About The Position

Vetco, a division of Petco, The Health + Wellness Company, is seeking independent veterinary contractors to join their team. Vetco aims to improve the lives of pets and pet parents by making high-quality veterinary care more accessible. As a relief veterinarian with Vetco, you can enjoy career flexibility, flexible online booking, and the ability to select your own shifts with no minimum or maximum requirements. You will also determine your own rate for each shift, can continue practice activities outside of Vetco shifts, and will pay no agency fees. The appointment-based model helps manage traffic and ensures efficient operations, with trained staff handling operations so you can focus on patient care. A monthly newsletter provides updates on policies, products, and clinic news. Additionally, employees receive a 15% Petco discount. Vetco offers two types of relief shifts: Vetco Vaccination Clinics and Vetco Total Care Hospitals. VETCO VACCINATION CLINICS focus on wellness examinations, preventive vaccinations and medications, heartworm testing, and microchip insertion. These clinics do not handle surgeries, emergencies, or sick visits. Operations, transactions, and pet restraint are managed by trained staff. Clinics are located within Petco retail stores, and the appointment-based model helps manage traffic. VETCO TOTAL CARE HOSPITAL relief shifts encompass preventive care, diagnostic workups, outpatient surgeries, and dental procedures. Relief veterinarians will collaborate with the area medical director to assess case comfort levels. Hospitals are equipped with digital patient records, a surgical suite, Butterfly IQ+ handheld ultrasound imaging, digital and dental X-ray, Vetology Radiograph Interpretation AI, and on-site labs.
