About The Position

Petco Veterinary Services offers relief veterinarians flexible shift work in two settings: Vetco Vaccination Clinics and Vetco Total Care full-service veterinary hospitals. Online scheduling lets veterinarians choose shifts that fit their needs, with no minimum or maximum shift requirement and weekday and weekend options. Veterinarians set their own rate for each shift, may continue practice activities outside Petco shifts, and pay no agency fees. The appointment-based model helps manage patient flow and supports leaving on time, while trained staff handle operations so veterinarians can focus on patient care. Relief veterinarians receive a monthly newsletter with clinic news, policy updates, and product announcements, plus a 15% discount on Petco products and services.

Vetco Vaccination Clinics provide basic wellness checks, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and microchip placement. They do not provide surgery, emergency, or illness care. Clinics are primarily located in Petco stores, with some operating from mobile van units. Vetco Total Care hospitals provide preventive care, diagnostic workups, outpatient surgeries, and dental procedures. Their equipment includes digital dental X-rays, Butterfly IQ+ Vet ultrasound imaging, and surgery suites with heated hydraulic tables and full anesthesia monitoring. Hospital staff are licensed and trained, and there are no overnight or emergency on-call shifts.

Petco Veterinary Services provides access to veterinary care in 48 states. The posting invites interested veterinarians to contact a Talent Advisor and explore available relief shift locations.
