Veterinary Surgeon & “Builder of What’s Next” is Needed in Alaska!
Are you a Board-Certified Surgeon or Residency Trained Veterinarian with an entrepreneurial mindset? Are you someone who thrives with autonomy, innovation, and the opportunity to shape a department from the ground up? Do you want the freedom to select the equipment, team, and systems needed to deliver exceptional veterinary care and legendary client service?
If so, we’d love to meet you.
As one of the most underserved veterinary specialties in Alaska, surgical care represents a vital need for our patients and their families. Your leadership would help bring a level of service that is currently unavailable in much of the state. We’re seeking someone who knows what it takes to lead and inspire a high-performing team. Someone who embraces a servant-leadership philosophy and recognizes the value each team member brings to the hospital. If you’re always exploring ways to improve your craft, your team, and your environment, you’ll fit right in!
The Pet Stop, founded in 1985, is a well-established small animal practice known for delivering compassionate, individualized, high-quality care. We provide comprehensive medical services, including diagnostic ultrasound and endoscopy, and serve dogs, cats, and a handful of exotics—while Alaska’s wildlife keeps things interesting all on its own.
You’ll be supported by a long-tenured, highly skilled, and deeply dedicated team that allows our doctors to focus on what matters most: patient care.

We offer a great benefits package including, but not limited to: health insurance (vision, medical, dental, with company HSA contribution), life and disability insurance, 401K with company match, PTO, generous CE, reimbursement for membership dues and license fees, uniform allowance, and more.
We strongly value work–life balance, giving you time to enjoy family, friends, and the incredible Alaska outdoors. If you’re ready to build, lead, innovate, and make a meaningful impact on both a hospital and a community, we’d love to help you make it happen.
Come create something extraordinary with us here in Alaska!
