Singapore - Small Animal Practice
The practice is seeking the services of a doctor with practical knowledge and skills. What’s needed is someone able to look after the Patients well, and provide a good service to the Clients. The medical standard offered to Clients is high, and less expensive alternatives are provided as options.
Support includes an experienced Team (so flexibility is important), and modern facilities and a high level of equipment.
From the doctors’ viewpoint, if you are able to operate with at least a little independence, the practice provides a fantastic opportunity to develop skills, being equipped well for imaging in radiology, ultrasound, and endoscopy; surgery in soft tissue and orthopaedics; dermatology; ophthalmology; and TCVM; and supports and encourages high level internal medicine. Additionally, it supports continuing education in whatever relevant field you choose, with flexible leave and financial support packages and equipment purchasing. You can potentially grow faster here than at a large referral practice. You do not need to be an expert to begin.
Remuneration is better than competitive, and Singapore is similar in many ways to London or Sydney – a big, fast, air-conditioned, well fed, english-speaking city.
If you believe you may be a candidate and are interested in our position, please contact us (foreenlowcy@yahoo.com.sg / +65 9146 5265) and we’ll help you decide.
FIJI, NADI - SMALL ANIMAL - 2 VET ROLES New Position
While Fiji, like the rest of the world, waits for international borders to open, we hope you’ll consider a full-time veterinarian position in our beautiful Fiji islands. It will take you back to a time of peace and tranquility.
Located on the largest island of Viti Levu, is Nadi, home to the International Airport, which is less than 10 minutes from the PASH facility. Nadi is the jumping off point for inter-island flights, day trips and local day cruises. It is just a 3-hour flight to Australia or New Zealand. Our many islands offer a wide variety of sports, nature and relaxation. The turquoise waters, warm temperatures and island lifestyle will welcome you. If you enjoy diving, surfing, snorkeling, swimming, hiking or just relaxing, you’ll find it all here…along with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
We are currently seeking two veterinarians to fill the positions of Resident Vet and Staff Vet. Our Resident Vet would require a minimum of 3 years’ experience and be comfortable with soft tissue and basic orthopedic work., including a variety of general surgeries.. We’re happy to consider more recent graduates for the staff position. We are looking for individuals who are compassionate, outgoing, organized and selfmotivated. Good communication skills are a necessity and a friendly attitude with a willingness to work in a team-based environment can make this a great job!
Please click here to see photos!
About Us: PASH is a registered charity, which opened its newly constructed facility in April 2019. In a short period of time we have developed a large clientele and have strong ties with the people who call Fiji home. We face many of the over-population, lack of education and basic animal care problems often found in island nations.
About the Practice: The practice is almost entirely small animal, dogs and cats, with very few exceptions. The medical department is supported by experienced vet nurses. It offers exam rooms, treatment areas, and modern animal housing units. Equipment includes full body digital x-ray, full dental unit, fully equipped double surgical suite, including concentrator anesthesia units, autoclave, microscope, centrifuge, etc. and it’s air-conditioned! We are hoping to raise funds for in-house hematology and biochemistry units in the near future.
We see a large number of privately-owned pets as well as caring for our many shelter animals. The practice involves consultations, vaccinations, illnesses, injuries and general surgeries, including some orthopedic work. If you enjoy variation, there’s lots of that! We do not have rabies in Fiji, so no worries there.
About the Shelter: We provide a large modern shelter for cats, puppies and a limited number of adult dogs. Our shelter animals are almost entirely abandoned or neglected animals. We operate a very successful adoption program and maintain a no-kill policy except for quality of life issues.
We are looking for our new vets to join us as soon as international travel permits. If you’re considering a change, Fiji can certainly offer that, together with the opportunity to work with a dedicated team and truly help make a difference in animal welfare.

