Job description

As we continue to grow, we are seeking an experienced Urgent Care Veterinarian to join our team in either a full-time or part-time capacity.

This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a hospital’s legacy from the ground up. You won’t just fill a role—you’ll help set the pace, shape the culture, and influence how our care is delivered for years to come.

Our urgent care model bridges the gap between general practice and emergency. We’re here for pets who can’t wait for a regular appointment, but don’t need full ER hospitalization.

That means interesting cases, steady variety, and no overnights!

You’ll work alongside a leadership team deeply committed to collaboration, mentorship, and joy in our work. At Livewell, we believe a happy, cohesive team delivers the best medicine.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Be part of the hospital’s story as a part of the inaugural team
• Influence our culture, workflows, and client experience
• Enjoy a varied caseload without overnight shifts
• Practice with full medical autonomy and strong peer support
• Join a leadership team that puts people first

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like

• Build Lasting Relationships: Connect with clients and their pets, becoming their trusted partner in a pet's lifelong health.
• Practice Your Best Medicine: From diagnosis to treatment, you'll lead patient care with the freedom to uphold the highest standards.
• Educate and Empower: Clearly communicate findings and treatment plans, empowering clients to make informed decisions.
• Collaborate and Grow: Work alongside a supportive paraprofessional team, contributing to a positive hospital culture.

Who We're Looking For

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree.
• A valid state license and in good standing to practice.
• A collaborative spirit and a dedication to practicing the highest standard of medicine.
• Excellent communication skills with a positive, friendly attitude.

How You're Supported

As part of the Mission Pet Health family, you get the autonomy of a local practice backed by the comprehensive benefits and resources of a larger network. The focus is on investing in you, so you can focus on what you love.

Generous Compensation

Competitive base salary and a monthly production bonus with no negative accrual.

Total Wellbeing

Comprehensive coverage including Health, Dental, Vision, and more, plus Maternity Leave and 24/7 TeleDoc access.

Financial Health

Plan for your future with a 401k featuring a generous company match, plus Long & Short-Term Disability insurance for peace of mind.

Commitment to Growth

Receive a yearly CE allowance with dedicated paid days off. Grow with leadership tracks and structured mentorship.

The Power of a Network

Tap into a nationwide community of over 20,000 veterinary professionals for collaboration and to explore your unique interests.

Peace of Mind
