Looking for the next step in your veterinary career? Hartrick Veterinary Hospital has an exciting opportunity for you!

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care to our community, Hartrick Veterinary Hospital is expanding our services and hours to include Urgent Care on the weekends. We are always seeking ways to enhance what we offer to the pets and families we serve. This service will address non-life-threatening issues that still require prompt attention, such as vomiting/diarrhea, minor wounds, limping, eye injuries or changes, and sudden behavior changes. While these conditions may not be emergencies, timely evaluation and treatment are essential to preventing complications and improving comfort for pets in need. 

Hartrick Veterinary Hospital is a growing 5.5-doctor practice currently serving dogs, cats, and pocket pets. We’re thrilled to welcome a new Urgent Care veterinarian to our team in March, further expanding our capabilities and services.

We offer a broad range of veterinary services, including:

• Orthopedic Surgeries
• Diagnostic Ultrasound
• Echocardiograms
• Feline-Friendly Certified Care
• Fear Free Trained Staff
• Laparoscopic Surgery for quicker healing times (used for spays, gastropexy, foreign body removals, and more)

In addition, we have adopted Scribe Note, a state-of-the-art AI technology that has greatly streamlined our workflow. This tool automatically transcribes conversations with clients into detailed veterinary medical documentation at the touch of a button, saving time and allowing our team to focus more on patient care and less on charting.

With Scribe Note, as our doctors discuss a pet’s history and examination with clients, the system captures key details and creates an accurate transcribed note, which can then be easily edited and transferred into our practice management system.

At Hartrick Veterinary Clinic, we are continually improving our facilities, services, and technology to provide the highest quality care to our patients and their families. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!

If you are looking to work in a dynamic and supportive environment with cutting-edge technology, opportunities for professional development, and a caring team, we’d love to meet you!
