Associate Veterinarian — Independently Owned Practice

Thedford Veterinary Hospital | Thedford, Ontario | Full-time | $125,000–$145,000 annually

A FULL CVO GENERAL LICENCE TO PRACTISE IN ONTARIO IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU START. Veterinarians licensed in another province or country are welcome to apply, as long as your licence transfers directly to a full CVO general licence. We do not offer work permit or visa sponsorship, and we are not considering restricted, educational or supervised licences — you must be legally able to work in Canada and hold a full CVO general licence on your first day.

Thedford Veterinary Hospital is an independently owned small animal practice seeking an experienced Veterinarian to join our team. Some large animal work is available for a Vet who is interested, but it is not required.

Established in 2019, we serve a loyal client base in southwestern Ontario and provide a broad range of medical, dental and surgical services. Our practice is Veterinarian-owned, with decisions made directly by the people working in the clinic. We are looking for someone who can confidently manage their own caseload, communicate clearly with clients and contribute to a practical, collaborative veterinary team.

What we offer

- Base salary of $125,000–$145,000, depending on experience and demonstrated clinical skills
- Paid vacation, continuing education allowance and paid CE days
- Paid professional dues
- An established caseload and opportunities to develop your clinical interests
- A varied surgical caseload,



including orthopaedic and soft-tissue procedures
- Optional large animal work if it interests you
- Direct access to the practice owner and a supportive clinic team
- Separately compensated participation in the clinic's shared after-hours rota, discussed at interview

Who we are looking for

- A full CVO general licence to practise in Ontario by your start date (transferring from another province or country is fine; no restricted licences)
- Legally entitled to work in Canada (we do not sponsor work permits or visas)
- At least two years of small animal clinical practice
- Confidence managing consultations, diagnostics, treatment plans and routine cases independently
- Strong client communication, sound clinical judgement and accurate, timely medical records
- Surgical and dental experience is an asset; large animal experience is a bonus but not required
- References required
