Associate Veterinarian

About the Role

Sunset Strip Veterinary Clinic is looking for a compassionate veterinarian ready to work in a genuinely collaborative, team-focused environment that prioritizes your well-being. This isn't a high-pressure hustle — it's a chance to deliver excellent care while maintaining the work-life balance you deserve.

You'll be joining a practice in Owen Sound, perched on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay. The city offers an ideal blend of affordability, natural tranquility, and real community connection. Year-round outdoor activities abound — think stunning landscapes, the Niagara Escarpment, and beaches — all without the chaos of urban life. Owen Sound also has a growing arts scene and sits close enough to Toronto for when you want access to major urban amenities.

The clinic operates a full-service model: wellness and preventative care, diagnostics, surgery, and dental work. Since 1972, the team has built a solid reputation for compassionate, high-quality care in the Owen Sound community.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive veterinary care across wellness, preventative medicine, diagnostics, surgery, and dental procedures
• Work collaboratively with a dedicated team of animal professionals
• Build lasting relationships with pet owners and their families
• Maintain the clinic's commitment to high-quality, compassionate animal care

Requirements

• DVM degree (or equivalent) from an accredited university
• Fully licensed (or eligible to become licensed) to practice veterinary medicine in Ontario
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Genuine passion for providing exceptional care to pets and their families

Benefits

• Competitive salary: $110,000–$130,000 based on experience, plus potential monthly production bonus
• Generous vacation allowance
• Continuing education allowance and paid CE days
• Employee pet discounts
• RRSP matching options
