Are you looking for a practice where quality medicine, teamwork, and trust come first?
Bluewater Animal Health Center is an independently owned small animal practice entering an exciting new chapter under new ownership. We’re seeking a compassionate, skilled Veterinary Technician (or experienced Veterinary Nurse) to join our growing team.
We’re intentionally building the kind of practice we’d want to work in ourselves-one where kindness, teamwork, trust, and excellent medicine are equally important.
As an independent practice, we’re able to focus on what matters most- our patients, our clients, and our team. We value thoughtful medicine, honest communication, and building lasting relationships rather than meeting corporate metrics or production goals.
Our clients trust us because they are committed to providing excellent care for their pets. That allows our team to practice medicine the way it should be practiced- with thorough diagnostics, thoughtful treatment plans, and a shared commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for every patient.

- Independently owned and operated- not part of a corporate network.
- Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends or overnight shifts.

- Obtain high- quality radiographs and assist with diagnostic imaging.
