VCA South Shore Animal Hospital is seeking an experienced Emergency Veterinarian to complement our talented team in South Weymouth, Massachusetts.

South Shore Weymouth is one of the largest VCA hospitals on the East coast. For more than 30 years, we have been caring for pets in the Norfolk County area. Our 28,000 square foot, state of the art hospital is beautiful and inviting at only 10 years old, with a diverse and stimulating caseload.  The strong relationship between our emergency and specialty departments allows us to care for complex surgical and medical cases in a 24-hour setting, providing comprehensive care. VCA South Shore Weymouth also boasts a strong internship program and a talented, caring support staff.

We have a dedicated ultrasound room, private imaging reading room, 64 slice CT scanner, C-arm fluoroscopy, and a new telemetry unit. We also have dedicated technician managers, hands free radiology, I-131, a supportive, progressive management team, and we are AHAA certified, and have integrated fear free methods throughout the practice.
