About Our Hospital
Companions Animal Hospital is eagerly seeking a team-oriented, full-time DVM to join our growing canine, feline and exotics companion animal practice. We have a longtime tradition of providing high-quality veterinary care through outstanding client service, understanding, compassion and communication. As an AAHA accredited, Cat-Friendly and Low-Stress Certified hospital, we have proudly served pets and their people in the St. Cloud community for almost 25 years.
We have a deep desire to find associate DVMs who are committed to a team-oriented approach, seeing and appreciating the genuine value of all team members who work together for the good of our patients, clients and each other. We recognize and support every co-worker’s contributions. Treating each other with gratitude and respect can make a tremendous difference in working through day-to-day challenges and stresses we all face given the demands and pace of veterinary medicine.
Our Culture and Team
Our core values—Respect, Wow Service, Learning, Fun, Do the Right Thing—guide everything we do. We’re close-knit and somewhat informal, while still expecting professionalism and respect from all. Reliability and personal integrity are important and we pride ourselves on providing mentorship and a collaborative workplace, holding each other accountable in a supportive way. We value relationships internally and externally, and our client education and follow-up care intentionally offers ample opportunity for discussion and understanding. It’s one of the things our clients say they love about us! In addition to taking care of pets, we take care of each other. Personal health, well-being and work-life balance are important, and every individual matters. At the end of the day, we feel great about the care we provide, the relationships we form and our standards for doing things. We’re ready to welcome in someone who wants to feel that way too!
Our current team includes 2 DVMs, 3 receptionists, 4 veterinary technicians, 5 assistants, 1 animal caretaker, 1 inventory manager, 1 groomer and a hospital administrator. Our regular hours of operation are 7:00 am-6:00 pm Monday-Friday. We are open every other Saturday through May, when we will close weekends so that our team may enjoy more of a reprieve.
Your Opportunity to Learn
Our hospital is well-equipped and includes digital radiology, digital dental radiology, CR radiology, ultrasound, and therapeutic and CO2 lasers. We enjoy working with board-certified specialists who help make the highest level of care and expertise readily available to our clients and patients. Our techs are well-trained and able to support our doctors with procedures such as IVCs and NG tubes. If there is an area of interest you would like to grow in, we would love to talk more about how we can make that happen!
