Albany County Veterinary Hospital is looking for a full-time Companion Animal Veterinarian. We are a 3-doctor clinic in the town of Guilderland, near SUNY Albany, Stuyvesant Plaza, and Crossgates Mall. Albany is an hour and a half South of the Adirondack Mountain Park, 2 hours and 45 minutes North of New York City by train, bus or car, and about an hour West of New York’s borders with Vermont and Massachusetts.

     The office is open from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 8 to 12 PM on Saturdays. We are also covered by two excellent, full-service, 24-7 emergency clinics. Associates work alternating Saturday mornings, but always have a weekday off, so the work week alternates between four and four-and-a-half days.

We are AAHA certified and perform ultrasound, dental and conventional digital radiography, Companion laser therapy, and we have an IDEXX in-house laboratory.

     We are a tight, cohesive team that values good quality medical and surgical care, work-life balance, and good team morale. Emphasis is placed on communication and the value of input from all team members. We are small enough that no one gets lost in the shuffle, and yet we still provide a complete range of medical and surgical options for our clients and patients. Our clientele includes many loyal long-term companion animal owners from a suburban setting.

   We will provide a competitive salary commensurate with experience, health care enrollment through one of the major local carriers, disability insurance, paid vacation, major holidays and continuing education. All employees get pet care at hospital cost. We also will pay fees for licenses and dues including AVMA PLIT coverage, VIN membership and a uniform allowance. Our SIMPLE retirement plan includes an employer matching contribution, up to 3%. Must have a New York State License.