KOH MAK, THAILAND - SMALL ANIMAL/WELFARE, VOLUNTEERS
COVID-19 UPDATE:
The world has changed and we have to accept what is. The animals don't know what the coronavirus is and so we won't tell them. We will just keep trying to help as many as we can.
If you're in Thailand, or once things open up, please contact us. We need your help. Thank You!
About Us:
- We are a small volunteer vet clinic caring for Koh Mak's stray, temple & owned animals and dedicated to improving their lives since 2016.
- We are a Non-Profit organization and rely entirely on donations, volunteers and sponsorship to carry out our work. We receive no government funding, and rely heavily on the good-will of the local community, tourists and friends.
- We would like to provide medical care and also to have a dedicated neutering and vaccination program carried out with the help of volunteer vets when they visit.
- We are seeking volunteers with veterinary experience. Ideal would be plenty of spay/neuter experience, preferably in a rural basic setting. But depending on the mix of experience, new Vets, or student Vets bringing their externship professors would be great.
- We are looking for both vets and vet nurses.
Long term Vets wanted.
We have realized that we really need to have long term Vet volunteers.
We are looking for a vet (and spouse if you have) who would appreciate the opportunity to take a sabbatical period, 6, 9 even 12 months off.
Someone who is looking to sink deep into Thai culture, food, language, and island life. And who is give back to a population that up until recently had no choice for the care of their animals.
Koh Mak is an incredible place to live that has so much to offer on many different levels.
So to that end we are building a small studio bungalow just across the yard from the clinic.
This self contained "doctor's studio" will have a private bath, small kitchenette, closet, work area, dinette table and front terrace, and designed to give privacy and space for the occupants.
Here is a short movie that shows what we do and who we are looking for.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4hgKQvGKw8&feature=youtu.be
And here is the full 11 minute film:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63nkBED8LQE&feature=youtu.be
The Clinic:
- Initially we will be looking at setting up and stocking the clinic, and creating best practices for a clinic that will have revolving doctors.
- We can control the dog and cat population through neutering of stray and temple animals and through promotion of the sterilizing of owned animals. We want to be able to provide nursing care to animals in crisis and work to educate the public in responsible animal care.
- Create an culturally appropriate ongoing sterilization project for owned pets as well as strays. (There is a once a year sterilization program, but it dosen't get the litters born between. And also some dogs cannot be caught on the one day, and so we need more time)
- We are in the process of creating and implementing a campaign to vaccinate all animals on the island (hopefully with tags and collars). No rabies on island currently, but we do have Distemper and Parvo. And a lot of mange and heart worm. Our goal is to keep Koh Mak rabies free, through vaccination and education.
- And then there is always accident/crisis care as it comes up.
- This will be a great place to hone your skills as you will be in effect the manager of the clinic when you are here. Please understand this aspect.
- Koh Mak is not a huge island, and so total management is possible with ongoing work.
- In addition we would like to setup a training program for folks on island be able to assist visiting vets. Maybe 1-2 people at a time. Learning prep, instrument ID, anesthesia, etc.
- We won't always get a vet and an assistant together (although this is the ideal pairing), so we hope to train a bunch here on island so when we have a doctor visiting we can have additional staff.
Accommodation:
- The clinic has 3 bedrooms a kitchen, and a dining area as part of the structure. We are in the process of constructing a stand alone bungalow for the long term Vets position.
- The cozy bedroom has a king bed, armoire and fan.
- There is a covered terrace with a table and chairs, and a Thai style bathroom with shower. A covered outdoor kitchen completes the apartment.
- There is also a 2 scooters and bicycles available for clinic use.
Koh Mak:
- The island is just off the coast of Cambodia, so the folks who live here come from both Thailand and Cambodia. Nearly all the labor on the island is from Cambodia.
- People working with the clinic will get a chance to interact with both of these similar but different cultures.
- In addition they will get to experience first hand how Buddhism is the cornerstone of both cultures.
- We work closely with the islands residents, so you will get a chance to how they live and experience island life.
- Koh Mak is located in an archipelago of 50+ islands on the far eastern seaboard of Thailand.
- There is plenty of opportunity for swimming, snorkeling, diving and Kayaking. On land, there are bicycling trails, muai Thai, tennis, and plenty of restaurants and bars.
- Koh Mak is a small island, and the "coconut wireless" speed is very fast. It's like a small village, with everyone knowing the goings on.
- Transport from Bangkok can be via small plane, taxi, bus, or minibus. The trip by land takes about 5 hours. There is then a 45 minute boat ride to the island.

highlighting the difference between wild and domestic animals; - Ensure the welfare of the cats and dogs within the environs of KWPLH;
- Provide free sterilization programmes for community pets and stray animals, prioritizing animals living in the vicinity of the center;

The primary goal is to train up our team [specifically our local veterinarian] in specialist medical care for our animals, under more or less challenging conditions, and to train our Indonesian animal care-taking staff in mastering necessary skills and knowledge on specialist issues that need frequent treatments.
Other tasks include ideas on improvement of our medical administration and records, enrichment and training programs, and enhancing our adoption programme. There will be work with the sun bears and other wild species, but most time will go to our domestic animals and staff training.
Outlined below is a list of topics that we need help with:
- Training on [preventative] care of key medical issues afflicting animals in our target area of work;
- Assist with health checks, monitoring of sick animals, and preventive
medicine; - Provide training to our local team in mastering key vet [nursing] skills, including but not limited to: safe and effective holds, injection techniques (s.c., i.m., and i.v.), animal handling, sterilization of tools, anesthesia administration and monitoring, clinic administration, first aid, etc;

COOK ISLANDS - SMALL ANIMAL / WELFARE VOLUNTEERS
Te Are Manu relies on the generosity of incredible volunteers from all over the world to staff our clinic and provide quality veterinary care to the animals of Rarotonga and Aitutaki (and covering the Cook Islands).
We have a beautiful new clinic based in Arorangi and welcome all our volunteers with open arms and a friendly Cook Islands welcome!
We are looking for volunteers who are keen to help our local animals whilst also having the opportunity to enjoy a stay in paradise.
Your volunteer experience will see you have time to gain experience and exposure to varied caseload. Previous volunteers have said Te Are Manu is a wonderful place for clinical professional development.
Our services include seeing patients for skin conditions, nail clips, road traffic accidents, dog bite and other wounds, fish poisoning and a high volume of spey and neuter surgeries.
You will also get to explore the beautiful place that we call home.
Please click here to see photos!
We like volunteers to stay for a minimum period of two weeks but please contact us if you can only stay for a shorter period and we willl see if we can accommodate that.
There is no maximum stay with us. Come for a year if you like!
We arrange all visa requirements for entry into the Cook Islands.
We greet volunteers at the airport and make sure they get settled in to our beautiful volunteer house just a few minutes away from the clinic and on a stunning beach - great for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing.
The Cook Islands is free from coronavirus but at the moment our borders are closed.
However there is a possibility that in the near future an ‘international bubble’ between Australia, New Zealand and the Cook Islands will be formed when both Australia and New Zealand have eliminated or contained the virus. This would allow passenger flights to start again. When that happens vets and vet nurses from those two countries will be able to reach Rarotonga. We hope this will happen in a month or two. In the meantime please contact Te Are Manu if you are interested in volunteering even though you won’t be able to specify a date at the moment.

FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES
Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life?
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle?
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?
The location:
The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains. The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees.
The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond. A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.
The real estate:
The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 3600 sq ft home built in 1994. A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land. The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.
Please click here to see photos!
The practice:
Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south. The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area. The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms. Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use. Grooming and boarding facilities are present. The clientele is loyal and appreciative. Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border. Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed. Annual gross revenue is in the $400,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.
The opportunity:
The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance. It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair. The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV’ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.
