With two DVMs, three RVTs, and a dedicated support team, we foster a collaborative environment where learning, mentorship, and teamwork are part of everyday practice.
As a referral and specialty hospital, you'll work alongside experienced veterinary professionals while gaining exposure to orthopedic surgeries, radioactive iodine therapy, rhinoscopy, otoscopy, laparoscopic procedures, complex dentals, biopsies, and advanced medical cases.
Outside the hospital, our team enjoys giving back through community initiatives, including our annual Santa Paws event and ongoing support of Misfit Manor.
Located in Dartmouth, you'll enjoy the best of Nova Scotia living, with beautiful beaches, lakes, trails, and ocean access just minutes away, along with a vibrant food, arts, and cultural scene.
