Job Description

Associate Veterinarian

Redefine care. Rediscover purpose.



At AcutePet Urgent Care, we're reimagining urgent care for pets - and it starts with veterinarians who are ready to do meaningful work without sacrificing balance. We are expanding our operations to include the Cleveland Metropolitan area in Solon, OH - opening soon to meet the growing needs of the community. We will provide emergency-level care in an urgent care setting, with a pace and schedule designed to support both exceptional medicine and the well-being of the people delivering it.



This is an excellent opportunity for emergency veterinarians seeking a shift from the intensity of overnight or high-acuity ER shifts, or for experienced general practitioners looking to expand their scope in a dynamic, team-driven environment. It's also a great fit for newer veterinarians exploring a path outside of general practice, offering hands-on experience, meaningful mentorship, and a culture that encourages growth without overwhelm.



Whether you're seeking more autonomy, mentorship, or simply a new way to practice great medicine, you'll find your place here.



Founded by experienced DVMs, AcutePet is led by veterinary professionals who understand what it takes to support high-functioning teams and create sustainable, well-run hospitals. Our leadership is committed to building an employee-centric culture where teams are supported, empowered, and heard, no matter their role. With guidance from our Chief Medical Officer, a board-certified criticalist, and a network of Managing Veterinarians and Practice Managers, we equip our teams to deliver exceptional, emergency-level care in an urgent care setting, with the confidence that comes from trusted leadership.

What It's Like to Work Here:

We're a team of kind, capable people who show up for each other and our clients. That means collaboration over hierarchy, mentorship without micromanagement, and a culture where every team member matters.

What We're Looking For:

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (or equivalent) All levels of experience welcome - new grads encouraged to apply Interest in urgent care, emergency medicine, or expanding clinical confidence Strong diagnostic skills and a thoughtful, adaptable approach to patient care Excellent communication with clients and medical support teams Availability for evening or weekend shifts as needed
