Job Description

Who We Are

Family Veterinary Services in Montague, NJ is looking for an experienced veterinarian to join our warm, down-to-earth team! If you’re looking for a practice where people genuinely know and care about one another, and where the hospital feels more like a home than you may have just found the perfect place.

Housed in a charming 1850s farmhouse, our hospital has original hardwood floors, a homey atmosphere, and even a hand-painted mural created by one of our doctors and her husband. Its original setting offers a bright, fun personality that fits beautifully into our rural community. Why You’ll Love It Here

  • We’re a fun, slightly quirky bunch who enjoy spending time together outside of work
  • Our clients often have been with us for decades, with some families trusting us with their pets for 30+ years.
  • We take the time to truly know our patients and clients, communicate closely with our technicians, and follow through on their care
  • 2:1 doctor-to-technician/assistant ratio for both outpatient and surgical appointments
  • 100% small animal practice in a beautiful, rural area surrounded by farms and outdoor recreation
  • Appointment lengths ranging from 20-40 minutes, based on the needs of the patients

We’re paper-lite and have the equipment you need to provide thoughtful, high-quality care, including ultrasound, digital radiology, and digital dental radiology.

What's in It for You

If you’re looking for a veterinary practice with character, a wonderful team, loyal clients, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, come meet us. We’d love to show you around our little farmhouse and tell you why we love working here.

We support our veterinarians with superior salary, benefits including health and dental, 401(k), CE days, vacation, EAP, and more. If you are passionate about providing quality care and want to be part of a practice that values growth, we invite you to reach out to learn more! Email kunger@vetcor.com.
