October 2025 New ER Doctor Program (NERD): 2025 Graduates - Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG)

*Application Closes on Monday, November 18th*

Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) is revolutionizing the Veterinary Emergency experience. Our mission is to help people and their pets when they need it most. Emergency is our middle name. It's all we do, so we do it best.

The way that Veterinary Emergency was meant to be is now a reality. We are reimagining every part of the process with a unique customer experience, a highly trained emergency focused staff, and on-site advanced diagnostic tools and treatments. Our patients see a doctor right away and clients can stay with their pet through every step of the process. We empower our employees to be all they can be. We brush away systems that don't make sense. We crush old rules. 

At VEG, we want people and their pets to feel safe, secure, and valued. We aim for our employees to feel the same way. We lead with our values of togetherness, openness, heroic helping, and meaningful moments. For our customers and their pets, we find a way to say, "Yes". We do the same for our employees.

Emergency Veterinarian- New ER Doctor

The New ER Doctor Program is a unique job opportunity for recent graduates who are passionate about working in emergency veterinary medicine and are unsure if a traditional rotating internship is the right fit for them.
