Are you looking for a practice where you can grow, thrive, and truly enjoy work-life balance? At Animal Care Center in Fernley, NV, we offer what so many practices promise but few deliver:

  • 4-day work week
  • No nights, weekends, or on-call
  • Ownership/partnership opportunities for the right candidate

About Us

Animal Care Center is a growing small-animal practice in a friendly semi-rural community just 30 minutes from Reno and an hour from Lake Tahoe. Our experienced team allows doctors to practice medicine without chaos — and our clients trust us as their pets’ lifelong healthcare partners.

We are a newly remodeled, modernized facility with updated floors, fixtures, furniture, equipment, and technology.

Tools and Technology

  • Paperless records – technicians use iPads in rooms; doctors use iPads or tablets with Scribenote for SOAP notes
  • Pulse PMS for efficient scheduling and client communication
  • Full in-house lab and diagnostic capability
  • Class IV therapeutic laser and laser scalpel for surgery
  • Portable dental radiography for high-quality dentistry
  • Preventive Health Care Plans with better-than-average client compliance

Unlike many practices, we don’t double-book appointments. Our doctors spend quality time with each patient, building strong client relationships.

Our Culture

We’re proud of our collaborative, supportive team environment. Some things that make us unique:

  • Weekly staff development lunch meetings with food provided
  • Daily huddles to keep everyone aligned and supported
  • Active community outreach and fun events that connect us with our clients
  • A strong focus on mentorship and continuing education, led by Dr. Laura Remsen, DVM, PhD

What We Offer

  • True work-life balance – 4-day work week, no nights, weekends, or on-call
  • Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience; ownership track available)
  • Employer contribution toward medical insurance premiums, with access to an advisor to help find the right plan
  • Simple retirement plan with 3% employer match
  • Generous CE allowance plus licensing and professional dues
  • Staff pet care discounts
  • A positive, tech-forward practice culture where your input matters

The Future – Ownership Track

Dr. Remsen is committed to finding the right veterinarian to continue building on the legacy of high-quality medicine and compassionate client care at Animal Care Center. For the right candidate, ownership or partnership opportunities are available as part of a long-term compensation plan. This is a rare chance to step into a thriving, modernized clinic with an established client base and a clear path toward practice ownership.

About Fernley

  • Affordable small-town living with a welcoming community of about 20,000
  • Easy access to Reno’s amenities and the outdoor recreation of Lake Tahoe, Pyramid Lake, and the Sierra Nevada
  • Just 15 minutes from USA Parkway, home to Tesla, Panasonic, and several other major employers — providing career opportunities for families and driving the region’s rapid growth and development
  • A relaxed, family-friendly environment perfect for building a career and life outside the hustle of the city
