Who We Are
Emergency Veterinarian – Swing Shift & Urgent Care
Allied Veterinary Emergency Hospital | Tallahassee, FL
Do you enjoy the variety of emergency medicine but prefer a schedule that bridges the gap between daytime and overnight shifts? Or are you passionate about urgent care and helping pets get the treatment they need without an emergency room visit whenever possible?
