About The Position

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, relief veterinarians can make a difference in the lives of pets daily. The role provides flexible online scheduling with no minimum or maximum shift requirements, offering a variety of weekday and weekend hours. Veterinarians have the freedom to set their own compensation rates for each shift and can continue other practice activities outside of Petco shifts without agency fees. The appointment-based model helps manage patient flow, ensuring timely departures, while trained staff handle operations, allowing the veterinarian to focus on patient care. Relief veterinarians stay informed through a monthly newsletter and receive a 15% discount on all Petco products and services. Vetco Vaccination Clinics focus on basic wellness checks, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and microchip placement, located primarily 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 modern tools like digital dental X-rays and ultrasound imaging. These hospitals have licensed staff and do not require overnight or emergency on-call shifts.
