merci Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi everyone, I've tried scouring the internet for this information but it seems difficult to find... I am interested in a career change to practice farm animal vet med (cows, horses, etc) or mixed practice but I want to get a sense of the salary expectations. I currently have a good career with great work/life balance... but its office based and I don't know if I see myself working like this forever. I would ideally be based in the Fraser Valley, Okanagan, or Vancouver Island. As well, does anyone have any tips for gaining volunteer/shadowing experience in this area? Thanks!

JohnGrisham Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 You would be working independently as a small business owner, there would be no "salary" as far as I am aware. Are you currently a small-animal vet in a clinic? i would assume most who are able to make an OK living in this industry, have a strong connection to the community already and connections. Or willing to invest a lot of time to get connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merci Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I've seen a number of clinics in BC that are mixed or food animal that appear to hire vets on salary (ie AgWest in Abbotsford). I currently don't work in vet med at all -- any idea of expected income would be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
