The Oak Veterinary Group have an exciting opportunity for a compassionate, small animal, Veterinary Surgeon to join their practice, where teamwork and excellence in clinical care are high on the agenda.

About Us

Located in Pembrokeshire we are surrounded by stunning beaches and countryside, we are a rural practice that prides itself on a first-class small animal service, practising excellent medicine with great clients. We are kitted out with digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy and on-site IDEXX laboratory equipment allowing us to run most blood tests in-house. We do a lot of our surgeries including orthopaedics, TECAs, and wound reconstruction. We also have an aquatic treadmill in our branch surgery and a dedicated hydrotherapy/physiotherapy team.

We also like to support the local agricultural shows and maintain a presence within the local community as well as supporting the charitable work by IVC.
