Are You Ready to Practice Emergency Medicine at the Highest Level?

I’m thrilled to share an exceptional opportunity for an Emergency Veterinarian to join a forward-thinking, fast-paced ER team in a highly accessible, vibrant location in the US. If you love the adrenaline, purpose, and impact of emergency work—and want to be part of a culture that truly invests in its people—this role stands out from anything else in the market.

This hospital has become known for its people-first, growth-oriented culture, where clinicians are supported, empowered, and encouraged to thrive. The environment is dynamic, collaborative, and built around the belief that great emergency care starts with a team that feels valued, respected, and inspired. Every day brings something new, and every shift gives you the chance to make a real difference in the lives of animals and their families.

If you’re someone who lives and breathes emergency medicine, thrives under pressure, and truly enjoys helping people through their most stressful moments, you will feel right at home here. A positive outlook, a strong team mindset, and a genuine love for ER work are key.

What You’ll Need:

  • DVM degree (or equivalent)

  • A passion for emergency medicine and urgent care cases

  • Strong communication skills and a natural ability to connect with clients

  • A collaborative, upbeat approach to teamwork

  • Interest and confidence in soft-tissue emergency surgery

What’s on Offer:

  • Exceptional compensation, including base salary, production bonuses, and sign-on incentives

  • Highly competitive pay—expected base range $180,000–$200,000, with overall potential up to $350,000

  • 401(k) with employer match

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits

  • Paid parental leave at full salary

  • Unlimited CE plus annual travel funding

  • Relocation support when needed

  • A purpose-built, modern ER facility with the latest equipment and technology

  • A culture that celebrates teamwork, inclusion, shared success, and continued growth

  • Outstanding pet-care discounts

  • Regular team events, retreats, and a workplace environment designed to keep staff supported and energised
