Job Description Job Description ABOUT VEG In 2014, VEG was born
with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it
most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything
that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded
rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and
created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their
pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies! At VEG we
find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary
emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our
open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of

deserve. This also means saying yes to creating the greatest
experience possible for our VEGgies. Yes to working in an
