FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES

Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life? 
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle? 
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?

The location: 

The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada.  The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains.  The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees. 

The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond.  A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.

The real estate:

The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom  3600 sq ft home built in 1994.  A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land.  The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a  secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.

Please click here to see photos! photos

The practice: 

Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south.  The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area.  The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms.  Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use.  Grooming and boarding facilities are present.  The clientele is loyal and appreciative.  Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border.  Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed.  Annual gross revenue is in the $600,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.

The opportunity: 

The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance.  It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair.  The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV’ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.

Want to truly make a difference, gain diverse experience, all while having the experience of a life time and escaping winter? Come join us for three months (or more!) of sponsored volunteering.

What would I experience?
Picture yourself working in a busy shelter and clinic alongside an amazing team headed up by our wonderful Dr Bernard Emmanuval and his team of six very capable interns. You will also go on outreach clinics, staying in villages and doing surgeries until your fingers can't tie anymore knots. You will help out with our schools and community education programs where you will smile till your face hurts. And, you will assist in our shelter, full of beautiful Fiji Specials, where your heart will swell till it nearly bursts.

Please click here to see photos! photos

What is sponsored volunteering?
We need qualified and experienced vets, who can support our team to continue to grow our important clinic and outreach services. We are fortunate to have a steady flow of short term volunteers, who do amazing work and are indispensable to how we function. What we also need is a few longer term volunteers. We have six (interns) vets 'in waiting' so we are looking for short term (3 month) 'appointments'. We will cover your return airfare, provide you with shared accommodation and a daily meal stipend/allowance. Meaning your volunteering won't cost you anything. Plus we will throw in some island trips and weekends away where we can. We are famous for hosting our volunteers, which is why so many return, so come give us a go. We promise you won't regret it.

What others say
"Very enthusiastic and caring team; not a single person working there didn’t care deeply about their job and the animals in their care. Veterinary interns were incredible with their surgical knowledge and efficiency day in and day out.
Village visits for spey/neuter was a welcome break from consulting. The crew made an exhausting day seem like a fun field trip.
Staff were very kind and made sure I always had transportation and knew all my itineraries to make sure my time there was trouble-free."
(Dr Cecilia Barr – NZ. Nov-Dec 2022)

"A rewarding experience working with an awesome team that made us really welcome. It really felt like we were making a difference."
(Jeni Watts Vet nurse & Dr Johanna Vicary, New Zealand, volunteers June 2024)

"A wonderful team. The continual hard work and dedication that is put into the SPCA Fiji shelter by the team on the ground is very inspiring and makes it very rewarding to be a part of. I enjoyed all the opportunities available – to consult with locals and their pets, perform many types of surgery, and participate in outreach - an excellent experience."
(Dr Emily Mackle)

"Staff were very friendly and very committed to their work. I felt like I was able to contribute positively to welfare of animals in Fiji and had opportunities to help with clinic set up and vet training support, which I find rewarding. Outreach clinics were a great experience. Practice manager and Board members went out of their way to provide positive out of work experiences making the entire trip very memorable."
(Dr Micaela Elphick - Hunter Valley, NSW - RSPCA)

SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA - SMALL ANIMAL / VOLUNTEER POSITIONS New Graduates welcome

Social Enterprise practice in Siem Reap, Cambodia: Be spontaneous!

This is an opportunity for adventure, travel, giving back, experiencing different animal diseases, and a new culture.

As well as the never-a-dull-moment clinical work here, Siem Reap is such a fabulous destination and the adventure of a lifetime. Three well-travelled NZ vet friends (two generations) visited recently, and they all said It was the best holiday of their lives!

We do like it when people are here longer, but we also welcome shorter stays. Being comfortable with sole charge and with surgery is an advantage, but no experience is required for diseases found outside your own country. My staff will help you navigate the fascinating world of exotic diseases.

Please click here to see photos! photos

This opportunity would also suit someone who wanted to volunteer full time or 3-4 days per week longer term. You can learn a lot and give back while having plenty of time to explore Cambodia and bordering countries for the remainder of the week.

