About The Position

Petco is seeking relief veterinarians to work at Vetco Vaccination Clinics and Vetco Total Care full-service veterinary hospitals. Relief veterinarians can schedule shifts online, choose from weekday and weekend hours, set their rate for each shift, and continue practicing outside Petco shifts. There is no minimum or maximum number of shifts required, and no agency fees. An appointment-based model helps manage patient flow, while trained staff handle clinic operations so veterinarians can focus on patient care. Veterinarians receive a monthly newsletter with clinic news, policy updates, and product announcements, plus a 15% discount on Petco products and services.

Their equipment includes digital dental X-rays, Butterfly IQ+ Vet ultrasound imaging, and surgery suites with heated hydraulic tables and full anesthesia monitoring.
