Job Description

Lodi Veterinary Care is seeking a full-time small animal veterinarian to join our progressive, collaborative team just 20 minutes north of Madison, Wisconsin.

We believe a successful veterinary career should provide both professional fulfillment and a life you enjoy outside of work. Our doctors are supported by a highly trained team of Certified Veterinary Technicians, Veterinary Technician Assistants, and Veterinary Service Specialists, allowing them to focus on practicing high-quality medicine and building meaningful relationships with clients and patients.

Our practice offers a diverse and engaging caseload that includes preventive care, dentistry, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, urgent care, and overnight hospitalization. Whether you are an experienced veterinarian or a newer graduate looking to grow, we provide individualized mentorship and encourage doctors to develop their clinical interests.

Our well-equipped hospital includes:

  • Digital radiology
  • Ultrasound
  • Laser therapy
  • A complete in-house laboratory
  • A dedicated surgical suite

Overnight Hospitalization Capabilities

Our urgent care hours create additional scheduling flexibility while giving our doctors the opportunity to provide much-needed care to pets and families in the community. You will have the variety and challenge of urgent cases without giving up the relationships and continuity that make general practice rewarding.

Life in Lodi

Lodi offers small-town charm, a welcoming community, and easy access to everything the Madison area has to offer. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, and boating nearby.

Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area, the Ice Age Trail, and Lake Wisconsin are all within approximately 10 minutes of the hospital.

When you are ready for city life, downtown Madison is only about 20 minutes away, offering restaurants, shopping, live entertainment, museums, and attractions such as the Olbrich Botanical Gardens and Madison Museum of Contemporary Art.

Sports fans will also be within easy reach of Packers, Brewers, Badgers, and other Wisconsin sporting events.
