About The Position

Petco Veterinary Services offers relief veterinarians shifts in two settings: Vetco Vaccination Clinics and Vetco Total Care full-service veterinary hospitals. Vaccination Clinics provide basic wellness checks, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and microchip placement; they do not provide surgery, emergency, or illness care. These clinics are primarily located inside Petco stores, with some operating from mobile van units. Vetco Total Care hospitals provide preventive care, diagnostic workups, outpatient surgeries, and dental procedures, with trained hospital staff and equipment that includes digital dental X-rays, Butterfly IQ+ Vet ultrasound imaging, and fully equipped surgery suites. No overnight or emergency on-call shifts are required at Total Care hospitals.

Relief veterinarians can schedule shifts online, choose shifts that fit their lifestyle, and set their own rate for each shift. There is no minimum or maximum number of shifts, and weekday and weekend hours are available. Veterinarians may continue practice activities outside Petco shifts, and no agency fees apply. An appointment-based model helps manage patient flow, while trained staff handle operations so veterinarians can focus on patient care. Petco provides a monthly newsletter with clinic news, policy updates, and product announcements, plus a 15% discount on Petco products and services.
