Live and work where others only visit for vacation!

North Bay Animal Hospital is excited to add another veterinarian to our team as we prepare to move into a brand new, state-of-the-art facility!

A cast of 5 knowledgeable technicians and 3 outstanding customer service providers support our current medical team of 2.5 caring doctors. We seek and value every team member's thoughts and suggestions, eagerly pursuing well-considered changes that will continuously improve patient outcomes.

We welcome doctors of all experience levels! Our collaborative approach to vet med is easily adjusted to support the needs of both recent grads and more seasoned doctors. We have the best DVM mentors. Our managing DVM is itching to mentor a veterinarian with surgical aspirations. Our current caseload consists of routine spays, neuters, and dentals to cystotomies and enucleations. Amputations, FHO’s, caesarian section, and exploratory procedures are also in his repertoire on a case-by-case basis.

A true work-life balance for all team members is a key emphasis in our approach to team management, after all, we can’t fill our patients’ cups when our own cups are empty. To help you fill your cup, we have no emergency/on-call responsibilities, and we are closed on weekends and major holidays!
