It's the kind of place where life slows down, people know your name and the cost of living is a fraction of downstate. We love to sail, fish, ride horses, kite board, trail run, mountain bike, cross country ski and snowmobile. There's something here in every season. If you're tired of the traffic, the noise and the pace, this is the exit ramp. Why Us? The Switzer Veterinary Clinic is one of two AAHA-accredited mixed-animal practices in the state of Michigan and was selected as one of America's Best Animal Hospitals 2026 by Newsweek magazine. We're built around the simple idea that veterinary medicine is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of animals, in the lives of the people who love them and in the communities we serve. That mission shapes everything from how we practice medicine to how we treat each other. Our six doctor, seven licensed veterinary nurse team has a wide range of clinical interests and a genuine investment in each other's success. We practice high quality medicine with: Laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures including laparoscopic spays (L.OVE). Orthopedic procedures including fracture repair and TTA's for cruciate tears. Full DR and dental radiography, new small and large animal ultrasound, full in-house IDEXX lab and computerized records with AI transcription. A predominately small animal caseload with one to two half days per week dedicated to horses and farm animals. Thunder Bay Veterinary Urgent Care shares our facility and offers flexible urgent care shifts on an as-wanted basis. What You Can Expect. If you're a new graduate, you'll find a team that takes mentorship seriously and has a genuine commitment to helping you grow into a confident, capable clinician and be supported along the way. If you're an experienced veterinarian, you'll find colleagues who want to learn from you as much as you'll learn from them. Either way, you'll be part of a practice where work matters, the team shows up for each other, and the mission of making difference isn't a slogan. Compensation and Schedule. We offer a competitive compensation package including a generous signing bonus , production incentives, CE allowance, health care, retirement fund and paid professional dues. Each doctor works three to four days weekly with two five-day blocks of time off per month. Part time is also available. Requirements DVM or VMD, licensed or eligible to practice in Michigan. Small animal only or mixed animal practitioners are considered. Strong communication and a collaborative mindset are essential.
