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!
