We said good-bye to Dr. Moller a couple of weeks ago and although we knew she was just with us for the summer, we miss her dearly. Having her here helped us discover how to use our space and team with a 3rd veterinarian - turns out we love it! Our booking schedule is feeling the loss of that extra space, so please give our team grace as we adjust again.

Below is our job post - please share so we can hopefully find another great addition to our team :)

Mount Remo Vet is hiring!

We are a group of motivated and like-minded women who have created our dream working environment and because of it, we have grown. Our case load and team would be better with a 3rd DVM joining us for 25-40 hours per week. Ideally, we find our person by next spring but are open to earlier or later start dates for the right fit.

Have you been looking for a practice that will respond to you? We order the drugs and equipment you want. We change our protocols based on new evidence. We adjust appointment lengths and booking density immediately based on feedback. And we find a way to make your vacation requests work. Our people are the foundation of who we are. But even incredible people cannot thrive if the system doesn’t work for them. That’s why an extra 1000 square feet of space is going to be finished in the next month.

We are a privately-owned mixed-animal practice in an emerging mountain town that is working meet the needs of our community. That means spectrum of care. Gold standard is offered and communicated, but acceptable alternatives are created based on the client and patient’s specific situation. We draw ethical lines, but we also find ways to give pets and their people a better life.

We are 15 hours from referral (or a 1.5-hour flight). This means we offer it, but when it is not accessible, we get to manage interesting and complex cases that we decide as a team how to handle. It keeps us fresh, and when shared with a super supportive team (including virtual specialist consults), it doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Below is the job in a nutshell – but PLEASE reach out to discuss your unique dreams (or triggers) if this resonates with you.

Location: Terrace, BC
Position: Licensed Veterinarian
Pay: Hourly. $50 - 85/hour based on experience. $10,000 signing bonus for a 2-year commitment.
Caseload: Canine + Feline (+/- Equine, occasional Bovine, Caprine, Ovine, Porcine, Poultry… tell us what you are comfortable with!)
Hours: 25 – 40 per week. Weekend call every 6-9 weeks with RVT +/- assistant. No mid-week call.
Vacation: 4 weeks paid, unlimited unpaid – if you can afford to take it off, take it off!
Benefits: Full package – dental, prescriptions, para-health practitioners. RRSP matching. Scrubs allowance. Personal pet care at cost. $4000 annual CE allowance (including pay for travel and time doing CE). Licensing fees covered.

Due to an urgent personal appointment and existing vacation time for our other veterinarians, we will be closed on Friday.

We have space blocked off this afternoon, tomorrow, and Monday to help ease the pressure of this closure. If you have an emergency on Friday, please call surrounding clinics to see if they have availability. Emergency fees may apply.

If you have an emergency over the weekend, call the clinic at (250) 635-6491 to be directed to the veterinarian on-call this weekend. The on-call veterinarian is giving up their time to rejuvenate and prepare for another week to provide emergency coverage.

Please be on time for your offered appointment and respect their time during the services. They may be dealing with multiple cases at once and will triage as best as possible.

07/29/2026

Today we will be closed at 1 pm for our annual staff BBQ and Birthday celebration!

We have extra space blocked off tomorrow morning for urgent and emergent cases so please leave a voicemail for our morning staff if something comes up this afternoon.

Friday marks 3-years since Mount Remo Veterinary Services established a physical clinic and grew from a tiny basement ambulatory clinic to a full-service veterinary hospital. Happy Birthday to us 🙂

Keep your eyes out this summer and fall as we add additional space and give the clinic a glow-up that reflects our continued commitment to providing accessible, reliable, and enjoyable care to our home. There will be some noise and dust in the coming weeks and months, but we promise that it will be worth it!

We are taking new clients again!

Our team will continue to call people on our waiting list, but if you have been looking for a local veterinary option, please head to www.mountremovet.com and fill out the New Client form with your information or give us a call at (250) 635-6491 if you have a current concern.

All new clients do need to come into the clinic for a meet & greet appointment so we can get a baseline for future care. Below is a long post that we previously shared to give some context about that policy decision and what it means to be a client at Mount Remo Vet. We are committed to providing comprehensive care and follow up tailored to your specific situation, every time. See more about who we are at www.mountremovet.com .

