Company Description

Hammond Veterinary Services is seeking a compassionate, skilled Veterinarian to join our team in Hammond, Louisiana - a lively college town with true Southern charm on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. This role is best suited for a veterinarian with some clinical experience under their belt, as we are not able to support a new graduate at this time.

About the Role

As a Veterinarian at Hammond Veterinary Services, you'll provide high-quality medical, surgical, and preventive care to companion animals in a supportive, collaborative environment. We're looking for someone confident in their clinical skills who communicates well with clients and enjoys being part of a close-knit team.

What you'll do:

• Diagnose and treat a variety of medical and surgical cases
• Perform wellness exams, vaccinations, and preventive care
• Build lasting relationships with clients and the broader Hammond community
• Work alongside a supportive team of technicians and support staff

Why Hammond, Louisiana?

Relocating is a big decision, so here's why so many people fall in love with life here:

A university town with real energy. Hammond is home to Southeastern Louisiana University, the third-largest university in the state, giving the town a youthful, walkable energy along with sports, concerts, and events at places like the historic Columbia Theatre, a 1920s-era venue still hosting shows today.

The Strawberry Capital of the World. Hammond has earned this nickname, and every April the region celebrates with the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival, one of Louisiana's largest outdoor events, complete with live music, parades, and every strawberry treat imaginable.

A genuine craft beverage scene. Hammond has become a destination for craft beer lovers, anchored by Gnarly Barley Brewing and Low Road Brewing Company, the latter even offering an outdoor play area for pets alongside its 30 taps and weekend food trucks.

Southern food worth the drive. From upscale spots like One Thirteen to cozy local favorites like Cate Street Seafood Station, the food scene here leans into fresh Gulf seafood and seasonal Ponchatoula strawberries in everything from salads to dessert.

Swamp adventures right outside town. Hammond sits just a few miles from the vast wetlands between Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain, where guided swamp tours offer up-close encounters with alligators and a true taste of Louisiana's wild side.

Outdoor recreation for every pace. Zemurray Park offers sports fields, walking trails, and playgrounds, while the Tammany Trace, a paved multi-use path stretching for miles, is perfect for biking, jogging, or a relaxed walk among birds and wildflowers. The nearby Tangipahoa River is a favorite for kayaking and canoeing.

Walkable, historic downtown charm. Downtown Hammond is filled with red-brick streets, restored historic buildings, boutique shops, art galleries, and a Saturday farmers market at Cate Square Park where you can pick up local honey and homemade jams.

A big-city getaway, minutes away. Hammond sits right at the crossroads of Interstate 10 and Interstate 55, putting New Orleans and Baton Rouge both within an easy drive for a bigger night out whenever you want one.

Community events all year long. From Hot August Night, a lively downtown block party with live music, wine tastings, and art walks, to the Hungarian Settlement Museum honoring the area's unique cultural history, there's always something local and worth exploring.
