Across Canada, VetStrategy is a network of veterinary practices united by a shared purpose: healthy animals, happy owners.
We bring this to life through three promises:
Guided by our values—We Care, We Dare, We Share—we prioritize well-being, embrace challenges, and foster collaboration. Rooted in passion and compassion, we support our people, patients, their families, and our communities. Humble and approachable, we achieve more together.
Our commitment to you:
At Clayton Park Veterinary Hospital, we believe veterinary medicine is at its best when it combines great patient care with a supportive, collaborative team culture. We're looking for a confident and experienced Veterinarian who is ready to step into a well-established role, build lasting client relationships, and make an immediate impact within a welcoming practice that feels like home.
Located in the heart of Halifax, Nova Scotia, our hospital has earned the trust of generations of pet owners through compassionate care, strong community connections, and a personalized approach where clients and patients are known by name.
What's in it for You?
As part of our network, you will receive competitive compensation, bonus potential, generous CE allowance, VIN membership, licensing dues paid, paid vacation, generous personal pet policy, great health benefits and access to our extensive network of veterinary professionals!
A Community of Excellence Awaits You
Clayton Park Veterinary Hospital is a small, established general practice with a reputation for delivering personalized care and building meaningful relationships with clients. With two veterinarians, a dedicated RVT, veterinary assistants, and client care professionals, our team takes pride in supporting one another and stepping in wherever needed.
What truly makes us special is our culture.
Our team is cross-trained, highly collaborative, and genuinely enjoys working together. Monthly lunch-and-learns, clinic book clubs, team outings, and strong personal connections have created an environment where people feel valued and supported. Many team members have worked together for years, contributing to our exceptional retention and positive workplace atmosphere.
The hospital itself has a warm, welcoming feel that clients often describe as comfortable and familiar. From our popular "Patients of the Day" chalkboard to the way we greet families and pets by name, our practice is deeply rooted in the community we serve.
We're also proud supporters of local education programs, partnering with area high schools to provide cooperative learning opportunities for students interested in veterinary medicine.
And when the workday is done, Halifax offers an incredible lifestyle. Spend your morning walking along the harbour, your afternoon exploring scenic trails, and your evening enjoying fresh seafood, live music, festivals, galleries, and waterfront sunsets.

Being part of VetStrategy is about being part of something bigger – an ever-growing community, where we connect person-to-person and skill-to-need, united by a common purpose of healthy animals, happy owners. From our humble beginning in 2006 to the present day, we continue to make a difference in the lives of people who have dedicated themselves to this industry.
When VetStrategy co-founders Orin Litman and his wife, Dr. Michelle Cutler, decided to acquire McLean Animal Hospital in 2006, they focused on three promises – our Customer Promise of world-class veterinary care, delivered locally; our People Promise, to be a great place to work; and our Sustainability Promise to be a force for good for patients, people and our plant.
Keeping our three promises led VetStrategy to become the leading veterinary network in Canada, with veterinary practices, 24-hour emergency care, and specialty hospitals coast-to-coast. We have developed and refined a model for supporting our practices across the country.
What we do:
We care for those dedicated to caring for animals by creating a workplace where we focus on innovation, engagement, and teamwork.
We know the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into building each practice, and we don’t want to touch that – we truly embrace the uniqueness of each clinic. Our heritage first approach means we won’t change a clinic’s name, culture or heritage.
We understand the challenges our veterinary teams face and are committed to doing what’s right – for them, their clients, and their patients.
We care about the future of veterinary medicine. Everything we do comes back to ensuring that veterinarians have the time, support, and infrastructure to focus on responsible medicine and quality care.
We believe in empowering our support office and clinic staff and providing them opportunities to develop their skills and grow in their careers.
