Are you a Registered Veterinary Technician? Join our independently owned clinic in Toronto A little

about us
We're a privately owned veterinary clinic in Toronto, opened in January 2025 by two veterinarians who wanted to build something a little different. We believe in practicing high-quality medicine while recognizing that every patient, family, and situation are unique. Our approach is rooted in individualized care, honest conversations, fear-free handling of patients, and helping clients make informed decisions that make sense for them and their pets. We want to work with our clients to find the best path forward, without pressure or unnecessary upselling. Being independently owned means we have the freedom to practice medicine in a way that reflects our values, build meaningful relationships with our clients, and create the kind of workplace we genuinely want to be part of. We're a small, close-knit team that gets along well, supports one another, and believes that valuable vibes make all the difference. Our community is incredibly supportive, and we're proud of the relationships we're building. Now we're looking for another RVT who shares our approach and wants to grow with us Who we're looking for We're looking for a Registered Veterinary Technician who takes pride in their work, is a genuine team player, and shares our commitment to high-quality, evidence-based medicine.
