Emergency Veterinarian – Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic

Hourly Wage: $120.00-$180.00/hour, based on experience

Are you a veterinarian looking to join a supportive, close-knit emergency team where you can grow your skills, be challenged, and make a real difference for patients and their families? Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic (KVEC) is looking for full-time veterinarians to join our growing team. New graduates are welcome to apply

Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic

Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic is an accredited, full-service, 24-hour, 7-day-a-week small animal emergency hospital serving Peterborough, the Kawarthas, Northumberland, and surrounding communities.

Our highly qualified veterinary team provides compassionate, high-quality emergency care when pets need it most. Emergency medicine is one of the most exciting and rewarding areas of veterinary medicine, and whether you are an experienced ER veterinarian or a new graduate interested in exploring emergency medicine, you'll have access to amazing mentorship and support to help you build your confidence and skills.





We are proud of our welcoming and collaborative team culture. We take care of each other just as much as we take care of our patients, and we believe that a strong team is at the heart of excellent emergency medicine.

Join a Team Where You Can Make a Real Difference

At KVEC, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside highly skilled veterinary professionals in a fast-paced workplace while having access to amazing mentorship, continuing education, and wellness support specifically tailored to the unique demands of emergency medicine.

We're looking for veterinarians who are passionate about patient care, enjoy working as part of a team, and want to continue learning and growing in emergency medicine.

Mentorship That Meets You Where You Are

We recognize that every veterinarian comes to emergency medicine with a different level of experience and confidence. Whether you're a newer graduate, an experienced GP looking to transition into ER, or an emergency veterinarian wanting support while becoming familiar with a new hospital, our mentorship program is tailored to you.

- Dedicated shadow shifts with a senior emergency veterinarian before working independently, with the number and type of shifts tailored to your needs.
- A gradual transition toward independent ER practice,



rather than expecting you to manage a busy emergency caseload before you feel ready.
- On-call access to an experienced KVEC veterinarian for clinical questions and support once you begin working independently.
- Ongoing opportunities for case discussion, collaboration, and mentorship with experienced ER veterinarians.
- Support in developing your skills and confidence in areas such as emergency surgery, critical patient management, diagnostic decision-making, client communication, and managing an ER caseload.
- A mentorship plan that can evolve as your confidence and experience grow because support shouldn't suddenly disappear once your formal orientation is over.

Our goal isn't simply to get you onto the schedule. We want to help you become comfortable, confident, and successful in emergency medicine, while making sure you always know that support is available when you need it.
