Urgent Care Veterinarian Jobs

Urgent Care Veterinarian

An Urgent Care Veterinarian is a licensed DVM / VMD who provides same-day, non-emergency medical and surgical care within dedicated urgent care veterinary clinics or extended-hours GP hospitals.

They assess and treat urgent cases such as minor injuries, illness flare-ups, wound management, pain control, diagnostics, and stabilisation. Urgent Care Veterinarians bridge the gap between general practice and emergency care, offering timely treatment without ER-level acuity. In the USA, they must be licensed through their state board and meet AVMA-accredited education standards.

This role is commonly searched as “Urgent Care Vet,” “UC Veterinarian,” “Same-Day Care Veterinarian,” and “Walk-In Veterinarian.” Urgent Care Veterinarians work in standalone urgent care facilities and hybrid GP/ER practices, delivering efficient, high-quality care in a fast-paced clinical environment.
