Associate ER Veterinarian - Small Animal

PETS Hospital • Full-time • Santa Maria, California, United States • USD $195k / year • 2m ago

About Us

Located just south of San Luis Obispo, California, PETS Hospital was founded by two vet school classmates with the primary mission of delivering an exceptional customer experience. They were frustrated with emergency and specialty hospitals that don't take care of their customers and rDVMS, so they decided to do things differently. Our goal was to create a “warm and fuzzy” ER that doesn't feel like a typical emergency room. The experience starts with freshly baked cookies and coffee in the lobby, TV's with Netflix in every room, a cool and calm color scheme, and a staff that was hired based on personality and love for the job.

We have created a culture where our core values are always first priority: We are Respectful, we offer Exceptional Customer Experience, we Raise the Bar, we have Integrity, and we Don’t Panic!

We have been so inundated with demand that we are now looking to add an experienced Emergency/Urgent Care Veterinarian to our team. This is a wonderful opportunity to:

Live and work in a place where most people go for vacation
Work with a highly skilled staff that is compassionate, motivated, and collaborative
Competitive base salary paired with the most generous production bonuses in our area.
Opportunity to work with an awesome bunch of rDVMS
Work/Life balance matter to you? It does to us!
Enjoy great benefits, including 401k, health insurance, CE stipend, PTO, and more!
We care about your mental and physical health so we now offer a Wellness Plan stipend!
Always local and independent, NOT CORPORATE!
