Does living in a community where your cost of living is low and number of friends is high appeal to you? Would you like to experience firsthand how a full suite of rehabilitation equipment can improve patient outcomes? These are a just a few of the things you will enjoy at Pekin Veterinary Clinic in Pekin, IL, just outside of Peoria.

We offer a great compensation package, including a competitive salary, generous signing bonus, full sponsorship for rehabilitation certification, additional surgical continuing education reimbursement, health insurance, 401K, PTO, generous CE allowance, additional PTO for CE, and reimbursement for membership and license fees.
