Practice

Our mission at France Avenue Pet Hospital is to deliver exceptional veterinary care with a commitment to high-quality medicine and compassionate service for small animals. We prioritize the health and well-being of every animal entrusted to our care while also fostering strong relationships with their owners. Through continuous education, advanced techniques, and genuine empathy, we aim to exceed expectations and become a trusted partner in every pet’s journey to wellness.

Position Purpose

France Avenue Pet Hospital in Bloomington, Minnesota, is growing, and we need another DVM to join us on the journey! We are a full-service small animal practice that prides itself on our knowledge, passion, and skilled professionals. Located in the Minneapolis metropolitan area, our clients are caring and plentiful. Over the last 17 years, we have built many life-long relationships and welcome a new face to our practice to help create more!

This position comes with a great multi-site opportunity at our sister location, Bush Lake Pet Hospital, in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Our second location is a newly built, state-of-the-art facility within the Minneapolis Metro area, helping our cohesive team achieve even more lifelong relationships within our community.

Our practices currently consist of 2 full-time DVMs, 3 certified veterinary technicians, and 3 veterinary assistants, making an ideal doctor-to-tech/assistant ratio. Our technical staff is highly utilized, ensuring that their doctors are never without a hand and are always able to manage their time as needed. Caseloads are optimal for a doctor who likes to keep a steady agenda with a balance of medical and surgical cases. We see dogs, cats, and a multitude of exotic companion animals.

At France Avenue Pet Hospital and Bush Lake Pet Hospital, we foster a supportive and collaborative work environment welcoming DVMs of all experience levels, including new and recent graduates. Our experienced doctors are compassionate, ambitious, and hardworking, making them great mentors for those starting their careers in veterinary medicine.

Full-time and part-time positions are available.
