High-Impact Medicine. Better Work-Life Balance.
At PawDoc, we are reimagining veterinary care to be more accessible, transparent, and stress-free for every pet family. By combining high-quality medicine with a concierge-style experience, we make it easier for pet parents to get the care their pets need, without the anxiety or uncertainty. PawDoc Surgery and Dental in Katy, Texas is looking to add Urgent Care to their service offerings. Our goal is to bridge the gap between general practice and emergency/overnight care, offering non-life-threatening urgent care for pets in need.
Our client-centric approach is designed around convenience and connection. From pre-visit digital onboarding to real-time SMS updates, we keep pet owners informed and engaged every step of the way. Our reception-less, open lobby ensures every client and pet is personally welcomed, while our team takes time to sit down with clients, review care plans, build trust, and take care of pets.
At PawDoc, every detail, from warm greetings to thoughtful pick-up experiences, is intentional. We’re not just providing veterinary services; we’re creating a personalized partnership in care that puts the human-animal bond at the center of everything we do.
We understand the friction in veterinary medicine. That's why we work to combat compassion fatigue and burnout, focusing on collaboration, creativity, and wellness to support your career and personal goals. No early mornings, late nights, or overnight shifts, because your personal well-being is just as important as the care you provide.
Our compensation package includes starting base salary of $130,000, along with sign-on and relocation bonuses available. We offer a great benefits package including, but not limited to: health insurance (vision, medical, dental, health savings/flexible spending), life and disability insurance, 401K with company contribution, PTO, generous CE allowance with additional PTO allotted, reimbursement for membership dues and license fees, and more.
