Veterinary Associate

Be a part of our story! 

 

We are a privately owned clinic praying for a veterinarian who aims to professionally thrive as a part of a loving, intelligent and unified growing team. 

 

We are LaFayette Animal Clinic. 

 

Our mission? To cultivate skills and nurture souls through the love of Jesus Christ. 

 

How do we do that? We take a long walk with our expanding clientele and their pets...together! We seek a full-time veterinary associate who desires to take that walk with us!

 

LaFayette Animal Clinic was founded under different names 55 years ago. It originally started as a mixed-animal practice and eventually became a small-animal-only veterinary clinic. LaFayette Animal Clinic in Walker County, Georgia, has been a trusted hometown clinic for many years.  We are privileged to have the former owner, Rusty Smitherman with 55 years of experience, to work with us 2 days a week.

We prayerfully seek the right veterinarian to join our team in bringing quality, relational veterinary care back to beautiful Dade County, Georgia.

 

With breathtaking Taylor Ridge to the East and gorgeous Lookout Mountain to the West, LaFayette Georgia is a great place to live, work and play. World-class bouldering and rock-climbing, spectacular caves, premier hang-gliding, rich farmlands and refreshing hiking trails are all waiting on an outdoor enthusiast or someone who just enjoys a slower pace of life. And for the best of both worlds, the Tennessee Aquarium, big city parks, Chattanooga Zoo and other amenities of the unique city of Chattanooga Tennessee are just 15-20 minutes away.

 

Our owner is interested in mentoring a young veterinarian but welcomes a veterinarian with any level of experience. Iron sharpens iron!

 

We practice general medicine and surgery for cats and dogs. 

 

We have the general equipment such as ultrasound, anesthesia monitoring, digital radiographs, in-house Idexx lab, Portable Video Otoscope etc. and we intentionally invest in relationships and education, which leads to excellent veterinary care.

 

We can discuss pro-sal or straight production (or straight salary for newer DVMs). 

Medical benefits, employee discounts, PTO, holiday pay, Simple IRA retirement match, CE allowance, Maternity Leave.
