Location: Rocky View, Alberta
Practice: Barrett Veterinary Practice
Type: Part-Time, Flexible Hours

Extraordinary care for your fuzzy family. That’s not just a tagline—it’s how we show up every day at Barrett Veterinary Practice. Nestled just three minutes east of the Ring Road on the 22x, we’re a small but mighty clinic offering big-hearted veterinary care to cats, dogs, horses, and even the odd goat (yes, really).

We’re growing, and so is the need for another skilled, kind-hearted veterinarian to join our team. If you’re passionate about patient care, love building trusted relationships with pet parents, and want a role that respects your time and life outside the clinic, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • You love veterinary medicine and have a path you want to follow — surgery doesn’t have to be part of that path.
  • Providing thoughtful, high-quality care for companion animals (and sometimes their larger pasture-mates).
  • Communicating clearly and compassionately with pet parents, because great care starts with trust.
  • Supporting a collaborative clinic team where everyone’s voice matters.
  • Participating in medical planning that ensures continuity and excellence in patient care.
  • Working with a predictable, mutually agreed-upon schedule because consistency helps everyone, including our four-legged patients.

Let’s Talk About Time

We believe in flexibility that works for you and our clients. Whether you’re looking for 1–2 full days per week or several half-days, we’re open to creating a rhythm that supports:

  • Predictability for pet parents and continuity of care
  • Your personal and professional goals
  • A sustainable work-life balance

What You Bring

  • DVM, licensed (or eligible) to practice in Alberta
  • A gentle, skilled hand and a calm presence
  • Great communication skills—with both humans and animals
  • A team-oriented spirit and a love for continuous learning
  • Experience with equine or farm animals is a lovely bonus, but not required

Why Barrett?

  • Warm, community-focused culture (think: a team that actually enjoys working together)
  • Gorgeous countryside clinic just minutes from Calgary
  • Empowered, no-drama environment where your input is valued
