VCA South Shore (Weymouth) Animal Hospital located in South Weymouth, MA is looking for an Emergency Veterinarian who enjoys practicing advanced medicine with a cohesive, dynamic team.

We are an emergency and critical care hospital that sees a unique caseload of dogs, cats, and exotics.  We are open 24/7 and have been serving the South Shore of Boston for over 30 years.

You will enjoy working in our modern, full-service facility.  The hospital boasts a spacious treatment area, special procedures room, four surgical suites, and specialized isolation and exotic wards.  We are also equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, and endoscopy.  Additionally, our intensive care unit offers the capability of oxygen and temperature support, long-term ventilation, continuous fluids, and infused medicine, and advanced patient monitoring.  Completing the hospital is an in-house laboratory and pharmacy. 

This is a full-time position.  Our Veterinarians enjoy a good work-life balance, working on average 12-13 days per month with no on-call hours.

If beaches are more to your taste, Massachusetts, with over 200 miles of coastline, boasts some of the most spectacular beaches in the country. Enjoy the granite boulders on the North Shore or the miles of wide, sandy dunes along Cape Cod.

From November through April, choose from over 90 ski resorts in New England with many of them within just a few hours’ drive from Weymouth.  Get outside and take pleasure in downhill or cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, hiking, and more.  After, relax in a winter cabin in front of a warm fire.
