A New Role. A New Chapter for KVC.

Kenora Veterinary Clinic | Kenora, ON

Why Join Us?

Located in beautiful Kenora, Ontario, Kenora Veterinary Clinic (KVC) is a community-focused small-animal practice providing compassionate, high-quality care to the dogs and cats of Northwestern Ontario.

The clinic offers a broad range of services including medicine, surgery, dentistry, ultrasound, emergency and critical care, acupuncture, and laser therapy, supported by an experienced team with more than 70 years of combined experience.

This is a brand-new role created as KVC expands its team and services. In January 2027, KVC will open the largest and newest veterinary clinic in the region, alongside its existing general practice. The new facility will include an animal rehabilitation centre, underwater treadmill, and dedicated rehabilitation services.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established practice while being part of the growth and development of a brand-new facility and expanded service offering in Kenora.

KVC is deeply connected to the community, including through The Leo Project, which helps provide subsidized veterinary care to pets and families who need additional support.
