What if your veterinary career left real room for the rest of your life?

The Animal Care Clinic of Homer Glen is a well-established small animal practice in one of Chicago’s most laid-back, nature-rich southwest suburbs.

The Resources

• Digital radiographs and dental radiography
• Class IV therapy laser and surgical laser

The Lifestyle

• Settle into a family-friendly village with larger lots, open space, and a genuinely quiet pace, about 30 miles from downtown Chicago
• Explore 17+ miles of local trails, the 103-acre Heritage Park with disc golf, and the woodlands of Homer Lake Forest Preserve
• Enjoy community staples like HomerFest, seasonal farm visits to Bengtson’s, and local dining along the 159th Street and Bell Road corridors
• Starting salary of $130,000–$140,000 plus production bonuses
• 401(k) with company match
• Access to CE courses (dentistry, ultrasound, surgery, and more) at NVA’s nearby PetOne Training Center in Addison, IL
• Professional liability coverage, DEA and state licensing, and VIN membership
