Managing Veterinarian

Dream Big, Thrive Bigger at East River Animal Hospital

Are you ready for a career-defining opportunity? At East River Animal Hospital, we’re not just offering a job—we’re inviting you to join a compassionate, progressive veterinary team in the heart of New Glasgow. Whether you're stepping in as an Associate Veterinarian or taking on leadership as a Managing Veterinarian, this is your chance to thrive—with no on-call responsibilities.

Why East River Stands Out

Our newly renovated facility is more than just a clinic—it's a community hub where high-quality medicine meets genuine connection. With amenities like luxury pet boarding and advanced surgical dental suites, we’ve created an environment where veterinarians can do their best work and feel truly supported.

What We Offer

• $25,000 Signing Bonus – A meaningful welcome to set you up for success

• Competitive Salary & Benefits – Including health and dental coverage that supports your well-being

• Growth Opportunities – Generous CE allowance and personalized development plans

• Potential for Joint Venture Partnership – A path toward clinic ownership, if that’s your goal

• $5,000 Referral Bonus – If you refer someone we hire, you’ll be rewarded

• No On-Call Duties – Protect your work-life balance with predictable hours

Life in New Glasgow

With riverside trails, community festivals, and a welcoming atmosphere, New Glasgow offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and small-town charm. Whether you’re hiking along the river, exploring local shops, or enjoying the vibrant arts scene, life outside the clinic is just as fulfilling.

Who You Are

• A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from an accredited university

• Licensed (or eligible) to practice in Canada

• Committed to gold-standard care, clear communication, and building meaningful relationships with clients and pets alike
