- Supportive, Low-Drama Culture: Enjoy mentorship, collaboration, and a tight-knit team that has each other’s backs.
- Real Work-Life Balance: Standard hours (M–F 8:00–5:30, Sat AM) with a reasonable, flexible on-call rotation .

What You’ll Do
- Provide medical, surgical, and emergency care for multiple species.
- Conduct physical exams; diagnose and treat medical conditions; manage both routine and complex cases.

Community, Role, and Benefits
Our Community
Washington, Georgia is a scenic, historic town in Wilkes County. Nestled in rural east-central Georgia, it’s the perfect mix of peaceful country living with convenient access to larger cities. Here, you’ll practice meaningful medicine in a place that values relationships, trust, and balanced living.

Many mixed-animal practices offer either overwhelming caseloads or inconsistent support. At Wilkes County Veterinary Services, we combine:

This is a place where you can grow without burning out.
