Job Description

Associate Veterinarian – Wellness & Urgent Care

Full-Time | Philadelphia, PA

About Art City Vets & Urgent Care

Art City Vets & Urgent Care is a privately owned animal hospital in Philadelphia, founded by Dr. Edward Aller. Built on the belief that pets deserve exceptional care delivered with warmth, attention, and accessibility, we provide both Wellness and Urgent Care services in a collaborative and compassionate environment.

We are committed to high-quality, individualized care for every patient and to fostering a respectful, team-oriented workplace for our staff. Our team values communication, professional growth, and medical excellence, and we take pride in maintaining a supportive culture where everyone contributes to great outcomes.

We also understand what the veterinary industry feels like right now. Many clinicians feel rushed, overextended, or disconnected from the kind of medicine they want to practice. Art City Vets was intentionally built to be the opposite, a place where doctors have the time, support, and autonomy to practice thoughtful medicine, with a team that has their back.

From preventive care and diagnostics to surgery and urgent care treatment, we ensure every patient receives thoughtful, thorough, relationship-centered care. Communication, integrity, and compassion guide everything we do.

Benefits
  • Competitive compensation with base and production, with no negative accrual.

  • Sign-on bonus for qualified candidates

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer contribution

  • Short-Term and Long-Term Disability coverage options

  • 401(k) with employer match

  • Paid Time Off (PTO)

  • Flexible scheduling and work-life balance initiatives (no overnights)

  • Employee pet care discounts

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) & wellness resources

  • Continuing education allowance + paid CE days

  • Reimbursement for DEA, State License, and Professional Liability insurance

  • Reimbursement for AVMA / PVMA dues (or association of choice)

  • Annual uniform & equipment allowance

  • Mentorship and support for developing new clinical or surgical skills

  • Optional relocation assistance for non-local candidates

Position Summary

The Associate Veterinarian will rotate between Wellness and Urgent Care, with the opportunity to perform soft tissue surgery and dentistry depending on interest. This role is ideal for a clinician who enjoys balanced caseloads, supportive collaboration, and thoughtful, relationship-centered medicine.

Mentorship is available at all experience levels, and learning new skills is actively supported.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing thorough physical exams, diagnostics, medical treatments, and client education

  • Managing wellness care, chronic disease, and same-day/urgent medical concerns

  • Working collaboratively with technicians and support staff to maintain efficient patient flow

  • Communicating clearly and compassionately with clients about treatment plans and next steps

  • Maintaining accurate and detailed medical records (EzyVet experience a plus)

  • Practicing low-stress handling and patient-centered care

  • Participating in ongoing training, doctor case discussions, and hospital improvement initiatives

Qualifications
  • DVM/VMD with active Pennsylvania veterinary license (or ability to obtain)

  • Strong communicator and team collaborator

  • Values kindness, curiosity, and shared decision-making in clinical care

  • Comfortable managing varied caseloads or eager to develop confidence with support

  • New graduates and experienced veterinarians are both encouraged to apply

  • Candidates transitioning from ER or corporate settings seeking sustainability without sacrificing medicine are welcome

Schedule

Full-time position with rotating weekends.
No overnights.
No required late-night hospital stay shifts.

Schedules are designed to support work-life balance and long-term career sustainability.
