Associate Mixed Animal Veterinarian- Chatham Animal Clinic
Chatham,
VA,
United States
Do you enjoy switching from kittens to cattle to horses—sometimes all before noon? Are you equally comfortable holding a stethoscope, an OB chain, and a lead rope? If you said “yes” (or at least didn’t immediately run away), we’d love to meet you.
About the Role
We’re seeking a Mixed Animal Veterinarian with small animal, food animal, and equine responsibilities. You’ll provide compassionate, high-quality care to pets, livestock, and horses while navigating a schedule that is never boring and occasionally humbling.
What You’ll Do
- Diagnose, treat, and occasionally negotiate with dogs, cats, cattle, horses, and small ruminants
- Perform preventative care, lameness exams, reproductive work, dentistry, and emergency services
- Conduct farm and barn calls where mud, dust, and “creative restraint” are part of the charm
- Educate clients who care deeply about their animals
- Keep thorough medical records—even after a long day that started at dawn
What We’re Looking For
- DVM or equivalent (required by law and strongly preferred by our patients)
- Interest or experience in mixed animal and equine practice
- Comfort working independently in the field and collaboratively with a team
- Ability to adapt when the “quick horse check” becomes a full afternoon event
- Sense of humor, strong work ethic, and appreciation for good boots
What We Offer
- Competitive salary with production opportunities
- Benefits package including CE allowance and paid time off
- Supportive 7 doctor team with mentorship
- Equipment (all the toys) and vehicles to make field work manageable
- A practice where your skills are valued across species
- Brand new 17,000 sq ft hospital and equine barn
Bonus Points If You:
- Can safely dodge a horse’s head while floating teeth
- Know the difference between a “quiet” barn and a too quiet barn
- Own more pairs of boots than shoes
- Can explain to a client why their horse is, in fact, not “just being dramatic”
If you’re looking for a career that blends medicine, problem-solving, and the occasional adrenaline rush, this might be the perfect fit.
Apply today and join a practice where your patients range from lap-sized to half a ton—and all deserve great care.
