Sunshine, Community, and a Veterinary Practice Ready for Its Next Owner — Saskatoon, Canada

What if your next move combined practice ownership with a better quality of life, a supportive community, and the excitement of building on the foundations of a much-loved veterinary clinic?

After 30 years of caring for pets and building trusted relationships within the community, the current owner is preparing for retirement, creating an exciting opening for someone new to step in and take this thriving clinic to its next level.

They are looking for offers around $700k.

Currently operating at the equivalent of 1.5 veterinarians, the clinic is actively limiting new clients to just 15 per month, while turning away approximately the same number due to demand.

A nearby veterinary clinic has recently closed, leaving many local pet owners searching for a new trusted practice. There is also additional growth opportunity as the building next door is currently up for lease, formerly occupied by a pharmacy and doctor’s office, offering exciting expansion possibilities for the future owner.

One of Canada’s sunniest cities, Saskatoon perfectly blends vibrant city living with easy access to nature and outdoor adventure.

Whether you are an ambitious veterinarian looking for ownership, a family seeking a better lifestyle, or a group wanting to expand into a growing market, this opportunity offers the perfect mix of stability, heart, and future potential.

Senior Dairy Veterinarian
Great Farmers. Great Team. Great Lifestyle.
Ashburton, New Zealand

Our client is looking for an experienced Dairy Veterinarian to lead their large animal team as they move into an exciting new chapter.

They’re a team of seven veterinarians, supported by four fantastic large animal technicians who keep everything moving during the busy seasons.

Their clients range from large progressive dairy farms to sheep, beef, deer on high-country stations, so no two weeks are ever quite the same.

Being part of the Farmfirst & Petfirst community means you’ll also have the backing of a New Zealand-owned veterinary group that invests heavily in technology, education and innovation. From AI-assisted clinical notes to their own Animal Health Planning software, they’re always looking for ways to spend less time on paperwork and more time helping farmers.

They believe work should be somewhere you can enjoy yourself, grow your skills and make a genuine difference, for your clients, your colleagues and yourself.

What’s in it for you
$150,000-$180,000 salary plus 3.5% KiwiSaver.
$10,000 sign-on bonus and $5,000 relocation support.
Profit share and on-call remuneration.
Company vehicle.
Four weeks annual leave, birthday leave and long service leave.
Gym membership and season ski pass for your first year.
A supportive team that likes working together (and having a laugh while they do it)

Why Ashburton?
People often move here for the job and end up staying for the lifestyle.
One weekend you can be skiing. The next you're fishing, hiking in the back country or heading into Christchurch for dinner before being home the same evening.
The commute is measured in minutes, and houses are still affordable. The coffee's good. The farming community is welcoming, and veterinarians are genuinely respected for the work they do.
