Practice for this role

About the role

Provide routine wellness exams and perform medical procedures such as vaccinations and surgeries. Maintain patient records and build rapport with clients while mentoring technical support staff.

Who we are

  • At Lansing Animal Hospital, we work as a unit to deliver the best possible pet care to our community. As a small yet fully equipped small animal general practice, we handle a variety of cases, such as:
  • Ill pet visits and wellness exams
  • Soft tissue surgery, such as spay and neuters and mass removals
  • Dentals
  • Digital Radiography
  • Ultrasound

Our newly remodeled clinic also has 5 spacious exam rooms, with a separate euthanasia suite to ensure both patient and team comfort.

What life is like at lansing animal hospital

Our environment is different than other general practices. From the moment you step into our waiting room (what we call “the family room”), you are treated with respect and compassion whether you’re a pet parent or a team member.

Our veterinarians work side-by-side with our support team and pet parents to create shared decisions and customized treatment plans. While many of our team members have unique backgrounds, we all have a shared calling in life—veterinary medicine.

  • Provide routine wellness exams and diagnosis
  • Perform medical procedures such as vaccinations, dental procedures, soft tissue surgery, orthopedic surgery, and necessary diagnostics
  • Administer and accurately monitor controlled substances
  • Maintain and complete patient records
  • Serve as mentor to technical support staff
  • Build and establish rapport with the client base, demonstrating exceptional bedside manner and communication

Qualifications

  • Graduate of an AVMA accredited Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program
  • Licensure in the state of Indiana or eligibility to obtain licensure prior to start
  • Strong proficiency in medical knowledge and surgical skills
  • Exemplary professionalism and communication skills with both team members and clients
  • Strong decision-making and time-management skills
  • Commitment to ongoing professional development and growth
