About the Role

Imagine practicing high-quality small animal medicine in one of Canada's most sought-after mountain towns. Mountain Animal Hospital & Mobile Veterinary Care is seeking a dedicated DVM who's ready to blend professional growth with an unbeatable lifestyle.

Canmore itself is the lifestyle anchor here. Year-round access to hiking, skiing, mountain biking, and stunning Rocky Mountain scenery means your career and personal passions aren't competing — they're complementary. This is small animal medicine in a place most people only visit on vacation.
