About Petco:

We’re proud to be 'where the pets go' to find everything they need to live their best lives for more than 60 years — from their favorite meals and toys, to trusted supplies and expert support from people who get it, because we live it. We believe in the universal truths of pet parenthood — the boundless boops, missing slippers, late night zoomies and everything in between. And we’re here for it. Every tail wag, every vet visit, every step of the way. We are 29,000+ strong and together we nurture the pet-human bond in more than 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico, 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals, hundreds of preventive care clinics and eight distribution centers. In 1999, we founded Petco Love. Together, we support thousands of local animal welfare groups nationwide and have helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.

Description

Corporate? Technically. Corporate-feeling? Not even close.
If you've been avoiding corporate veterinary medicine...we get it.
You became a veterinarian to practice great medicine—not to chase quotas, rush appointments, sit through endless meetings, or have someone hundreds of miles away tell you how to do your job.
That's not us.
Vetco Total Care was founded by veterinarians and built for veterinarians. We believe the people making medical decisions should be...veterinarians.
That's why we're opening this brand-new hospital and looking for Hospital Medical Leaders or Associate Veterinarians to build something different from day one.Build the hospital you've always wanted to work in.

This isn't about stepping into someone else's culture.
It's about creating your own.
You will hire and mentor your team, shape the medical standards, create a culture people genuinely love, and lead a hospital where exceptional medicine always comes first.
We'll handle payroll, HR, operations, licensing, and administrative support.
You focus on patients. Your team. Great medicine.
Everything else? We've got it.
Here’s what "different" actually looks like.
Practice autonomous medicine with support from local Veterinary Area Medical Directors—not cookie-cutter protocols.
No sales quotas.
Your success is measured by the quality of care you provide—not how many appointments you squeeze into a day.
Flexibility that actually means flexibility.
Want to work full time? Great. Want to work part time? Great. Full-time schedules start at just 30 hours per week because we know life doesn't stop when you leave the hospital.
Leadership development, paid continuing education, and career advancement opportunities.
Open time off.

No negative accruals.
No on-call or overnight shifts.
We close for lunch—and by6
