Emergency Veterinarian – AAHA-Accredited, Full-Service, Privately-Owned Hospital 🔥

A privately-owned, full-service small animal hospital in Houston, TX is seeking an Emergency/Urgent Care Veterinarian to join it’s 8-DVM team. This is a rare opportunity to focus exclusively on emergency and urgent care medicine within a well-established, AAHA-accredited hospital, with the flexibility to split time between ER/UC and general practice if that mix appeals to you. Whether you want a purely emergency-focused caseload or a blended schedule, the hospital is happy to build a role around what suits you best. Operating around the clock, the hospital sees a genuine mix of urgent presentations, trauma, and general emergencies alongside its established GP caseload, giving ER/UC doctors a steady and varied flow of cases. You will be supported by a large, cross-trained technician team on site 24/7, so you are never working ER shifts without experienced hands alongside you. The 21,000 square foot facility is built to support this kind of medicine, with an ICU, on-site pharmacy, in-house laboratory, digital radiology, ultrasound, endoscopy, and fully equipped surgical suites all under one roof, meaning most cases can be managed without the need to transfer. Shifts are currently structured around Sunday 12pm to 12am and Monday/Tuesday 4pm to 12am, with some flexibility available depending on your availability and preferences. You will be joining a team of eight veterinarians, working alongside doctors who bring a genuine range of clinical interests and experience! The hospital is built around high-quality, relationship-driven medicine, with a genuine focus on staff wellbeing that shows up in the everyday details, from regular staff lunches and monthly cookouts to a culture where doctors are genuinely supported rather than run into the ground.
