Remember Why You Became a Veterinarian?

Gratiot Animal Hospital | Saginaw, Michigan

You didn't become a veterinarian to jump from practice to practice, hoping the next one would be different. You didn’t go to vet school to hit productivity metrics or squeeze clients into a 15-minute appointment.  You wanted to practice real medicine, build genuine relationships, and actually make decisions to improve patient care.  You wanted to find a professional home where you could grow, practice excellent medicine, and actually stay.

That place exists. Some of our veterinarians have been here 15 to 40 years. And we're hiring.

What Actually Matters Here

Your Professional Home
When technicians call this their "forever clinic," that tells you everything. This isn't a stepping stone—it's where veterinarians build careers spanning decades. Dr. McNally has created something rare: a place where people don't leave because they genuinely don't want to.

Your Work-Life Balance
Four-day work week, 8:30-5:00, with a two-hour lunch break. No evenings. No weekends. The kind of schedule where you can coach your kid's soccer team, have dinner with your family, and show up Monday morning actually rested.

Your Voice and Vision
Dr. McNally fosters a culture where every team member has ownership and pride in the practice. Want to explore new treatment modalities? Interested in integrative or shelter medicine? You'll find support, not roadblocks. Your ideas matter here.
