ABOUT US!
Stoney Hills Veterinary Service is looking for an additional Large Animal Vet to add to our 5 doctor highly progressive and expanding large animal practice. Our new veterinarian will be collaborated with and embraced as members of our team. Stoney Hills highly values a team atmosphere - both within the practice and with the clients we service. We have been providing care to the Michigan 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 and goats. This 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 5 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.
