- We visit our Buddhist temple, caring for the temple dogs or joining meditation
- There is plenty of opportunity for swimming, snorkelling, diving, and kayaking. On land, we have very little elevation so it is suitable for cyclists and runners. There is Muay Thai, tennis, and restaurants and bars

Someone who is looking to sink deep into Thai culture, food, language, and island life.Koh Mak is an incredible place to live that has so much to offer on many levels.

BERMUDA - SMALL ANIMALS New Position
Rewarding Role for Experienced Vet in Bermuda
- Are you an experienced vet who is keen to grow beyond what is possible in the UK or the EU with the support of experienced clinical leaders?
- Do you like working with pet owners as well as their pets?
- Are you an adventurer at heart ready to experience life in a different part of the world for a while?
- Are you someone that maintains their cool under pressure, yet loves to have fun in the right moments?
- Are you ready to add some pink sand and clear blue waters to your life?
If so, please read on. We have the job of a lifetime to tell you all about!
About us
At Bermuda Veterinary Services we have built a facility where we can practice the very best medicine possible to give our patients exceptional care. We started the practice in January 2015, and since then it has grown year on year to the point where we require additional staff to join us.
In addition to three Veterinarians and Nurses we have dedicated trainee nursing assistants, receptionists, kennel assistants, and groomers. All of this means you will be able to really focus on being the vet rather than all things to all people.
Our premises feature an Esoate MRI which enables us to take our cases even further, faster. High specification ultrasound (Esoate Mylab Seven), full digital radiography & endoscopes complete our imaging technology. Our dental x-ray, im3 machine and advanced dentistry training enable us to provide high level dental services to our clients, including complex surgical extractions.
Please click here to see photos!
As Bermuda does not have resident Board Certified veterinary specialists or referral centers, we are the last frontier in helping the animals who need us. This might be scary to some, but rest assured you’ll be working with experienced vets who can and do handle everything. With our skills, experience and equipment, we are effectively the local referral option and take the second opinions and as a result you will grow faster. If you want to grow to be an outstanding vet with a broad range of skills, working with us is a path to achieving this goal. We appreciate that this isn’t for everyone, but for someone who is experienced and wishes to continue to develop their skills and experience - this is the perfect job!
We have a wide and varied caseload in solely small animal practice. It’s guaranteed you will experience cases that are both challenging and rewarding. If you do have a Certificate in Imaging or Internal Medicine, you would make great use of your knowledge with us!
Let’s talk about our approach to cases. We provide exemplary medicine. We do this while taking account of the pet and family circumstances, because one size doesn’t fit all.
About you
You will be someone who has built a good level of knowledge and has a pragmatic approach to solving medical problems. For this role you will need a few years under your belt, but you will not be closed to new ideas and ways of doing things. So you’ll have experience, but also be open to collaborating and learning from those around you.
You’ll be a fun and energising person to be around. A glass half full kind of a person, who can see the positive side of life, even when things get stressful - as they inevitably do when you work as a veterinarian.
One thing that matters a lot to us are the practice values, so we’re looking for people who share ours. They are: trust, honesty, loyalty, integrity, quality, effort and fairness.
You’ll absolutely have a sense of adventure (and fun). Bermuda has much to explore and is an expat’s paradise location. Allied to that sense of adventure will be the courage to make bold leaps. Perhaps the thought of case diversity and career progress excites you again. Vaccines, spays and neuters alone don’t do it for you anymore and you are ready for a larger variety of challenging cases you can get your teeth into.
In a hospital like ours, there is support, but we’ve noticed that the people who do best have the following qualities:
- They are driven - veterinary medicine is their calling.
- Effort focused - they get stuck in and are not mentally crippled by risk or errors. They learn.
- Empathy - they can connect with and understand their fellow humans!
- Capable - they have the basic surgical, medical and dental skills upon which to build.
- Team players - they prioritise the greater good.
About the job
A day in the life of a vet at our hospital is very varied, as you’d expect. Your day will be split between consulting and surgery. We tend to do our surgery in the morning and get things done by early afternoon. We also have consulting hours throughout the day.
Typical responsibilities will include:
- Routine consults
- Inpatient medicine
- Surgical procedures
- Managing critical care patients
- Dentistry
- 24-hour hospital care
- Diagnostic workups including with Esoate Pet MRI and Esoate Mylab Seven (We’ll teach you if you don’t know.)
We do see emergency cases so if you like ECC then this is a role you will enjoy. Don’t be put off though if you need support for these cases. As long as you are willing to learn, we’ll support you in further developing these skills.
About Bermuda
Bermuda is a fantastic place to live and work, with no pollution, a cosmopolitan outlook and year-round sunshine.

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.

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.
