About Us

Stoney Hills Veterinary Service is a highly progressive and expanding large animal practice in southwest Michigan. We highly value a team atmosphere - both within the practice and with the clients we service. We have been providing care to the area for over 25 years. We are a predominantly mobile practice, servicing roughly 30,000 lactating dairy cows in addition to some beef, horses, sheep, goats, and a growing small animal clientele.

You’ll be working alongside:

• Dr. Rachell Bennecke (Michigan State '03); dairy, beef, equine, small ruminant
• Dr. Jeremy Boge (Michigan State '00); dairy, beef
• Dr. Michael Walker (Oregon State '11); dairy
• Dr. Ashley Swan (Michigan State '15); mixed/small animal
• Dr. Dena Letot (Michigan State '21); mixed/small animal
• Dr. Keri Suk (Michigan State '21); mixed/small animal

About This Role

This full time, associate veterinarian position could be suited for someone specifically interested in cattle, but we would love to have an applicant who has some equine interest, as that segment of our practice has rapidly expanded in the past 5 years. Along with our 6 veterinarians, our staff includes several support staff. We utilize Easy-Scan lite ultrasounds for our cattle herds. We have digital X-ray system and Terafloat dental equipment for horses.

Our full-time vets typically work 4-day work weeks. We have flexibility if you'd prefer single-species or mixed-large. We have over 65 years of combined experience to mentor young/new grads.

Daily Roles Bovine: client herd health visits, ultrasound palpation, training farm employees and reviewing protocols, routine surgery. Spanish speaking a huge benefit.

Daily Roles Equine/Small Ruminant: preventative care, reproductive work, sick animal calls, field emergencies, equine dentals, etc. If someone had interest in sports medicine/chiropractic/acupuncture, there is definitely a need.

We currently run a 4 week on call rotation where you're on call for a week, average is 1-2 after hours calls/week (ER vet receives 100% ER fee)

About You
