- Supportive, Low-Drama Culture: Enjoy mentorship, collaboration, and a tight-knit team that has each other’s backs.
- Real Work-Life Balance: Standard hours (M–F 8:00–5:30, Sat AM) with a reasonable, flexible on-call rotation.
- Community-Focused Medicine: Become the trusted veterinarian for generations of local families and farms.

- Complete farm calls and participate in shared on-call duties.
- Work closely with skilled technicians, assistants, and support staff.

Benefits
Our Community
Washington, Georgia is a scenic, historic town in Wilkes County. Nestled in rural east-central Georgia, it’s the perfect mix of peaceful country living with convenient access to larger cities. Here, you’ll practice meaningful medicine in a place that values relationships, trust, and balanced living.
Why This Role Stands Out
Many mixed-animal practices offer either overwhelming caseloads or inconsistent support. At Wilkes County Veterinary Services, we combine:
- diverse species work,
- mentorship and teamwork,
- flexibility and life balance,
- and a community that truly appreciates its veterinarians.
This is a place where you can grow without burning out.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary (negotiable based on experience)
- Generous PTO starting day 1
- $2,500 CE allowance + 3 CE PTO days
- DEA, state licensure, AVMA membership & liability insurance fully covered

- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Opportunities to deepen your interests—surgery, bovine, small ruminants, and more
