What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mixed Animal Veterinarian - East Canton, OH position at Red Star Veterinary Clinic?
Who we are:
Join Our Growing Herd at Red Star Veterinary Clinic!
Are you looking for variety, collaboration, and a supportive team? Come thrive with us at Red Star Veterinary Clinic — a well-established mixed-animal practice nestled in the scenic countryside of Northeastern Ohio. Our four-doctor team delivers high-quality medicine with compassion, mentorship, and a genuinely positive team culture.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Mixed Animal Associate Veterinarian to join our growing practice. This is a mixed-animal role, with a caseload primarily focused on equine and small ruminant medicine, alongside small animal care.
While we offer flexibility in case distribution—allowing a veterinarian to lean more heavily into small animal medicine if preferred—participation in the large animal on-call rotation is required as part of being a mixed practitioner.
Important distinction:This role does not include routine cattle or production work, making it an excellent fit for veterinarians who enjoy large animal medicine without heavy herd or production responsibilities.
