Job description

Veterinarian (DVM) - Mixed Animal Associate
Department: Veterinarians
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Washington, Georgia
Description
Love both small and large animals? Want your work to matter in a rural community that truly appreciates you?
Wilkes County Veterinary Services is seeking a Veterinarian (DVM) - Mixed Animal Associate to join our growing team in beautiful Washington, Georgia.
If you're looking for variety, autonomy, supportive colleagues, and a caseload that keeps every day exciting, this role is for you.
Why Wilkes County
Why Join Wilkes County Veterinary Services?
  • True Mixed-Animal Practice: Work with small animals (dogs, cats), cattle, small ruminants, and occasional equine.
  • Supportive, Low-Drama Culture: Enjoy mentorship, collaboration, and a tight-knit team that has each other's backs.
  • Real Work-Life Balance: Standard hours (M-F 8:00-5:30, Sat AM) with a reasonable, flexible on-call rotation.
  • Community-Focused Medicine: Become the trusted veterinarian for generations of local families and farms.
  • Beautiful Rural Setting: Quiet living with quick access to Augusta and Athens.
  • Opportunities to Grow: Expand your skills in surgery, bovine medicine, small ruminants, or your own special interests, supported by CE and an experienced team.

What You'll Do & Who You Are
What You'll Do
  • Provide medical, surgical, and emergency care for multiple species.
  • Conduct physical exams; diagnose and treat medical conditions; manage both routine and complex cases.
  • Perform surgeries, including farm and field surgeries.
  • Deliver preventive care-vaccines, nutrition counseling, herd health, parasite control.
  • Complete farm calls and participate in shared on-call duties.
  • Work closely with skilled technicians, assistants, and support staff.
  • Maintain accurate medical records in our practice management system.
  • Build strong client relationships with owners who genuinely value your expertise.

Who You Are
  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree / VMD or equivalent, with a Georgia license (or the ability to obtain one).
  • Experienced in mixed-animal work or a motivated new graduate with strong large-animal interest.
  • Communicative, compassionate, and confident treating varied species-from cats to cattle.
  • A team player who thrives in a collaborative, community-oriented clinic.

Excited about hands-on large animal work and willing to participate in rotational on-call duties.
Community, Role, and Benefits
Our Community
Washington, Georgia is a scenic, historic town in Wilkes County. Nestled in rural east-central Georgia, it's the perfect mix of peaceful country living with convenient access to larger cities. Here, you'll practice meaningful medicine in a place that values relationships, trust, and balanced living.
Why This Role Stands Out
Many mixed-animal practices offer either overwhelming caseloads or inconsistent support. At Wilkes County Veterinary Services, we combine:
  • diverse species work,
  • mentorship and teamwork,
  • flexibility and life balance,
  • and a community that truly appreciates its veterinarians.

This is a place where you can grow without burning out.
What We Offer
  • Competitive base salary (negotiable based on experience)
  • Generous PTO starting day 1
  • $2,500 CE allowance + 3 CE PTO days
  • DEA, state licensure, AVMA membership & liability insurance fully covered
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Opportunities to deepen your interests-surgery, bovine, small ruminants, and more

Ready to Join Us?
If you're excited to make a meaningful impact in a true mixed-animal role and grow within a collaborative, rural veterinary practice, we'd love to hear from you!
