Emergency Veterinarian

It’s a great time to be an ER Vet! You have amazing skills, clients need you, and hospitals want you. Shouldn’t you have a hospital that you want back? Pet Emergency & Trauma Services is a small, independently-owned, owner-staffed, after-hours emergency hospital in Kannapolis, NC.

We serve a varied demographic base from a broad geographic area to keep every night fresh and interesting. Our hospital is compact but fully outfitted with a complement of in-house Idexx laboratory capabilities, a brand-spanking new Sound digital X-ray system, GE Logiq V2 ultrasound, Engler ventilator, new Cardell full anesthesia monitor, SurgiVet anesthesia monitor, Doppler blood pressure monitor, and TonoVet. We provide great medicine and bad haircuts in a stream-lined, well-oiled, vet med team machine. Wanna play?