We may or may not have accommodation available depending on availability and length of stay. We are a small team of four doing much for our human and animal community and are not able to cover any volunteer related expenses.

Visit: www.siemreapvet.com (out of date - don't seem to find the time for this) , www.EROVAAT.org and to learn more about us.

Please email Dr Trish Johansen at tjnzcam@gmail.com with references, a CV, availability, and why you would like to spend time with us. Your interest in volunteering is valued and appreciated. I endeavour to reply quickly, but sometimes emails slip through the net - I need a PA. Please don't hesitate to resend if you don't hear back within a week.

Thanks for reading, and searching for opportunities to pay your education forward in an exciting way.

EAST KALIMANTAN, BORNEO - SMALL ANIMAL/WELFARE/SUN BEARS VOLUNTEERS

Veterinary help needed in Indonesian Borneo

Help improve animal welfare in Indonesia by sharing your skills and experience!

Facility and Program Description:
Kawasan Wisata Pendidikan Lingkungan Hidup (KWPLH) is an environmental education center located in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The facility’s goal is to increase environmental awareness and animal welfare. In addition to our animal programmes, the facility has several education buildings, picnic areas and playgrounds. To see a full description of the KWPLH’s facilities and goals visit www.beruangmadu.org or email us.

KWPLH provides a wonderful accommodation in the form of a forested enclosure for 6 sun bears rescued from the illegal pet trade. Sun bears are the mascot of Balikpapan, and many of our current education programs focus on this species.

Our Domestic Animal Program was created in response to the frequent dumping of kittens/puppies at KWPLH. We have attempted to establish a safe home for abandoned animals and a sterilization and adoption program. We currently have 110+ cats under our care as well as close to 30 dogs, and occasionally take care of other rescued wildlife species whenever brought to the center (macaque, civets, slow loris, birds).

The goals of our Domestic Animal Program are:

Experienced Volunteer Vet [Nurse] Needed
We are in need of experienced veterinarians to assist with training and development of our local animal care team. The primary goal is to further train up our team [specifically our local veterinarian] in specialist medical care for our animals, under more or less challenging conditions, and to train our Indonesian animal care-taking staff in mastering necessary skills and knowledge on specialist issues that need frequent treatments.

Other tasks include ideas on improvement of our medical administration and records, enrichment and training programs, and enhancing our adoption programme. There will be work with the sun bears and other wild species, but most time will go to our domestic animals and staff training.

Outlined below is a list of topics that we need help with:

For more details about KWPLH and the veterinary position please email us!

We welcome the help from professional veterinarians in 2025. The position is preferably for 3+ months, but do e-mail us as well if you are available for shorter periods. Free housing is provided at the center, but a small local catering fee is required for meals. A volunteer visa will need to be applied for at a small cost. Couples are also welcome to apply.

The veterinary clinic owners started and work very closely with SAM’S ANIMAL WELFARE for over 20 years. This involves weekly desexing clinics and more recently doing joint clinics with vets beyond borders (https://www.samsanimalwelfare.com/)

The horses we see are mainly stock horses and pleasure horses from the 2 riding schools in Port Vila.

The clientele is very diverse- from the local Ni-Vanuatu population as well as expatriates from many different countries including French, Australian, New Zealand, English, USA, Canadian, Chinese, etc.

A proportion of the business is pet exports, for the repatriation of animals around the world. This includes the veterinary treatments, certificates, organising transportation, etc.

The owners are willing to provide advice.

Our story: we came to Port Vila 22 years ago with the intention of staying only one year. Vanuatu for us has turned out to be a particularly lovely place to raise a family; our three girls all went to a French School and now speak English, French and Bislama fluently. The clinic has provided us with a wonderful income, plus a very interesting and diverse social life in the Port Vila community. There are no traffic lights in Port Vila, and you can find plenty of time to swim, dive or go fishing, horse ride, play tennis, golf, or just track across any of the 84 islands of Vanuatu (originally called the New Hebrides) that stretch over 650km in the pacific.
