Urgent Care Veterinary Technician
About The Position
UrgentVet bridges the gap between daytime general practice and emergency or overnight care, offering after-hours care for canine and feline patients without additional emergency clinic fees.

The role requires regular on-site presence to support patient care, respond to time-sensitive needs, collaborate with clinical teams, and maintain the safety and well-being of patients, clients, and staff. The company will consider requests for reasonable accommodation in accordance with the ADA and applicable laws. A $5,000 retention bonus is offered over a two-year commitment, paid every six months while in good standing. Full-time employees may be required to travel for on-site training and onboarding.
