Because life is better with pets.

We deliver the Ultimate Care Experience – every pet, every client, every time. That starts with a Culture of Care that supports our team members as much as the pets and clients we serve.

• A collaborative, inclusive environment where your wellbeing comes first

You care for pets. We care for you.

Care for pets. Maintain balance and flexibility. Nurture ongoing care.

Join our team as a Part‑Time Veterinarian with predictable hours and a consistent home hospital assignment. You'll enjoy flexibility while working alongside a locally led care team supported by national resources.

Whether you’re balancing family commitments, pursuing personal interests, or simply seeking a more sustainable pace, we’re here to support you. This role allows you to stay clinically engaged without sacrificing balance, connection, or continuity of care. We’re flexible, open to conversation, and committed to understanding your availability and goals – building a schedule that works for both you and the hospital.

Taylor Veterinary Emergency Hospital has a 24‑hour support staff in our 8,500 sq. ft. facility. We are well equipped with state‑of‑the‑art equipment, including a Snyder O₂ unit, digital & portable X‑ray, Rigid/endoscope, 2 fully equipped ORs, 5 exam rooms, skills lab & training classroom, ultrasounds, & a fully remodeled Idexx Lab. Daily rounding and consultations with fellow experienced veterinarians create a team approach to challenging cases and provide a professionally rewarding experience for individuals who like to practice high‑level, compassionate veterinary medicine.

As the only ER in a 20+ mile radius we have a high volume of trauma coming in the door. We work closely with local GPs for transfers and referrals and communicate throughout the day with them on wait times, creating a better client experience through inter‑hospital communication.

Turlock is located in the heart of the Central Valley, close to all things California! Although it’s a rural area, we are still considered East Bay (San Francisco) making it an easy drive to nearby attractions like Napa Valley, Sacramento, and Oakland. If you are looking to spend time at the beach, horseback riding, biking, hiking, or canoeing; you’re a short drive to Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and all the splendors California has to offer.

Home of California State University Stanislaus (CSUS), Turlock provides an amazing opportunity to combine a quality learning environment with relaxed rural living and affordable housing.
