Veterinarian – Cochrane Animal Clinic
Cochrane Animal Clinic is seeking a compassionate and motivated Mixed or Small Animal Associate Veterinarian to join our collaborative and growing team in Cochrane, Alberta. This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established practice with a supportive culture, experienced mentorship, strong RVT support, and a diverse caseload that allows veterinarians to continue developing their skills and clinical interests.

We see a wide variety of cases including cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, and farm animals, providing an exciting and rewarding caseload.
