Job description

The Animal Emergency Clinic is searching for experienced full or part-time Emergency Veterinarians to join our newly renovated, well-equipped, established hospitals in Crestwood, MO and O'Fallon, MO, just outside St. Louis. Experienced DVMs interested in leadership roles are encouraged to ask about our Medical Director opportunity at the O'Fallon location!

Our highly qualified team delivers compassionate, comprehensive emergency care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our extremely talented and dedicated support staff allows for an average DVM to tech ratio of approx 1:3, and most of our support staff have decades of experience, allowing you to focus on your role as a doctor and trust that your patients will be expertly cared for in-clinic.

We are able to focus solely on emergency medicine as we do not offer primary care. With an in-house laboratory, digital radiology, ultrasound, fully equipped surgery suites, and an on-call radiologist, we can provide efficient treatment for any type of emergency. Our management team is always open to equipment updates and purchases to ensure our team can offer gold-standard care to our patient population.

What can we offer experienced emergency veterinarians?

• Guaranteed minimum base salary of $150k/yr at Crestwood and $120k/yr+ DOE at O'Fallon with pro-sal options negotiable and a typical full-time earning potential of $175-200k/yr
• Full-Time benefits starting at 10 shifts per 4 weeks
• Negotiable CE allowance and/or license and dues reimbursements for part-time candidates working a minimum of 4 shifts per month
• Higher base salaries available for commitment of 12+ shifts per 4 weeks
• Higher base salaries or shift differentials for DVMs interested in working overnight shifts
• Generous signing and retention bonuses
• Minimum of $10k in relocation assistance for all full-time candidates, or travel allowances for any non-local candidates

What can we offer new graduates?

• Both locations offer the opportunity to participate in our structured, 3 month salaried ER focused R.I.S.E. mentorship program, with the option to stay on as an ER Associate Veterinarian anywhere in the PetVet network after completion!
