Emergency Veterinarian

NVA General Practice
Thornton, CO Full Time
POSTED ON 5/31/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/11/2026
Veterinarian – Daytime or Swing Shift GP / ER

Community Pet Hospital | Powered by NVA

One hospital. Multiple paths. You choose the adventure.

At Community Pet Hospital, we don’t believe great veterinarians should be forced into one rigid box. Some doctors love general practice. Others thrive in emergency medicine. Many enjoy a mix of both.

Here, you can build a role that fits you.

We’re hiring a daytime / swing shift veterinarian for a flexible GP, ER, or hybrid GP/ER position, depending on your interests, experience, and long-term goals.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a “one-size-fits-all” position.

  • Prefer daytime GP with continuity of care? ✔
  • Interested in daytime ER / urgent care-style cases without overnights? ✔
  • Want a blend of GP ER to keep things interesting? ✔
