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?

Allied Veterinary Emergency Hospital is looking for a veterinarian to join our 24-hour, full-service, multi-doctor team in Tallahassee, Florida! We’re excited to connect with veterinarians interested in swing-shift emergency medicine, urgent care, or a combination of both.

We understand that one schedule doesn’t fit everyone. Whether you’re looking for consistent swing shifts, a daytime urgent care schedule, or a combination that aligns with your lifestyle and professional goals, we’re open to discussing flexible options based on your interests and the hospital’s needs.

Why You’ll Love It Here

Flexible scheduling – Explore swing shifts, daytime hours, urgent care, or a combination of scheduling options.

A variety of cases – See a diverse caseload ranging from urgent, non-life-threatening conditions to complex emergency presentations.

A collaborative, multi-doctor team – Work alongside experienced veterinarians, talented technicians, and dedicated support staff.

No on-call, ever.

What Your Day Could Look Like

As part of our emergency team, you’ll have the opportunity to evaluate and treat a wide range of patients. Depending on your interests and the role we build together, your focus may include urgent care appointments, same-day sick visits, emergency cases, and more complex medical or surgical presentations.

Swing-shift veterinarians help bridge the gap between daytime appointments and overnight emergency care, while urgent care offers an opportunity to focus on patients who need timely medical attention. We’re happy to discuss which setting best matches your clinical interests, experience, and career goals.
