The employment at LakeCross Veterinary holds high expectations of work ethic and dedication to caring for animals and supporting other staff and veterinarians. We practice modern gold-standard medicine and we expect our job candidates to believe in what we do and offer. We are a small hospital of 3 doctors and around 13 other support staff members between reception and the treatment area. You will be supported by a hospital manager, assistant supervisor and medical director.
Some of the job expectations/responsibilities are:
*Feeding/watering
*Walking dogs
*Cleaning litter pans/cages
*Restraining
*Drawing blood/placing catheters
*Putting in medical charges into our PMS
*Running lab work
*Collecting urine and fecal samples
*Nail Trims/Anal Gland Expressions
*Occasionally answering phone calls or checking clients in if needed
*Knowing how to differentiate vaccinations and heartworm/flea/tick preventative
*Monitoring or running surgical procedures is a huge plus and will reflect pay greatly*
Daily doctor/support staff assignments will be made by the hospital manager or assistant supervisor, but we try to keep them as consistent as possible, week by week. Your personal schedule will also be pretty consistent, but you must be able to work opening/closing shifts and work some Saturdays (every other or every third). If you joined our hyperthyroid treatment program, you would be required to work 1 Sunday every 4-5 weeks to support the thyroid cats on their extended stays. Management works hard to allow each staff member to have an early day or half day throughout the week, if we are able.
**Reliable transportation, punctuality, and attendance are a MUST** If accepted for this position, please allow yourself a grace period of time to commute to work - traffic in the area can be very congested.
Normal Clinic Hours are:
Mon-Friday 7:30am-6:00pm
Saturdays 8:00am-12:00 pm
**Closed all major holidays; New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve(close a few hours early) & Christmas Day**
Here at LakeCross, we offer a wide variety of learning opportunities that other clinics may not be able to offer. In addition to general practice appointments and routine surgery, we offer feline hyperthyroid treatment using I-131 radioactive iodine. We also offer acupuncture and chinese medicine. It is very rewarding to be apart of a clinic that differs from others where you can expand your knowledge in veterinary medicine. We have opportunities to grow in specialty and emergency medicine if you wish, or even administration. We offer a competitive program that helps pay for schooling to become a registered veterinary technician if you desired to do that. Some of the challenges in this position are mental, emotional and physical, but at the end of the day caring for animals and working with a strong group of people is rewarding and a huge part of who we are. We offer a safe and supportive place to work, we just expect hard work and dedication to be given in return.
Benefits that LakeCross offers:
Medical
Dental
Vision
401k
Life Insurance Policies
Short Term/Long Term Disability Options
LakeCross also offers great employee/pet benefits where you can enjoy up to 50% off of prescription medications, food, and services with free exams and vaccines for up to 2 pets per year!
Thank you for your interest in our job posting; we look forward to meeting you in hopes to add you to our crew here at LakeCross Veterinary!

We are feline only!
Interested in a short work day and week? How about no emergency calls, no boarding, and minimal to no hospitalization?
We practice ethical medicine (we are a no declaw practice) while focusing on OUR quality of life as well as our patients'. We work hard but smart so that we allow for excellent patient care and client education while preserving our personal time.
We specialize in complex disease management, heavy in internal medical and behavioral problems. Dr Globerman, who graduated from the University of Florida in 1999, has been practicing feline medicine for over 20 years along with certified cat behavior consultant Ingrid Johnson. Together, they micromanage each cat's quality of life from every aspect and help their owners understand what their cat needs and why.
Education and hands on instruction are the hallmark of our success. Our appointments for new clients and patients are one and a half hours long since there is so much to learn about each patient and then teach each owner about what their cat needs to thrive. Regular appointments are one hour and tech appointments are 30 minutes. We never double book.
Clients come to us because they want to treat; they want to do something for their cat(s). Too many vets do not give owners the knowledge or options of what to do with a diagnosis, if they even obtain one.
We value continuing education for ourselves so that we stay current for our clients who have high expectations of our knowledge and abilities. We want to pass on all that we have learned to an assistant/technician who is eager to practice and learn the intricacies of feline medicine and what we have learned over the past 20 years. Our staff are all Fear Free certified and will happily help a new employee achieve this certification as well.
We welcome new ideas and ways to improve upon what and how we care for our patients and their owners. We hope a new assistant/technician will bring knowledge and skills to add to our acumen.
We require someone with at least one year of experience with a passion for feline medicine and behavior.

Animal Medical Center of Wyoming in Gillette, WY is looking for an after-hours Small Animal On-Call veterinarian to work 10-12 shifts per month for a base salary starting at $130,000, with a higher base and/or production based bonus packages available depending on experience and shift commitment per month. Veterianarians also interested in seeing equine patients are always welcome to apply, but the primary need is for after-hours coverage for the local small animal population.
Animal Medical Cente of Wyoming is a full service, mixed animal hospital that cares primarily for dogs and cats, horses, and cows, although we occasionally treat some pocket pets and other large animals (goats, pigs, llamas, donkeys). Our hospital was founded in 1991 by Dr. Darren Lynde and Dr. Marshall Kohr, both Colorado State University grads, with the goal to make a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them. We have worked hard to build a collaborative team, which helps us provide the best care to every patient. As a staple in the community for 30 years, we are very passionate about giving back: we proudly support events like 4-H, rodeos, various youth activities, and our local animal shelter.
Our hospital is fully equipped to treat small and large animals. In our small animal hospital we have six exam rooms, a surgery suite, Sound-Elkin digital radiography, digital dental radiography, and GE Logic digital ultrasound with Doppler. Any images needing further interpretation can be sent out to PetRays. Dentistry is a large portion of our caseload and we practice the gold standard of care. We take full mouth radiographs on every patient and we also send our new veterinarians and technicians to a continuing education course with a board certified dentist for advanced training in dentistry. In our large animal hospital we have an equine exam area with the same ultrasound and radiography as in our small animal hospital, endoscopy, a surgical area for procedures that don’t require intubation, cattle chute, seven stalls in our heated barn, two clinic trucks available for house calls, and an Arthrex ACS and PRP system, which can be used for dogs, too. We went paperless in 2008 and use Cornerstone for our electronic medical records. AMC also has boarding, grooming, cremation services, and a pet food outlet in our building.
Generous signing and retention bonuses are available for qualified candidates, and travel stipends of up to $25,000/yr are available for non-local candidates interested in exploring the area before making a permanent commitment to relocation. A comprehensive benefits package is included for all successful candidates.
Animal Medical Center of Wyoming is located in Gillette, WY. There are so many places to explore in Wyoming and its surrounding states, including the beautiful National Parks and Monuments, like Yellowstone, the Badlands, the Bighorn Mountains, and Devils Tower. Wyoming is also known for its outdoor recreational activities, including snow skiing, snowboarding, hiking, horseback riding, and fishing.
