Veterinarian – General Practice

Overview

Veterinarian – Flexible Split Position Between Two Supportive Clinics

We’re seeking a compassionate, motivated Veterinarian to join two well-established, community-focused animal hospitals in rural Louisiana. This flexible split position allows you to work across two clinics, with an estimated 2 days per week at each location—though we’re also open to 3 days per week if that’s a better fit for your lifestyle.

Whether you’re a new graduate looking for mentorship or an experienced veterinarian seeking balance and variety, we’re happy to tailor this role to the right candidate. In a rural setting, we value adaptability, teamwork, and a genuine love for animals over rigid checklists.
