Job Description

Vet-Owned. People-First.

You want meaningful cases, a team you trust, and time for life outside of medicine. Your next role should make room for all three.

At AcutePet Urgent Care in West Chester, you’ll practice emergency-level care in an urgent care setting—with clinical autonomy, collaborative support, and opportunities to grow.

Since opening in July 2024, our team has earned the trust of pet families and local veterinarians. As community demand grows, we’re adding doctors to a hospital with a strong clinical culture and established local relationships.

What You Can Expect

Meaningful medicine: Varied urgent care cases, strong diagnostics, and opportunities to expand your skills.

Support you can access: Experienced colleagues and clinical leadership, including a board-certified criticalist serving as Chief Medical Officer.

A sustainable schedule: No overnights. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Veterinarian-owned leadership: People who understand hospital life and respect your clinical judgment.

Whether you’re an emergency veterinarian seeking a schedule change, a general practitioner ready to broaden your scope, or an early-career DVM looking for mentorship, we’d love to hear what you want next.
