Urgent Care Veterinarian
About The Position
UrgentVet provides after-hours veterinary care for canine and feline patients in the New Britain, Connecticut area, bridging the gap between daytime general practice and emergency or overnight care without the additional expense of emergency clinic fees. The role works swing/second shifts in urgent care only, with no wellness services. The clinics operate single-doctor shifts and treat common urgent cases such as wounds, ear infections, vomiting and diarrhea, and euthanasia. The posting states that the role involves a varying caseload, including surgeries and appointments during open hours, while also specifying that the practice performs no abdominal surgeries. The paperless clinics are designed for efficient care and use cloud-based electronic medical records, digital x-ray, and IDEXX in-house laboratory equipment. The practice describes itself as feline friendly and Fear Free, with a strong technical team and support, modern hospitals, and a flexible schedule. The veterinarian serves patients and clients using a relationship-based approach, works with the clinical team and leadership, builds community relationships, and supports staff development through the internal LevelUp training program.
