Rose Veterinary Hospital is looking to add another full time associate in a busy, growing, privately owned mixed animal practice.  An associate that is only interested in small animals would also be welcomed. Applicant should be passionate about partnering with clients to provide the best possible care for their animals while treating both animals and owners with the compassion and respect they deserve. We are hoping to find a veterinarian who is interested in staying for the long term. If an associate is a good fit for the practice, future partnership with profit sharing is available. The associate will be scheduled to work 4 days a week and will be included in a rotating on call schedule for after hours emergencies. We split after hours emergency call with another local veterinary clinic based on how many DVM's are working at both locations.   We refer small animal emergencies to an emergency hospital between 10pm and 6am, so we only cover large animal emergencies in that time frame.  Technicians or assistants are on call to help with emergencies and to perform after hours care of hospitalized patients when appropriate. A fully equipped truck w/ portavet box is provided for ranch/house calls. Applicants can expect to be working with multiple species - dogs, cats, horses, cattle, camelids, and small ruminants are most common but again an associate that is only interested in small animals would be welcomed.  We also occasionally see ferrets, rabbits, and pocket pets. New graduates are welcome to apply. Rose Veterinary Hospital would support an associate that was interested in additional species including pet birds or poultry and reptiles. We are open to adding services that a new associate would be interested in, as we strive to offer the highest quality medicine possible to our community.

We strive to provide mentorship to newer graduates.  Our goal is to allow for an appropriate work life balance while still providing emergency service to our dedicated clients and especially for those large animal clients that can't go to an emergency clinic. 

Please email a letter introducing yourself and why you would be a good fit for Rose Veterinary Hospital, along with your resume and references, to: nichole.rvh@gmail.com.
