About The Position

Join a compassionate, close-knit team that’s been serving the Erie community for over 70 years! At Erie Animal Hospital, we’re proud to be a trusted name in companion animal care since the 1950s. Our recently renovated hospital offers a welcoming, modern environment with six spacious exam rooms — including a cat-only room and separate feline lobby — ensuring comfort for both pets and their people. We provide high-quality small animal medicine and surgery, including daily dentals and soft-tissue procedures. Our doctors perform abdominal ultrasounds, with one offering cardiology scans as well. We utilize modern equipment such as digital full-body and dental radiography, IDEXX in-house and reference labs, digital ultrasound, Cornerstone practice management software, and full anesthesia monitoring systems. Erie Animal Hospital isn’t just a workplace—it’s a team that truly cares. We believe in balancing excellent medical care with a people-first culture where your well-being and professional satisfaction come first. You’ll have the clientele base to stay busy (enough for five DVMs!) while maintaining strong compliance and client relationships. We foster an atmosphere of respect, collaboration, and humor — where your voice matters, your skills are appreciated, and your growth is supported.
