A privately owned, 3-doctor companion animal hospital

TN visa sponsorship (no lottery, no cap)NY limited permit — practice while you finish licensureRelocation supportNo student-debt buy-in
An established, independently owned small animal hospital in New York's Hudson Valley is hiring an associate veterinarian. This is a full-time, doctor-track role in a collaborative three-doctor practice with a stable support-staff team and a loyal client base.
New York is one of the friendliest states for internationally trained veterinarians: a limited permit lets a qualified international DVM begin practicing under supervision while completing full state licensure, so you can start seeing patients sooner rather than waiting on paperwork.
VetBridge USA coordinates the TN visa (through independent immigration attorneys), state licensing, and the move. There is no cost to the veterinarian.
