Position Overview

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Equine Veterinarian to join our team at West Michigan Veterinary Service . The ideal candidate will be passionate about providing high-quality veterinary care and possess excellent communication skills to build lasting relationships with our clients. You will work alongside a team of experienced veterinarians, technicians, and support staff and will work closely with the Hospital Manager and Regional Manager.

Our growing practice serves a diverse caseload of English (hunter / jumper), Western performance horses, and beloved pets, providing comprehensive ambulatory and in-hospital care with an established team of three experienced equine doctors. We pride ourselves on maintaining a laid-back, family atmosphere where teamwork comes first. Our doctors share cases and collaborate closely, we believe that open communication and mutual support is essential to providing excellent care.

About the Position :

  • Schedule : Full-time (40 hours / week) with a shared rotating on-call schedule.

  • Mentorship : We offer a Junior Associate program, ideal for newer veterinarians to build confidence and skills before transitioning into a full Associate role.
  • Our clinic is located in Coopersville, MI - a friendly, growing town perfectly situated between Grand Rapids (vibrant city life and a younger crowd) and Grand Haven (beautiful Lake Michigan beaches and a relaxed coastal vibe). Enjoy the best of both worlds : a rural practice setting with easy access to urban and outdoor amenities.
