Tech-driven clinic that actively encourages training and education. You’ll run your own rooms, see patients, and help train other staff — not just assist.

About our practice:
Dixieland Veterinary Services is an established and growing small-animal practice in the rural Florida panhandle. Founded in 2007 by an Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine graduate and currently owned by another Auburn alum, we pride ourselves on great customer service and the best medical care we can provide.
Our team handles soft-tissue, spay/neuter, dental, and emergency surgeries, supported by Idexx in-house lab equipment, Idexx reference lab services, digital radiology with consultations on every set taken, in-house ultrasound, and cold therapy laser. Though we’re rural, we’re only an hour from Panama City Beach, FL, Dothan, AL, and Enterprise, AL.
Why you should join our group:
Our team works well together and the overall tone is upbeat. We’re a tech and assistant-driven clinic that invests in our people — one of our assistants has already started tech school. We plan to bring on another doctor in the next two years to expand into mixed-animal medicine, and the area itself is growing as more people move to the panhandle. There is real room to grow here, both for the practice and for the right teammate.
Our Location: 903 N. Oklahoma St., Bonifay, FL 32425
Your schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
