We currently have 3 full-time and 1 part-time DVMs in a 4 exam room space. Currently, a feline and canine practice only, but a long term goal would be to add a small percentage of exotics in the future, when we add additional exam rooms. You would be well equipped with 2-3 support staff per DVM.

What We're Looking For

• DVM or VMD degree with valid Wisconsin license (or ability to obtain)
• New grads welcome—mentorship available—or several years of experience in companion animal practice
• Strong communication skills and a passion for building pet‑owner relationships
• Preferable interest in canine & feline dental work, routine wellness care, and sick or injured dogs and cats

What You'll Gain

• Full‑time schedule with the rhythm of work‑life balance; typical hours Monday–Friday, with rotating half-day Saturdays (4 day work week with 1-2 half-day Saturdays a month) 
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
• Health & disability insurance, retirement plan with match, employee pet care discounts, and generous paid time off Northside Animal Hospital
