What we offer you:  

While we are extremely proud of all that makes our facility top-of-the-line, we are even more proud to say that providing our team with a guaranteed healthy work-life balance is one of our top priorities. Our Emergency Veterinarians work an average of 13 (8-hour) shifts per month, allowing ample time to enjoy being a true-Alaskan. Our leadership team invests in relief DVMs so our Full-Time DVMs can take their PTO.  We actively work to maintain a high technician to doctor ratio so our Veterinarians have the support that they need.

For example, this could be catered lunches during our busiest season, snowmachining trips to get out and enjoy the outdoors, float trips to fish local streams, self-defense classes, private movie screenings, or sometimes just one of our DVM's using the kitchen to make a glorious Thanksgiving meal for everyone on shift. We want to make certain your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!
