Practice

At Dyer County Animal Hospital, located in Dyersburg, TN, our mission is to provide the highest quality veterinary services to every client and patient. From the joy of new puppy/kitten visits to the sorrow of end-of-life care, our doctors proudly serve the pets of Dyersburg and the surrounding area, bringing their vast experience to every case they treat. Our doctors are supported by a wonderful staff who are equally as experienced and compassionate.

Position Purpose

Our 4-doctor practice is hiring an additional doctor in anticipation of a retirement later this year. We're trying to get a head start on this transition, so we're offering a large Sign-On Bonus to get another doctor in here as soon as possible!

Whether you're an experienced doctor or just starting your career, our practice will encourage you to pursue your passions in veterinary medicine! Our building is outfitted with all the equipment you'll need for high-quality medicine; 4 exam rooms, inhouse labs and a large surgery suite will welcome doctors. We also encourage work with our local animal shelter, so you will get lots of soft tissue surgery experience😊 And if mentorship is on your list, we're glad to share our knowledge and provide strong guidance to all!

For any veterinarians looking to practice in a great community, we encourage you to apply because you'll get the mentorship to grow!

About the area: Established in the 1820s, Dyersburg’s history is well preserved in homes and historic buildings along Troy Avenue and lining the square. Residents can enjoy partaking in walks through the Historic Courthouse Square, exploring the Mississippi River Trail pathways and bikeways, and attending community events like the Main Street Farmers Market. Just a short distance away is Reel Foot Lake where you'll find the boating and fishing unmatched except for the beautiful sunsets! We're a great community to live, work, play and visit!
