Job Description

Love emergency medicine but tired of overnights and holiday shifts?

Imagine finishing your workday and heading to the lake, meeting friends on Granbury's historic square, or enjoying the slower pace of small-town living without giving up access to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

At The Pet Hospital of Granbury, we've been caring for pets and the people who love them for more than 20 years. We're looking for a veterinarian who enjoys the variety of both general practice and urgent care medicine. The role includes weekday GP and urgent care appointments, with dedicated urgent care coverage every Saturday.

If you enjoy building client relationships, practicing high-quality medicine, and having enough variety in your day to keep things interesting, we'd love to meet you.

Busy Practice. Engaged Clients - As an established hospital with loyal client base and growing demand, you'll step into a busy schedule and a practice that continues to thrive year after year.
