We are a well-established progressive 3-doctor small animal practice located in Saint Augustine FL. We offer many services to provide the best comprehensive care to our patients including Preventative Care Surgery Urgent Care Dentistry In-House Diagnostics Digital radiology Ultrasonography Medical and/or Vacation Boarding and more.
We welcome applicants who are new grads needing mentorship and support from other veterinarians in the practice as well as team members who are familiar with the daily ins and outs or a more experienced vet wanting to conquer new challenges in their career and maybe focus on a new discipline. There is a place for both at Bartram Trail Veterinary Hospital.
We have a hard-working group with a positive attitude that cares for our patient base which is primarily dog and catwith the occasional sick rat/guinea pig/rabbit and a cockatiel toenail trim for variety. The team is supportive of each other and has good chemistry together from veterinarians receptionists veterinary technicians and assistants to the kennel crew. We help each other and can be a bit silly sometimes (fair warning) but we are serious about the care we provide to our patients.
The hospital is a free-standing veterinary hospital plus a boarding facility. It is a privately owned business that was opened in 2006. There are several nearby specialty veterinary hospitals (internal medicine surgery ophthalmology dermatology neurology) for difficult cases. Emergency and urgent cases are referred to one of the three 24/7 emergency clinics one after-hour emergency clinic and one urgent care clinic.
We are open Mondays through Fridays 8 am to 5 pm and Saturdays 8 am to 1 pm. There is no after-hours emergency coverage required. A full-time position is 4 days a week with a rotating Saturday schedule and it is rare for our team to need to stay much past closing time. It is not a flex for us to stay late!

Our veterinary capabilities include in-house CBC and serum chemistry analyzers a tonometer digital x-ray dental x-ray high-speed dental drill/scaler/polisher unit microscope laser therapy isoflurane anesthesia machines multi-parameter patient monitoring equipment ultrasound ophthalmoscope otoscope and doppler blood pressure. We have a committed surgical suite 2 wet tables a dental table and a dry table in the spacious treatment area. There are four exam rooms with plenty of elbow room. Our records are maintained on our Intranet software for easy access. Teams work as a pair of veterinary technicians/assistants for each doctor to ensure smooth flow and a helping hand. The standard appointments are 30 minutes long giving you more time to discuss concerns and education with owners.
Outside of the hospital there are beaches the St Johns River historic St Augustine a professional football team and several state and national parks for camping and hiking. We are also located near Orlando and the theme parks so a weekend or day trip is an easy drive.
The area is growing with lots of new people and homes. There are 2 new high schools nearby as well as new K-8 schools. St Johns County has consistently had one of the highest-ranking school systems in the state. New patients/clients are making appointments with us every day. There are more doodles and Frenchies than you can shake a stick at.
Our team likes to get together for outings a have some non-hospital time together too. Paints with a Twist glass blowing zip-lining and a haunted pub tour in St Augustine are a few of the activities we have done. Team members have also participated in walks in support of Brain Cancer Awareness Canine Companions for Independence and a local High School.
Our base salary for the full-time position is $99000-$125000 based on experience. A part-time contract would be negotiated based on the schedule agreed upon.
