Discover the Adventure of Practicing Surgery in Alaska

Join Pet Emergency Treatment in Anchorage, AK – Where Your Skills Make a Statewide Impact


Are you a Board-Certified or Residency-Trained Veterinary Surgeon seeking a unique and rewarding opportunity—without the saturated markets and heavy competition found elsewhere? Whether you're exploring a career change, looking for more balance, or dreaming of a work-life that includes hiking, skiing, and stunning wilderness right in your backyard, Pet Emergency Treatment (PET) in Anchorage, Alaska, is the destination you’ve been looking for.

We are seeking a surgeon who is passionate about high-quality medicine and open to flexible scheduling to fit your life


Why PET, Why Now?

  • Truly Make a Difference: PET is a well-equipped, progressive, AAHA-accredited emergency and referral hospital serving not only Anchorage, but also remote “bush” communities across the state.
  • Minimal Local Competition: You’ll be the only surgeon in Alaska supported by a team that includes 5 ER doctors and the state’s only Board-Certified Internist. That means strong demand, meaningful impact, and diverse cases.
  • Cutting-Edge Tools: Our facility features advanced technology including a Siemens 32-slice CT, fluoroscopy, Storz HD endoscopy, ultrasound, and digital radiography.
  • Collaborative Environment: You'll work alongside passionate colleagues in a team-based atmosphere, with support from skilled technicians and a leadership team that values your voice—especially in decisions around equipment and scheduling.
  • Compensation & Perks: Competitive salary with production, full benefits package (health, 401k, CE, paid time off, pet discounts), elite gym membership, generous sign-on/relocation bonus—and flexible work arrangements.

Why Alaska?

Anchorage isn’t just remote—it’s remarkable.
Regularly named one of the top 10 U.S. cities by Outside Magazine, Anchorage offers a rare blend of urban amenities and wild beauty. Here’s what makes it special:

  • Four Seasons of Adventure: Enjoy skiing and snowboarding at Alyeska Resort (just 45 minutes away), world-class hiking, trail running, biking, and Nordic skiing all within city limits.
  • Endless Exploration: Denali National Park is a breathtaking 240-mile drive north; the Kenai Peninsula’s fishing and camping is just a few hours south.
  • Vibrant Culture: Monthly art walks, live music, breweries, and an emerging food scene give Anchorage a warm, connected community vibe.
  • No State Income Tax: More of your paycheck stays in your pocket.

Whether you’re craving a slower pace, deeper connection to nature, or a new chapter in your surgical career, Anchorage offers something truly different—and PET gives you the platform to thrive.
