Seneca Animal Hospital is an AAHA-accredited, privately owned small and exotic animal practice located in Upstate South Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are expanding our afternoon and evening urgent care services and are seeking a thoughtful and confident Part-Time Urgent Care Associate Veterinarian to join our established and highly collaborative team.

This position is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys same-day sick visits and urgent cases in a fast-paced, well-supported environment—without overnight emergency shifts.

At Seneca Animal Hospital, we believe in promoting responsible pet ownership through preventative healthcare practices and client education, while setting a high standard for medical excellence within our community.

In this role, you will:

This position is well-suited for veterinarians who:

• Enjoy urgent care and non-routine case work
• Are calm, confident decision-makers in dynamic environments
• Value teamwork, strong technician support, and mutual respect
• Care deeply about both high-quality medicine and client relationships
• Want clinical challenge without overnight emergency responsibilities

Previous experience in urgent care, emergency medicine, or general practice is helpful, but mindset and judgement matter most.

• 3 full-time and 2 part-time DVMs
• 4 LVTs and an exceptional support staff
• Modern diagnostics, surgical capabilities, and urgent-care infrastructure
• Strong referral relationships with specialty and emergency centers throughout the Upstate, including mobile specialist.
• A collegial, supportive culture focused on excellence and continuous improvement

• DVM or equivalent degree
• Licensed or eligible for licensure in South Carolina
• Strong clinical judgement and communication skills
• Team-oriented, positive, and collaborative approach to medicine

We hire for capability, judgement, and value alignment – not just credentials.

• Competitive compensation (Base + Production)
• Signing Bonus
• Simple IRA with company matching
• Continuing Education allowance
• Paid licensures and professional dues
• Health insurance stipend
• Personal pet benefits

This is not an assembly-line urgent care position. It is an opportunity to practice thoughtful, high-quality medicine in a setting that respects clinicians, values collaboration, and prioritizes sustainability.

If this opportunity aligns with how you want to practice veterinary medicine, we would love to connect.
