BluePearl Specialty + Emergency Pet Hospital in Katy, Texas is seeking a full-time boarded or residency trained Critical Care Veterinarian to join our state of the art emergency and specialty hospital.

Our clinicians offer 24/7 emergency care as well as specialty services including internal medicine, surgery and neurosurgery. Our veterinarians are also known as leaders in the practice of canine hip replacements. On-site diagnostic and treatment capabilities include a CT scanner, ultrasound, endoscopy and digital radiography.
