It’s hard to get a feel for the real ethos of a veterinary hospital from a website. Anyone who spends time in our facility quickly learns that we take our medicine and our comedy seriously. People who come to OSVS want to work hard in an environment where they are constantly challenged and are surrounded by others who want to continually learn, continually get better, and go home feeling like they truly made a difference.
This is a family, where we all share a sense of belonging, a shared mission in offering truly exceptional care to the animals who need it most. If you feel this is where you belong, please get in touch now.

At OSVS, we understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance, and having tenured employees is very important to us. Full time employees are granted two weeks of vacation during their first 5 years of employment. Employees can start using vacation time 90 days after being hired. Once an employee has been with OSVS for five years, they are granted a third week of vacation. After ten years, a fourth week will be earned. Paid time off is also granted for part time employees, although it is accrued at a different rate. OSVS also offers paid sick time and holiday pay.
