Job Description

Urgent Care / Emergency Veterinarian — Up to $300K (Cash + Equity Sign-On)

Pearland, TX — Daytime ER Model — No Overnight Shifts

This is not a typical veterinary position. This opportunity offers both strong immediate compensation and a direct financial stake in a practice positioned for corporate acquisition.

We are building a high-performance daytime emergency hospital in one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Houston. The practice has been independently valued at approximately $3M and is actively preparing for sale. Veterinarians who contribute to this growth will share directly in the financial upside.

This is an ownership-track opportunity designed for veterinarians who want to practice high-quality emergency medicine while building long-term wealth.

Compensation & Financial Opportunity

• Base Salary: $150,000
• Production Earnings: Up to $250,000+ annually
• Cash at Practice Sale: Up to $100,000
• Equity at Practice Sale: Up to $200,000
• Estimated 5-Year Equity Growth: $500,000 – $800,000+

Potential total 5-year earnings: $1.2M – $1.5M+

Note: Cash and equity components are contingent on achieving financial targets and completing a practice sale.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

• True emergency and urgent care medicine during daytime hours (no overnight shifts)
• High-acuity caseload with surgical volume
• All presenting patients are seen — no diversion or case selection
• Direct equity participation in a practice preparing for acquisition
• Clear link between performance and financial upside
• Predictable rotating 4/3 schedule with shared weekend coverage

Key Responsibilities

• Triage, stabilize, diagnose, and treat patients
• Perform urgent and emergency soft tissue surgeries

• Collaborate with team members and follow established workflows

Surgical Requirements

• Pyometra surgery
• Wound repair and laceration management

Mentorship is available, but candidates must be willing to perform surgery.

Professional Corporation Requirement

In accordance with Texas law, veterinary practices must operate under a Professional Corporation (PC) owned by a licensed veterinarian. The selected candidate will be required to hold the PC in their name.

Full legal and administrative support will be provided.

Ideal Candidate

• DVM or equivalent veterinary degree
• Licensed (or eligible for licensure) in Texas
• Willing to hold the Professional Corporation (PC)
• Experience in emergency, urgent care, or high-volume general practice
• Strong surgical confidence
• Ability to make independent clinical decisions

The Bottom Line
