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!

Our part of the peach state is full of historical towns where one can admire Victorian architecture or go antiquing. Albany sits at the center of Southwest Georgia, a storied region closely tied to America’s early Native American culture, Southern hospitality and the time-less sport of fishing and hunting. Lying below the land around Albany is the Floridan Aquifer, an ocean of fresh water that feeds the area’s rivers and creeks.

Animal Medical Center of Wyoming in Gillette, WY is looking for a full-time small or mixed animal Veterinarian to join our team.
Animal Medical Center 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. You can learn more about our hospital at https://gilletteveterinarian.com.
Our ideal candidate enjoys a fast-paced environment, is comfortable working with dogs, cats, horses, and cows, and is a team player. Our hospital could provide mentorship to a new grad, as we have veterinarians with a wide variety of interests and experience, as well as a diverse patient caseload. All of our doctors rotate through weekend and week night on-call shifts, so some on call responsibilities are required. The breakdown of companion animal to large animal is 60% companion animal, 30% equine, and 10% cow/calf.
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.
At Animal Medical Center of Wyoming, we take the health and well-being of our employees seriously, offering flexible working conditions and encouraging a well-rounded work/life balance. We offer competitive salary with high earning potential, high quality health, dental, and vision insurance, optional life insurance, disability insurance, 401K, generous CE allowance, reimbursement for membership dues and license fees, and many more discounts and supplemental insurance options!
