Associate Veterinarian (ER), Catskill Veterinary Services

The Experienced Vet Advantage

Impressive Earning Potential: Salary range of $100,000 - $200,000 (based on experience, schedule, and production).

Production Bonuses: Significant additional earning potential based on revenue (with no negative accrual).

Clinical Autonomy: We trust our doctors. You will have the freedom to manage your cases and tailor treatment plans to the individual needs of the patient.

Efficiency: Our high-level support staff allows you to be a doctor, not a technician.

Future Growth: We are breaking ground on a brand-new, state-of-the-art hospital opening soon in 2026. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor and have a voice in the growth of our ER department.

About Catskill Veterinary Services

We are the primary hub for veterinary care in Sullivan County, the Hudson Valley, and beyond. We are a "Full Scope" network designed to support the patient at every stage of life.

Our Network: In addition to our hospital hubs in Rock Hill and Newburgh, we operate a dedicated location in Middletown which serves as our main primary care facility. This ecosystem ensures a strong internal referral base and allows our ER team to focus on urgent cases while our Primary Care team handles wellness.

Continuity of Care: We offer the satisfaction of seeing cases through. If your critical ER patient needs long-term internal medicine management or advanced surgery, our internal team handles it. You get to see the outcomes of your hard work.

Honoring the Bond: We are deeply committed to preserving the human-animal bond. We support the owner just as much as the patient, fostering a strong community reputation that you can be proud of.

The Support You Deserve

You know the medicine. You need a team that can keep up. We have curated a team designed to maximize your efficiency and reduce your stress.

• Licensed & Capable: You will be flanked by a powerhouse team of Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) and experienced assistants. They are proficient in triage, catheter placement, anesthesia monitoring, and critical care nursing.
• Floor-Savvy Management: Our management team comes from the floor. They have years of hands-on experience, meaning they understand the challenges you face and know exactly how to support you.
• Collaborative Culture: We encourage a collaborative experience. We will meet you with the energy and drive you bring to the table. Whether you want to focus solely on clinical work or have an interest in mentoring younger associates, we facilitate your professional goals.

What We Are Looking For

• DVM/VMD Degree: With experience in Emergency Medicine or high-volume Urgent Care.
• Clinical Confidence: Proficiency in emergency surgery (GDV, splenectomy, lacerations) and management of complex medical cases (DKA, blocked cats, toxicities).
• NYS License: Current license (or ability to obtain one).

The Good Life

• Ideally Located: We are a short, scenic drive to NYC. You can enjoy the city culture on your days off, but live in an area with a lower cost of living, more land, and less traffic.
• The Good Life: The Hudson Valley is the food and drink capital of NY state. Enjoy farm-to-table dining, world-class wineries, and a vibrant art scene (Storm King, Dia:Beacon, Bethel Woods).
• Outdoor Access: Decompress after a shift by hiking Minnewaska, kayaking the Hudson or Delaware Rivers, or skiing in the winter.
