Snapshot of Our Practice:

- Our motto is Compassion. Care. Commitment - applicable to both our client/pet
community and within our own team
- Prioritization of the balance between providing
exemplary veterinary care to our community while safeguarding our own mental

Our practice is a
well-established and dynamic small animal hospital located between the
Baltimore and Annapolis metropolitan areas. We are seeking a proficient
veterinarian interested in practicing quality medicine among a team of
friendly, professional, and fun-loving staff At Huffard Animal Hospital, we
pride ourselves on being a diverse mixture of respected and reputable
doctors/staff as well as fresh team members enthusiastically at the start of
their careers. In addition to providing a high standard of care, it is
important to our team that prospective candidates show willingness to laugh at
the sillies, share comfort during the tough times, and help the team continue
to advance our skills, knowledge, and capabilities.

About the Opportunity:

- Combination of general practice caseload
(scheduled wellness visits, sick/injured appointments, and surgeries/dentals)
as well as a limited quota of same-day-sick visits shared daily among the
doctoral team
- “Flex Hour” daily on weekdays as a buffer that
is free from scheduled appointments – this helps ensure lunch is eaten, the
workload remains contained within reasonable working hours, and that nursing
mothers can be confident they will have time to tend to their needs
- Access to several local emergency
hospitals/specialty practices for case transfer, discussion, and guidance
- Full-time preferred, part-time considered
