Join a Practice That Values Communication, Hard Work & Quality Medicine!

Appleton Veterinary Clinic, located in Appleton, Minnesota, is excited to welcome a Mixed Animal Veterinarian to our team. We are a well-established, community focused practice that provides high-quality care, serving animals of all sizes and species. If you’re passionate about making a difference in a rural community, enjoy a mixture of both small and large animal medicine, and want to work alongside a supportive, hardworking team that values growth, learning and compassion, we’d love to meet you!

About Us - Two Hospitals, One Team

Appleton Veterinary Clinic has been a trusted part of the community for years, providing both general practice and emergency services. Our practice is known for its laid-back, even-keeled atmosphere, with a team that gets along well and shares a strong work ethic and passion for our hospital. Clients are deeply appreciative of our commitment to their animals, and we take pride in offering quality medicine at an affordable price.

While our sister clinic, Dawson Veterinary Clinic, focuses more on small animals and equine care, Appleton maintains a strong mix of small and large animal cases while also offering exotic pet care, as well as working with local wildlife rescues to treat raptors. With emergency care playing a significant role in our practice, we are looking for a veterinarian who is comfortable with or eager to learn about handling urgent cases.

Our practice is well-equipped with:

• Digital X-ray
• In-house labs
• Zoetis Imagyst
• Ultrasound
• Mobile cattle chute

What Makes Us Stand Out

Appleton Veterinary Clinic offers a unique dual-hospital experience, allowing veterinarians to rotate between Appleton and Dawson for a diverse and engaging caseload. From small animals to large, exotics to equine, this role provides endless learning opportunities in a supportive and mentorship-driven environment. Our commitment to client relationships, flexible care, and a team-based culture makes us a standout practice for veterinarians who want variety, mentorship, and a close-knit community. We are open to mentoring a new graduate and encourage those who are eager to develop their skills in surgery, emergency medicine, and mixed animal medicine to apply.

MentorVet Leap

MentorVet Leap is a virtual mentorship and professional growth program designed to help early-career veterinarians overcome common challenges like burnout, stress, and financial uncertainty. It offers a mix of online learning, peer networking, financial coaching, one-on-one mentorship to foster both personal and professional well-being, with access to mental health resources.

The Area

Appleton, MN, is a small, welcoming community that offers outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, hiking, and ATV trails. It’s a peaceful rural setting with a strong sense of community, yet larger cities like Minneapolis and Sioux Falls are within driving distance for weekend getaways. With local amenities, small-town charm, and access to outdoor adventures, Appleton is an ideal place for those who enjoy a slower pace of life with plenty of opportunities to explore.
