Job Description:
Job Description Company Description We suggest you enter details
here. Are you an emergency veterinarian with several years of
experience in the emergency room, but feeling burnt out by long
hours, overnight shifts, and stressed-out pet owners? Urgent Pet is
for you! We are a new concept in veterinary hospitals in the Bay
Area, entirely dedicated to urgent veterinary care. We realized
that 90% of patients in the ER are not true emergencies. When these
cases are triaged, it means a long wait for the pets and their
owners, who become increasingly anxious and upset. We designed
Urgent Pet to provide an alternative: same-day appointments for
urgent care cases, offering the highest standard of medical care,
with minimal wait times. As a veterinarian at Urgent Pet, you can
have it all - The same breadth of cases you would see in any
emergency room - The latest diagnostic equipment, and the use of
smart pricing to ensure the best diagnostic and treatment plans are
followed - Daytime shifts and swing shifts - A calm and positive
working environment, because most patients are seen within minutes
of their appointments - Fear-free concepts built in throughout the
hospital - Low staff turnover because our staff love their jobs - A
high salary competitive with the busiest emergency hospitals,
including full health and retirement benefits - A doctor-owned
company independent of any major corporation we are always open to
new ideas - A fantastic location in the East Bay with easy parking
on site, a fitness center, multiple retail stores close by, in the
charming city of El Cerrito, and close to the cities of Berkeley,
Oakland, and San Francisco. There's a reason everyone wants to live
in Northern California - we have the sunshine, natural beauty,
people, culture, wineries, beaches, and skiing, all minutes to
hours away. We are now expanding our operation and have full-time,
part-time, and relief positions for experienced emergency
veterinarians. Please join us as we develop a new model of
veterinary care in the Bay Area! Qualifications Medical and
