Across Canada, VetStrategy is a network of veterinary practices united by a shared purpose: healthy animals, happy owners.
We bring this to life through three promises:
Our People Promise – To be a great place to work.
Our Customer Promise – To deliver world-class veterinary care, locally.
Our Sustainability Promise – To be a force for good.
Guided by our values—We Care, We Dare, We Share—we prioritize well-being, embrace challenges, and foster collaboration. Rooted in passion and compassion, we support our people, patients, their families, and our communities. Humble and approachable, we achieve more together.
Watzin Veterinary Clinic, a Small Animal practice in Waterdown, Ontario (located just north of Burlington and Hamilton) is seeking a full-time Associate Veterinarian. This is your chance to be part of a growing team of dedicated, progressive, client-focused individuals where we foster a collaborative and “family oriented” relationship with members of our team, clients, and patients.
At Watzin Veterinary Clinic, we love taking care of your loyal companions. For more than three decades we’ve been a full-service small animal clinic serving Hamilton and surrounding areas. Our clinic is fully staffed and equipped with all the latest equipment including CO2 laser, digital x-rays, digital dental radiography, dedicated dental suite and rehabilitation area.
We are Fear Free Certified!
The Fear Free initiative is led by our trained Veterinarians and implemented by our entire team who are also Fear Free Certified. Fear Free starts with recognizing pet behavior before, during and after their veterinary visit. We understand that the clinic can be a scary place for some patients and during their visit our team will identify a pet’s FAS score, including triggers of FAS. We offer segregated canine and feline sections in our reception area to keep pets comfortable and reduce their interaction.
Our Culture:
At Watzin Veterinary Clinic, we prioritize the growth and well-being of our team members. We believe in fostering a supportive culture through mentoring, coaching, and open discussion. With a team of professionals, you will never feel unsupported, and there are ample opportunities to learn, practice, and perfect your skills.
Giving Back to the Community
Watzin Veterinary Clinic proudly supports the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA and continues to help pets in need. We are now a drop-off location for donations to the HBSPCA.
Our community
