• Emergency care: You receive, stabilize, and treat emergency patients (both primary and secondary care).

• Admission care: You monitor and treat patients during their admission to our intensive care unit.

• Collaboration: You work intensively with internal specialists and maintain short lines of communication with referrers and pet owners. Every morning there is a multidisciplinary consultation where patients are discussed.

Do you have a passion for animal care and want to work in an environment where quality and collaboration are central? Then you are in the right place at AniCura! Our location in Rijswijk is the premier specialist referral center in Southwest Netherlands. We offer 24/7 care and work together with a team of experts to achieve the best results for our patients. Our facilities are state-of-the-art, including CT, MRI, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and an advanced ICU department. As part of AniCura, you will gain access to extensive knowledge sharing with veterinary specialists in various fields such as cardiology, neurology, surgery, imaging, dermatology, and internal medicine.

A particularly beautiful development is that our location in Rijswijk has been officially recognized by the European College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ECVECC) as a training location for a residency in Emergency and Critical Care (ECC). With this, we are taking an important step in the further development of specialist emergency and intensive care in the Netherlands.
