Associate Veterinarian

About the Role

City Centre Animal Hospital, located just minutes north of Calgary in Airdrie, is building a thriving multi-doctor practice that trusts you to leave work at work. You'll see the variety and pace of a busy general practice — urgent care, routine appointments, surgery, dentistry — but here's the difference: no after-hours calls, no on-call rotations. Your shift ends, and your evening is yours.

This role is flexible around your strengths. Want a balanced mix of appointments, surgery, and dentistry? You've got it. Prefer to focus on appointments? That works too. You'll be supported by a skilled team of veterinarians, RVTs, assistants, and client care professionals who make high-quality medicine the norm, not the exception. The practice operates on a 4-on, 3-off schedule with a shared weekend rotation — predictable time off that you can actually plan around.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide high-quality veterinary care across general practice (appointments, surgery, dentistry, urgent care)
• Tailor your caseload to your interests and strengths
• Collaborate with veterinarians, RVTs, and support staff to deliver excellent patient care
• Work within a no-after-hours model

Requirements

• DVM or equivalent veterinary qualification
• Experience as an associate veterinarian or equivalent
• Valid Alberta veterinary licence (or eligibility to obtain)

Benefits

• Competitive salary with significant bonus earning potential
• CE (continuing education) allowance
• Paid licensing fees
• RRSP contributions
• Health benefits
• PTO (paid time off)
• Employee discounts
