Petco Veterinary Services offers relief veterinarians the opportunity to work in two distinct settings: Vetco Vaccination Clinics and Vetco Total Care full-service veterinary hospitals. In both environments, veterinarians can make a difference in the lives of pets daily. As a relief veterinarian, you'll benefit from flexible online scheduling with no minimum or maximum shift requirements, and a variety of weekday and weekend hours. You have the freedom to set your own compensation rate for each shift and can continue practice activities outside of Petco shifts without agency fees. The appointment-based model helps manage patient flow and ensures timely departures, supported by trained, experienced staff who handle operations. Veterinarians stay informed through a monthly newsletter with clinic news, policy updates, and product announcements. Additionally, a 15% discount on all Petco products and services is provided. Vetco Vaccination Clinics focus on basic wellness checks, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and microchip placement, primarily located within Petco stores or advanced mobile van units, and do not offer surgeries, emergency, or illness care. Vetco Total Care hospitals are full-service facilities providing preventive care, diagnostic workups, outpatient surgeries, and dental procedures, equipped with digital dental X-rays, Butterfly IQ+ Vet ultrasound imaging, and fully equipped surgery suites with heated hydraulic surgery tables and full anesthesia monitoring. These hospitals have licensed and trained staff and do not require overnight or emergency on-call shifts. Petco Veterinary Services aims to provide access to high-quality veterinary care across 48 states.
