Overview

Plaza Pet Clinic is a growing, increasingly fast-paced mixed animal veterinary clinic (we even see wildlife!) in Winchester, VA. We opened in 1989 as a satellite vaccine clinic to our sister clinic, Roseville Veterinary Clinic, in Boyce, VA. Over the years, Plaza Pet Clinic has grown to become a busy, full-service small animal general practice focusing on wellness/preventive care. We offer surgery, dentistry, and digital radiography, as well as ultrasound. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional care and service to our patients and clients.

Our team is comprised of friendly, smiling faces who are compassionate, dedicated, and positive. We really know how to make work seem like fun. If you are looking for a rewarding general practice opportunity where care and compassion come first, Plaza Pet Clinic may be the right place for you!
