About The Position
Petco Veterinary Services relief veterinarians work in Vetco Vaccination Clinics and Vetco Total Care full-service veterinary hospitals.

Hospital equipment includes digital dental X-rays, Butterfly IQ+ Vet ultrasound imaging, and fully equipped surgery suites. Relief veterinarians can choose shifts through flexible online scheduling, with no minimum or maximum number of shifts required and weekday and weekend hours available.
