Veterinarian - Columbus (Grove City), OH

Vet-Owned. People-First.

At AcutePet Urgent Care, we’re reimagining urgent care for pets - and it starts with veterinarians who are ready to do meaningful work without sacrificing balance. We are expanding our operations to include the greater Columbus metropolitan area in Grove City, OH -  opening late Spring 2026 to meet the growing needs of the community. At AcutePet, we provide emergency-level care in an urgent care setting, with a pace and schedule designed to support both exceptional medicine and the well-being of the people delivering it.

This is an excellent opportunity for emergency veterinarians seeking a shift from the intensity of overnight or high-acuity ER shifts, or for experienced general practitioners looking to expand their scope in a dynamic, team-driven environment. It’s also a great fit for newer veterinarians exploring a path outside of general practice, offering hands-on experience, meaningful mentorship, and a culture that encourages growth without overwhelm.

Whether you're seeking more autonomy, mentorship, or simply a new way to practice great medicine, you'll find your place here.

Founded by experienced DVMs, AcutePet is led by veterinary professionals who understand what it takes to support high-functioning teams and create sustainable, well-run hospitals. Our leadership is committed to building an employee-centric culture where teams are supported, empowered, and heard, no matter their role. With guidance from our Chief Medical Officer, a board-certified criticalist, and a network of Managing Veterinarians and Practice Managers, we equip our teams to deliver exceptional, emergency-level care in an urgent care setting, with the confidence that comes from trusted leadership.
