General Practice | Surgical Strength Required

If you're a veterinarian who enjoys practicing solid, hands-on medicine and feels confident in the surgery suite, this could be a great next step.

We're partnering with a well-established small animal practice in Airdrie
, just north of Calgary, that is looking to add a skilled and collaborative DVM to its team. This clinic is deeply rooted in the community and known for its long-standing client relationships, supportive culture, and commitment to quality care.

This is a busy, well-run general practice with a loyal client base and a team that truly enjoys working together. The atmosphere is friendly and professional, with a strong emphasis on teamwork, communication, and doing right by both patients and clients.

The clinic is well equipped and designed to support efficient, high-quality medicine, allowing veterinarians to practice confidently and independently while still having support when needed.

This opportunity is best suited to a veterinarian with 2-5 years of clinical experience who is comfortable and confident performing surgery. You will be expected to handle routine and intermediate soft-tissue procedures independently and contribute meaningfully to the practice’s surgical caseload.
