Our Team
Cypress View Veterinary Clinic is proud to be a place where team members can do their best work in a supportive, well-run environment. Although people may call us a unicorn clinic, we do not claim that label for ourselves. We recognize that it reflects an individual’s personal experience and opinion. What we can say with confidence, is that we intentionally strive every day to operate with the consistency, respect, and high standards that people associate with exceptional veterinary workplaces: clear communication, strong teamwork, sustainable workflows, and a commitment to learning and continuous growth.
Unicorn Vet Clinic, What's That?
In employment contexts, a “unicorn vet clinic” is informal vet-industry slang for a rare, exceptionally good workplace. the kind of practice people think should exist, talk about wanting to find, but don’t encounter often. It is a shorthand for “this clinic is unusually well-run and a great place to work.”
Common themes include:
- Healthy culture and leadership: respectful communication, low gossip, clear expectations, psychologically safe environment.
- Sustainable workload: staffing levels and scheduling that reduce chronic burnout (realistic appointment lengths, protected breaks, manageable caseloads).
- Fair compensation and growth: competitive pay, regular raises, benefits, training/CE support, mentoring, and real career paths.
- Strong team functioning: clear roles, good onboarding, reliable processes. People can do quality medicine without constant chaos.

Veterinarian
Our veterinarians are encouraged to grow and develop their skills in the areas that they are interested in. Our clinic offers many tools to aid you in your work here. We have digital x-ray, digital dental x-ray, ultrasound, full in-clinic Idexx laboratory equipment, endoscopy, monopolar and bipolar cautery, orthopedic surgical equipment, underwater treadmill, therapeutic lasers, and the list goes on. At our clinic we offer progressive teamwork, meaning our doctors to do what they are required to do and are assisted by knowledgeable technologists and assistants that will help with the rest. Mentorship and support are available from senior veterinarians to help you feel supported. Medicine Hat is unique in that we don’t have an emergency clinic within the city. Each vet clinic provides it’s own urgent and emergency care, unless it is referred out, meaning that everyday is new and exciting. From puppy and kitty exams to complex medical cases, we believe our vets can have a fulfilling career with us. New grads and vet students are encouraged to apply!
Registered Veterinary Technologist
Just holding cats and dogs for exams… NO WAY! Our technologists are encouraged to work to their fullest potential and find their passion! We have many flourishing departments for our technologists and endless possibilities to pursue your interests in small animal veterinary care. Our surgery department sees many surgeries including elective, soft tissue, orthopedic, exploratory, emergency and corrective. Our dental department boasts a fully equipped dental suite including a brand new digital x-ray machine. Our medical department is a bit of a catch all for sedated procedures, IV fluid therapy, hospitalized patient care, transfusion medicine, bloodwork and other lab work, and so much more. We also have an ever growing rehab department. Under the leadership of a certified veterinarian you can help pets feel better with our underwater treadmill, therapeutic lasers, stretching and range of motion exercises. On top of all that, we have recently grown to include a tech-led appointment department, exotics department, palliative care department, nutrition department, diabetes management department and an at home services department.
We believe in positive team work and mentorship here. Whether you are a seasoned tech, fresh out of school, or needing a practicum site, we hope that you will consider us!
Customer Care Specialist
Our customer care specialists are considered to be the front line of our team! They are the face our clients are greeted by and the voice on our phones. They are individuals that are selling clients food, giving treats to our canine patients, and making the hardest days of owning pets as pain-free as possible. They are superheroes, or at least we think so. If customer care and the love of pets interest you, this could be the career for you!
Duties include booking appointments, receiving payments, data entry, account maintenance, customer care, working with our app, and much more!
Veterinary Technologist Assistant
Our veterinary technology assistants are an integral part of our team! In recent years we have found vet tech assistants to be an incredibly valuable addition to our veterinary care team. They assist in every department and work along side our veterinarians, veterinary technologists, and customer care specialists. Just as our vet techs are enabled to do all they can do, so are our vet tech assistants. Some tasks that our vet tech assistants perform are assisting in patient examinations, surgical suite and patient preparation, surgical supply sterilization, hospitalized patient care, rehab patient handling and care, etc. Experience and formal education vary for this position. In Alberta, this position can be filled by someone with no experience or formal education and would allow for on-the-job training. An individual that has pursued formal education in a veterinary assistant, or vet tech assistant program would be a great fit as well!
