Western Trails Veterinary Hospital

Western Trails Veterinary Hospital is a mixed animal, general practice in Edgewood, NM! We are looking to bring another veterinarian to our current three-doctor team. We aid our local community by treating animals of all kinds, mainly dogs and cats with the addition of horses and livestock. Our doctors are supported by a confident support team with two full-time RVTs and many assistants. Techs and assistants are responsible for taking histories, TPRs, drawing blood/running lab work, catheter placement, radiographs, and more. This ensures that our doctors are never too overwhelmed and always have someone to lean on for assistance. We have a diverse and expansive range of clients that we work with to always provide the golden standard of treatment.

We invite DVMs of all experience levels! Two of our current doctors started with Western Trails as new graduates and are happy to help any other new veterinarians learn and grow. We have a need for any DVMs willing to see exotics or looking to grow our equine clientele as well. Our diverse range of offered services that include surgery, dentistry, radiology, ultrasonography, and more will give any doctor the ability to practice exciting and distinctive medicine!
