Seeking Full or Part-time Associate Veterinarian

If you are a veterinarian looking to break away from the traditional model of rushed, over‑booked, one‑size‑fits‑all appointments, apply to All 4 Paws Animal Hospital today, a privately, woman‑owned small animal hospital. I started All 4 Paws because I was tired of having 10 minutes or less to spend in rooms with my clients and patients and wanted a place where I could ensure the comfort of the pet was a priority as well as the staff's quality of life. It is so easy to burnout in this career from the emotional, mental, and physical strain. If you want a consistent day off every week, work only 35‑40 hours a week, have longer appointment times so you have the time to get to know your patients and clients and ensure the best care, get an hour lunch break every day, be valued for your strengths, and work at a place that is happy for feedback to create the best work environment for you, then apply today. At our practice we never overbook and your appointment time for wellness and sick visits is 40 minutes and 20 minutes for rechecks so you have plenty of time to do a thorough job and still have time to finish your record before moving on to the next room. Communication is also key to a well‑run hospital so we have daily team meetings and exceptional client communication. We're a small clinic so we don't board but we still pack a lot into our place to provide the highest quality of care - I have tabletop DR radiography, a portable dental radiography unit, an ultrasound, full in‑house lab equipment, and an ultrasonic scaler and polisher. We use the highest quality vaccines, use Feliway and Adaptil in the rooms, and I am happy to carry whatever products and drugs you prefer if I don't already have them in stock. We have recently gone paperless and transitioned to Shepherd Practice Management software. There are multiple referral and 24/7 ER clinics in the area so no animal stays in hospital alone overnight, they are transferred for overnight care, and if a pet needs a cardiologist, neurologist, behaviorist, internist, etc. there's several within 20 miles. What I am looking for is the right fit - someone who matches our culture and cares about their teammates, patients, and clients. Ideally that person would have at least 1 year’s experience and be full‑time but I'm open to whatever the right person can offer. For full‑time, your schedule would be Mondays 8am‑7pm, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 8:15am‑6pm, and the second Saturday of the month 9am‑1pm with an hour lunch break all weekdays. For part‑time, I need someone who will work at least 2 consistent days a week - ideally Monday and Thursday. Responsibilities See appointments and provide routine small animal medicine care, including surgeries such as wound debridements, gastropexies (with assistance), toe amputations, tail amputations, spays, neuters, basic mass removals, and dentals. Refer for all orthopedic surgeries and more advanced soft‑tissue surgeries (splenectomies, liver biopsies, abdominal exploratories, etc.). Assist with or perform advanced surgeries as needed and show interest in developing surgical skills. Provide care for dogs and cats, and potentially exotics at the clinic’s discretion. Qualifications Licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the state of North Carolina. Minimum of 1 year of veterinary experience. Able to lift and carry fifty pounds of weight. Must undergo a background check, reference check of former employers and co‑workers, and drug test. Benefits $3,000 in cash each year to cover cost of CE, veterinary licenses, liability insurance, uniforms, etc. VIN access. 3 paid days off for CE. 1 week of paid‑time off to start along with paid holidays (including the week we are closed from Christmas to New Year’s). Health and retirement benefits to be offered in the future. Flexible payment structure (salary or Pro‑Sal). If you’re looking for a slower‑paced clinic where you will have the time to foster a relationship with patients and clients and will actually love coming to work every day, then submit your resume and cover letter (telling us why you would be a good fit for our team) via email to me, Dr. Emily Dorsett, at View email address on click.appcast.io. #J-18808-Ljbffr VCA Seaside Animal Hospital
