In our *NEW,* large, state-of-the-art clinic (anticipated completion November 2023!), we heal pets and educate their families on maximizing the wellbeing of their furry, feathered, or scaled members.

You’ll practice your passion in abundant and spacious consultation/exam rooms, a fully equipped surgical suite, and with the crucial support you need to provide the highest level of patient care. 

We feature:

• IDEXX in-house lab

YOU may be a great fit at Eagle River Animal Hospital if: 

• You love immersing yourself in all 4 seasons of nature (we’re talking chickadees eating from your hand, lake and river adventures, skiing and snowmobiling, hiking, biking, wildlife, and more.)
• Small towns hold a special place in your heart, and you can’t wait to slot into a community that truly values who you are and what you do.
• Building RELATIONSHIPS with your patients and their families is your “thing.”
• You enjoy recognition and support (like cupcakes and roses!) on your birthday and work anniversaries–yep we do that here.
• Mentoring and coaching light you up–you can’t wait for the chance to grow your skills under our masterful leader and 30+ year Veterinarian and Owner, Dr. Katie Hom. 
• Sales and production don’t freak you out—and you enjoy the commission checks as they roll in.
• You’re willing to move IN or NEAR the Eagle River, WI community.
• 4-Day work weeks and Saturday rotations every 3 weeks are perfectly reasonable in your mind.
• You love humor, camaraderie, and appreciating your support team (reception, vet techs, and other behind-the-scene team members.)

This job is NOT for you if:

• A 2-year minimum contract won’t work in your life
• Winter and you don’t get along
• You can’t stand caring, nurturing, and collaborative environments

Compensation and benefits:
