Veterinarian - Ownership Opportunity

Urgent Care Veterinarian (DVM)

Galaxy Vets Urgent Care & Walk-In — Newfoundland

Opening Summer 2026

Galaxy Vets is expanding to Newfoundland — and we are looking for entrepreneurial veterinarians who want to help build something from the ground up.

Galaxy Vets is an employee-owned veterinary healthcare system created with one mission: to give veterinary medicine back to veterinary professionals. Our Newfoundland hospital will launch as an urgent care and walk-in facility focused on accessible, high-quality medicine, with plans for continued expansion in Phase 2, including advanced diagnostics and specialty-level capabilities such as CT imaging and additional emergency services.

This is more than a DVM position. It is an opportunity to help shape a hospital, influence operations and culture, and grow alongside a rapidly evolving veterinary model.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

• Participation in the Employee Ownership Trust
• Profit-sharing opportunities
• Base salary plus production
• Leadership and growth opportunities within an expanding organization
• The ability to help shape workflows, culture, and medical standards from the beginning
• Continuing education allowance
• Paid licensing and professional dues
• Full medical and dental benefits
• Staff discount

The Role

As part of the founding clinical team, you will

• Perform physical examinations, diagnostics, and treatment planning
• Manage urgent care and emergency cases in a fast-paced environment
• Perform surgical procedures as needed
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with clients
• Collaborate with leadership to develop workflows and hospital processes
• Contribute to team culture, mentorship, and operational growth
• Help identify opportunities for service expansion and continuous improvement
• Maintain accurate and detailed medical records

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for veterinarians who combine strong clinical skills with leadership potential and an ownership mindset.

Ideal candidates are

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduates from an accredited university
• Licensed or eligible to practice in Newfoundland and Labrador
• Entrepreneurial and interested in the business side of veterinary medicine
• Excited by leadership, mentorship, and hospital development
• Adaptable, collaborative, and solutions-focused
• Motivated to help build a high-performing and positive workplace culture
• Interested in long-term growth within an evolving organization

• Founder’s Mindset
• Sees the Bigger Picture
• Always Evolving
• Lead with Integrity
• Sense of Humour
