Urgent Care Veterinarian

PawDoc Surgery + Dental is expanding to meet the needs of our communities, providing emergency-level medicine in an urgent care setting at a pace and schedule designed to support both exceptional patient care and the well-being of our team.

This role is ideal for:

• Emergency veterinarians ready to step away from the intensity of overnight or high-acuity ER shifts.


• Experienced general practitioners eager to broaden their scope in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.


• Newer veterinarians seeking hands-on experience outside of general practice, with growth opportunities in a supportive culture.

At PawDoc, we’re building high-functioning teams to create a sustainable, well-run hospital. Our leadership is committed to an employee-first culture where every voice is valued. With guidance from a strong network of local specialists, our teams are equipped to deliver outstanding urgent care without sacrificing balance

We’re looking for a team of kind, capable professionals who show up for each other and our clients. Collaboration replaces hierarchy, mentorship comes without micromanagement, and every team member matters.

What We’re Looking For

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)


• Interest in urgent care, emergency medicine, or building clinical confidence


• Strong diagnostic skills with an adaptable, thoughtful approach to patient care


• Excellent communication with clients and support staff


• Availability for evening and weekend shifts

Our compensation package includes starting base salary of $140,000, along with sign-on and relocation bonuses available. We offer a great benefits package including, but not limited to: health insurance (vision, medical, dental, health savings/flexible spending), life and disability insurance, 401K with company contribution, PTO, generous CE allowance with additional PTO allotted, reimbursement for membership dues and license fees, and more.
