The Bad Axe Animal Clinic is a small veterinarian practice established in 1971 in Bad Axe, Michigan, serving mainly canine and feline patients. We are seeking a full-time veterinarian to provide small animal services in our community. The highly trained support staff offer a family-like working environment, with a low turnover rate. The surgical suite and examination rooms were remodeled in 2016 and offer top-of-the-line Idexx equipment, including Procyte, Catalyst, Sedivue, and Snapshot readers. A new digital X-ray machine and Cornerstone software allow for the practice to run smoothly and efficiently.

Bad Axe is located in the heart of the thumb and is a great place to live and work. It is a close-knit community with small-town values. If relocation to the area is a consideration, there are many great amenities and benefits to small-town Michigan.
