About this role

As an Associate Veterinarian, you will join a trusted small animal team in a role that offers clinical variety, strong client relationships, and the support of experienced RVTs and VAs who are actively involved in patient care.

Your caseload will include preventive, medical, surgical, and dental care, with regular opportunities to support clients through dentistry and nutrition counselling. You will have the space to build trust, explain care clearly, and provide medicine that feels thorough, practical, and genuinely valued by the people who choose our hospital.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being part of a team that communicates well, takes pride in the client experience, and wants to keep growing in a setting where support is close at hand. You will also have the opportunity to learn from experienced hospital team members and connect with the wider knowledge and support available through VetStrategy’s network of more than 1,500 DVMs.

About you

You will thrive here if you bring a thoughtful, client-focused approach to veterinary care and enjoy being part of a team that values communication, respect, and genuine collaboration.

We would love to hear from you if you have:

• A genuine passion for veterinary medicine and the work you do each day
• A positive, engaged, and team-oriented approach
• A strong desire to educate clients and build lasting relationships
• Excellent communication skills with clients and colleagues
• A compassionate, respectful, and collaborative clinical style
• A veterinary degree from an accredited university
• A valid veterinary license to work as a veterinarian in Canada

Our location

Live and work close to downtown Ottawa, in a city known for its quality of life, history, culture, green space, and community feel. As Canada’s capital, Ottawa offers easy access to Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, museums, festivals, neighbourhood dining, local trails, and the kind of everyday convenience that makes life outside the hospital easier to enjoy.

We are hiring Veterinarians across two state of the art Ottawa practices – Centretown Animal Hospital and Greenboro West Animal Hospital.

For veterinary professionals who want meaningful clinical work without giving up lifestyle, Ottawa offers a balanced setting: urban enough to feel connected, relaxed enough to feel liveable, and surrounded by neighbourhoods with real character.

Our offer

We offer a strong, well-supported employment package, including:

• Competitive compensation from $175,000 to $240,000 (pro rata for part-time), plus bonus potential
• Generous CE allowance
• Hands-on learning from experienced hospital staff
• Access to VetStrategy’s network of more than 1,500 DVMs
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Professional liability coverage
• Association dues and VIN membership
• Outstanding medical and pet supply discounts
• A workplace built on fairness, respect, and collaboration
• Opportunity for personal, professional, and financial growth

If you are looking for a role where your medicine, communication, and client relationships can all grow in a supportive hospital setting, we would love to hear from you.
