Associate DVM – Weste Animal Hospital (053025)

Full-Time Associate Veterinarian – Starting July 2025
Weste Animal Hospital | Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia

Are you looking to grow your veterinary career in a supportive, community-focused environment—without giving up your weekends or the ocean breeze? We’re excited to welcome a full-time Associate Veterinarian to our team starting July 2025!

Who We Are

Weste Animal Hospital is an independently owned, small animal practice nestled in the heart of Lawrencetown—just 30 minutes from Halifax and Dartmouth, and only minutes from some of Nova Scotia’s most beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and ocean views.

We’ve recently completed a full renovation of our building, creating a modern, spacious, and fully equipped clinic designed with both clients and team members in mind.

Our team includes five experienced veterinarians who enjoy collaborating and sharing knowledge in areas like surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, and dentistry. We work hard, laugh often, and take pride in the care we provide to our patients and each other.

The Position

  • Start Date: July 2025
  • Schedule: 4-day workweek, no weekends
  • Appointment Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with regular lunch breaks
  • Caseload includes wellness, medicine, surgery, dentistry, and client education
  • A strong team culture with support for mentorship, continuing education, and professional development
  • Support from an experienced, well-trained team of RVTs, assistants and receptionists
  • Regular lunch breaks, flexible scheduling, and a culture that respects work-life balance

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • Health and dental benefits
  • Continuing Education allowance and paid CE days
  • Paid vacation and personal days
  • Uniform allowance
  • Staff discounts for your own pets
  • A genuine voice in how we grow—because we’re independently owned and value your input

What We’re Looking For

  • Licensed (or eligible) to practice veterinary medicine in Nova Scotia
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • Confidence in general practice skills
  • A sense of humor and an appreciation for a well-timed treat in the breakroom (like ice cream cake on your birthday!)

Why Weste?

You’ll get to practice high-quality medicine in a beautiful, newly renovated space, surrounded by a team that truly enjoys working together. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a fresh chapter in your career, Weste offers a welcoming, community-based clinic where you can grow without burning out.

Let’s Chat!

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your resume to lynnr.wah@gmail.com.
