clinics to assist us when additional expertise is required. Our team of 3 veterinarians, with 20+ technicians…kennel staff…and administrative support members are desiring the ability to continue our growth and this is where you are needed! Please come join our team so we may continue to offer the level of care our patients and clients deserve.

Sturgis, MI is strategically located on the Michigan/Indiana border. The town itself has approximately 11,000 residents as of the 2010 census. The downtown is active with regularly scheduled events for bikers…antique car collectors…family movie nights, etc. It’s within driving distance of 100’s of lakes that can offer either an active water lifestyle such as skiing or kayaking or simply a small area to enjoy that warm or cold beverage. It sits less than an hour from Notre Dame and approximately 90 minutes from either Michigan State or University of Michigan. If a big city weekend is what you are desiring, both Chicago and Detroit are easy 2-3 hour drives.

Ideally, we desire to hire a full time candidate; however, we understand that many may prefer a part time or more flexible schedule. So please, consider us even if full time employment is not your goal. Candidates must share our passion for offering a high quality of patient care and be able to effectively communicate with both clients and our team. New graduates are welcome to apply. DVM is required. Salary will be commensurate with level of experience.

If being part of a veterinarian-owned practice where you truly have a say in how the program operates, then Lake Area Veterinary Group may be the place for you!
