We are currently seeking an Internal Medicine Veterinarian to join our growing team! We have availability for full and part-time positions. Our practice is the ONLY privately owned Emergency/Specialty Hospital of this size in the state of Connecticut, with locations in North Haven and Guilford. We are a Level 1 VECCS certified facility and we provide emergency veterinary care 24/7/365.
