Relief – Urgent Care / GP Veterinarian

Ark Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care is hiring a Per-Diem / Relief Veterinarian to join our team on a flexible, as-needed basis. In this role, you’ll deliver comprehensive medical and surgical care to a wide range of animal patients, including cats, dogs, and exotics. This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets within the community while enjoying the flexibility of adjustable work hours and schedule.

You’ll have the chance to treat both urgent care and general practice cases, offering essential medical support to a diverse patient population.

What to Expect

Salary: Starting at $145 per hour

We offer flexibility in compensation, allowing the relief veterinarian to choose between an hourly rate or production-only based pay.

Location: 35 Finn Rd., Henrietta, NY 14467

Schedule: Our practice operates on an appointment-based model. Clients must call in to secure an urgent care appointment, and once we are fully booked for the day, our doctors will not be required to stay after their scheduled shifts. This structure allows for better work-life balance and ensures that our team can plan their time effectively.

• A 2:1 staff to doctor ratio. You will have the support—and respect—you need to be excellent for our patients. We’ve got your back. Our support staff team consists of 13 licensed technicians, 4 veterinary assistants, and 7 CSRs.

 Requirements

• DVM or equivalent degree from an accredited veterinary school
• 2+ years’ experience in emergency medicine and/or urgent care is preferred
