Location
Crosslake is a charming up north town, nuzzled against the shoreline of the Whitefish Chain of Lakes. Our community is a mixture of year-round and seasonal inhabitants that range from young families to retirees. Each year our work family grows as we add more who love what Crosslake has to offer: gorgeous sunsets on the lake, get-togethers around the bonfire, fishing opportunities galore, wooded trails with your four-legged friends, and the sun glistening off the snow-covered Norway pines.
Practice Overview
Crosslake Veterinary Hospital is a companion animal clinic in the Brainerd Lakes Area. We pride ourselves on quality, evidence-based care that begins with establishing client relationships and focusing on educating our pet owners and practicing preventative medicine. We are currently undergoing an expansion and renovation and need additional staff members to fill the team. We are looking for a technician who thrives in a fast-paced environment, encourages a team-based approach to the day, and likes variety! We are a busy practice, continually growing and adding new positions every year. Technology and full-service medicine is important to us, allowing us to provide a wide range of services for the pets we serve. Daily, we utilize our in-house IDEXX labwork, full body digital radiology, digital dental radiology, and our ultrasound to perform abdominal scans, emergency assessments and baseline echocardiograms. Full anesthesia monitoring is utilized for our surgeries and medical procedures, allowing us to be proactive in preventing complications and evaluating our pets with cardiac concerns. We are capable of overnight hospitalized care, and strive on a daily basis to manage all aspects of our patients’ needs to provide a level of convenience that may just make a client’s day a little easier. We host monthly meetings to help us all communicate effectively and develop new ideas as a team to continually advance. If you are searching for a place that values teamwork, collaboration, and communication, then we might be the place for you!
