About Pine Plains Veterinary Hospital  

Pine Plains Veterinary Associates was founded by Dr. Edward Sadler, who opened the practice on Farview Avenue in Pine Plains in 1932. His patients were primarily farm animals, but Dr. Sadler also treated pets in a small clinic. As the reputation of Pine Plains Veterinary Associates continued to grow, so did the clinic itself. Additions were made to the building in 1971 and 1981. A major renovation of the building was completed in 1994, which marked a change from a predominately farm animal practice to a companion animal-oriented practice.

Our more recent improvements include the addition of digital radiographic equipment, in house Lab equipment, advanced surgical monitoring system, and much more. Today, our clients and patients are served in a modern hospital facility with experienced veterinarians, licensed veterinary technicians, and enthusiastic, courteous staff to help all animals.

The Dr. team has decades of experience to share and help new grads grow after graduation, but we are also open as lifelong learners to hear of new developments and information from younger veterinarians to maintain our high quality of care.  Pine Plains Veterinary has served this area literally for generations of locals but has several clients from the NYC metropolitan area in the recent decade.

Where we are in a beautiful, rural location, our proximity to Metro North railroad and commuter parkways makes NYC very easy to visit.  This unique location offers the best of both country and the city venues/ attractions.

We have a great team and truly love what we do! We’re excited to continue to grow our practice to ensure our community has all the care they need for their best furry friends. We’d love to show you our hospital and what makes us a special place to work!

Requirements:

• New York State Veterinary Board License - must be in good standing, prior to start date
• Flexible work schedule, with availability to work some weekends and holidays (as necessary, per hospital)
• DVM or VMD level degree required

About Pine Plains Veterinary Associates

Pine Plains Veterinary Associates has been proudly serving the community since 1932, when Dr. Edward Sadler founded the practice on Farview Avenue in Pine Plains. Originally focused on farm animals, the clinic steadily grew in size and reputation, later expanding its services to include companion animals. The facility underwent major additions, followed by a full renovation in 1994 that marked its transformation into a modern, small animal-focused practice.

Over the years, we’ve continued to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our patients and clients. Our hospital now features digital radiography, in-house laboratory equipment, an advanced surgical monitoring system, and other modern tools that support the highest standards of care.

Our experienced team of veterinarians, licensed technicians, and dedicated support staff work together to provide exceptional medical care and a warm, community-focused environment. The doctor team brings decades of experience and is passionate about mentoring new graduates while staying open to fresh ideas and new developments in veterinary medicine. This mutual exchange keeps our practice progressive and our quality of care strong.

We proudly serve generations of local families, along with many clients who reside in New York City but enjoy their weekends and second homes here in the Hudson Valley—choosing to entrust their pets to us for consistent, high-quality care.

We truly love what we do and take pride in being an essential part of our community. As our practice continues to grow, we look forward to welcoming a new team member who shares our passion for providing outstanding care and building lasting relationships with pets and their people.

We are dedicated to establishing a culture that celebrates all forms of diversity and allows us to be an inclusive service provider in this community.
