Veterinarian (DVM)

About the Role

Blue Sky Animal Hospital is looking for an experienced Veterinarian to join their dedicated team in North Bay. This is a full-time opportunity (4–5 days per week), offering the flexibility to tailor your schedule around your life outside the clinic. You'll work alongside 3 RVTs and support staff in delivering high-quality, compassionate small animal medicine to a community that's thrived on the practice's care for over two decades.

North Bay sits on the shores of Lake Nipissing—the Gateway to the North—where small-town warmth blends seamlessly with genuine adventure. Picture your weekends: hiking and skiing in nearby wilderness, snowmobiling across pristine trails, or simply relaxing by the lake. The city pulses with cultural energy too: acclaimed restaurants, live music and food festivals, the Capitol Centre performing arts, and an OHL team that brings the community together. You're also just a few hours from the GTA when you want access to a larger urban centre. This role offers you the chance to practise excellent medicine while actually enjoying your life.

The hospital values high-quality medicine, mutual respect, and genuine collaboration. You'll be joining a fun-loving, compassionate team that's genuinely excited about growing together—not just surviving shift-to-shift.
