Our five doctor, AAHA-accredited, companion animal practice is looking to add a sixth associate to our team! Our new Veterinarian will have the opportunity to help us achieve our goal of ‘helping our clients’ pet ownership more enjoyable through better health and understanding.’ We achieve this by offering excellent care and client services in each of our four locations.

Our main hospital is located in Pembroke, Ontario. Pembroke is home to roughly 14,000 citizens and is the largest commercial centre between North Bay and Ottawa. We’ve got a small town feel with a health economy supported by industry, trade goods and a strong relationship with the United States. In fact, New York City with all of its cultural and big city amenities is close enough for a weekend get away! Pembroke is also a gateway to natural adventures, especially water sports, due to its location on the Petawawa and Ottawa Rivers.

In addition to our five doctors, our Pembroke location has:
