Description

Practice Overview

Calera Animal Hospital began as a small clinic with a commitment to delivering high-quality care and personalized attention to each pet. We have provided compassionate and comprehensive veterinary care to pets and their families for over 20 years.

Over the years, we have expanded our services and grown our team, earning the trust and loyalty of our community. Today, we are proud to be recognized as a trusted name in veterinary care, dedicated to the health and well-being of every pet we treat.

More about the Role

We're a busy, mixed animal practice that sees companion pets, large animals, small mammals, reptiles, birds...we're open to them all! Most of our work is done in the practice, but we do have a truck for farm calls which is used several times per week. Our doctors are inquisitive and welcome learning new treatments and procedures, so bring your special interests to our practice!

We love our clients, but we also give back to the community by working with several rescues; so you'll get lots of soft tissue surgery experience. Our support team is ready to help take your career wherever you want it to go!

About the area: Calera is just 30 minutes from Birmingham. The home of the Heart of Dixie Railway Museum, we have a small-town feel but are close to the city if you want to take a drive.
