Associate Veterinarian - DVM

🐾 Associate Veterinarian – Bemidji, MN

Do you dream of working in a hospital where your patients don’t talk back (but sometimes scream at you in husky)?

Whether you’re a new grad, a seasoned pro, or a fan of flexible schedules and fur-covered scrubs, we’ve got a spot for you.

💥 SIGNING BONUS available – because vet school didn’t pay for itself. Starting at $20,000! 

🐶 About Us

Bemidji Veterinary Hospital has been keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching since the 1940s. We’re deeply rooted in our Minnesota community (think “locals helping locals with labradors”), and we’re proud to be one of the most comprehensive small animal hospitals in the state.

• GP appointments, urgent care, surgeries (soft tissue, even orthopedic—nothing too fluffy to fix with our advanced surgeries)
• Dentals that would impress your own hygienist
• Physical Rehab (hydrotherapy with our underwater treadmill, cold laser therapy, Bio-Pulse Electromagnetic Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy) 
• Minimal Exotics services (yes, we mean the lizard that bit you during your externship)
• Dermatology, ophthalmology, reproductive care, and more
• Plus allergy testing, because some pets are very sensitive

🐾 The Job

We’re on the lookout for an Associate Veterinarian—someone who’s as passionate about wellness exams as they are about giving unsolicited belly rubs. You can work in General Practice, Urgent Care, or both (we’re chill like that). Want a hybrid schedule? Cool. Prefer GP only? No problem. UC all day? Let’s talk.

🩺 Qualifications

• Minnesota DVM license – active, in good standing, and still legible
• Passion for teamwork and the occasional clinic-wide pun-off
• Ability to lift 40 lbs and/or wrestle a wiggly pug during nail trims

Bemidji also offers numerous hiking trails and camping!

• Signing Bonus (we mentioned this twice because... it's real)
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO that you’ll actually get to use (did we mention we are located next to a lake?)
• Wellness programs (for your actual wellness, not just a yoga mat in the break room)
• CE allowance + paid CE days (go get smarter)
• 401k with immediate match
• Paid parental leave