Now, what does it mean to be a client at a veterinary clinic?

** Its a long one, but it's worth it.**

Sometimes a clinic’s understanding and a pet owner’s understanding can be drastically different. And for good reason. Canadian human health care is structured completely differently from pet health care and veterinary medicine has changed a lot in the last 15 – 20 years. We hope the following explanation will help current and future clients better understand our policies and what we are trying to communicate when you call!

Here is some background.

Veterinarians are unable to provide care to a pet unless they are providing it through a licensed and inspected veterinary practice. This helps to ensure that there is a baseline standard of care and that there is a system of accountability for the veterinary professionals providing it. Therefore, when a pet owner brings their dog to a clinic, they are establishing a Veterinary-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR) with the CLINIC, not with the individual veterinarian. It is the clinic’s responsibility to fulfill their side of the relationship. It is the client’s responsibility to fulfill theirs.
So what is a Veterinary-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR)?
Although the specifics can be nuanced (the legal stuff), ultimately a VCPR is when a client agrees that the veterinarian will assess and make recommendations for their pet, and the client agrees to follow them. Once this agreement is made, the veterinarian can then prescribe treatments based on ‘recent and sufficient knowledge’ of the pet. Usually, this means a physical examination prior to dispensing medications or in the case of chronic conditions, refilling medications until the condition type requires a repeat examination or diagnostics to keep up with appropriate care. Each veterinarian or clinic might have slightly different definitions of appropriate care or how soon a patient needs to be seen based on a whole variety of factors. At Mount Remo Vet, we need to have seen your pet in the last 18 months to refill medications like dewormer, flea/tick preventatives, or allergy meds. More complex cases or at-risk patients may need an exam as frequent as every 4-6 months so that we are not failing to provide appropriate treatment (and compromising our professional obligation).

This is a big responsibility to take on. Sometimes, just squeezing in a new pet results in the clinic having to provide repeat examinations or treatments every 1-2 weeks until the condition is stable and then every 4-6 months. Never mind all the follow-up, research, and figuring out how to order new medications so they can appropriately treat your pet.

This can be scary for a team that is already working as fast and hard as they can or is on the brink of burnout.

So we ask the question again, what does it mean to be a client at a veterinary clinic?

For most clinics, it means that we have seen the client regularly (at least once a year) or have seen that specific pet in the last 2, usually max 3, years. It allows us to have relatively recent knowledge of your pet’s general health to know what we are agreeing to when we see them for a concern.

In Terrace, we do not have a 24/7 emergency clinic. Our hospitals are general practice clinics that are predominantly focused on preventative care and schedulable interventions. If there is an emergency, we shift around our schedules to accommodate it because we are too far away from true emergency clinics for referral to be an option. That is part of our side of a VCPR. But we are not staffed with enough people or equipped with the training and equipment to juggle our regular case load AND accommodate large number of unpredictable emergencies on a regular basis. So sometimes we must refuse to see a pet that really should be seen – partly because we simply don’t have space, partly because we have no idea what we are committing to when it has been years since we have seen this pet (if ever), and partly because we need to protect our sanity. When every day is chaos and our team cannot uphold what we committed to in other VCPRs, that is when burnout sets in, people quit, or patient care deteriorates.

So, if we add you as a client, we need to see your pet for an examination, document what their current conditions are, and make an agreement about the level and style of care that we, clinic and client, can provide together. If we don’t see your pet for another few years (the equivalent aging of 15-20 years for a human), we cannot continue to commit to see them in case of an emergency. Perhaps we can see them, if the schedule allows, but we might have to say no (for the above reasons).

A Veterinary-Client-Patient-RELATIONSHIP is like any other relationship – its takes effort on both sides to maintain.

We are so excited that we have the staffing and capability to help more people help their pets!

We hope you are all out enjoying the sun and not inside on social media like we are ;)

However, a few people have stopped by asking about summer closures - we are very happy to announce that WE WILL NOT BE CLOSED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME THIS SUMMER SEASON.

We are well staffed and able to shift and cover each other's vacation time. Occasionally these shifts will affect our hours slightly - see the below announcement for slightly shorter hours in August.
