Our specialisations

Small animals

Dogs and cats receive comprehensive, holistic medical care at all our locations. By combining our professionals’ expertise with modern medical facilities, we offer a broad range of services: from general examinations and internal medicine to surgery, diagnostic imaging and dentistry, as well as age-related and specialist treatments.

Exotic animals, birds and small pets

Our small animal practice in central Winterthur is our centre of expertise for the veterinary care of exotic animals, birds and small pets. Animals receive individual medical care tailored to their needs. Their families also receive expert advice on housing, nutrition and other species-specific needs.

Large animals

Our veterinarians and veterinary practice assistants at the Klettgau Centre for Veterinary Medicine and Clinica Alpina in Celerina and Scuol regularly visit nearby farms to care for large animals on site. Our spacious facilities also enable us to provide both outpatient and inpatient care. The expertise and dedicated commitment of our specialists ensure comprehensive and seamless care for the animals.

For students and graduates

Are you a senior veterinary student or have you recently graduated? At VetTrust, you’ll find a wide range of opportunities to start your career.

Internships

We offer SVK-accredited internships lasting 12 to 15 months. These take place at Tierklinik Basel and Tierklinik Zürich Ost and provide structured, practical training in a clinical environment. Participants gain insight into different areas of small animal medicine and benefit from interdisciplinary exchange and guidance from experienced veterinarians.

FVH training positions

If you are interested and a suitable match, we would be pleased to offer you an FVH training position after completing your internship with us, subject to availability.

VetTrust Rotation Program

Through the VetTrust Rotation Program, we offer veterinary medicine graduates—whether newly qualified or returning to the field after an extended break—a structured program consisting of several rotations. The goal is to systematically build or refresh practical veterinary skills.

For experienced professionals

Are you a veterinarian with several years of professional experience? At VetTrust, you can contribute your expertise, take on responsibility and pursue your professional development. You care for your patients independently, make diagnoses and develop individual treatment plans. In doing so, you work closely with your team and our specialists.

For leaders

Would you like to practise veterinary medicine while also taking on responsibility for people and clinical leadership? As a lead veterinarian at VetTrust, you take responsibility for your location and actively shape its clinical and organisational development. You lead and support your team and serve as a key contact for employees and other internal teams.

Your benefits

We offer our employees a wide range of benefits, from flexible working arrangements and individual opportunities to develop skills and careers to health-promoting initiatives. This creates the best possible conditions for lasting satisfaction while supporting our employees’ mental and physical health and long-term wellbeing.
