How much do virtual veterinary jobs pay per hour?
What is a Virtual Veterinary job?
A Virtual Veterinary job involves providing remote veterinary consultations and advice to pet owners through video calls, phone calls, or online messaging. These professionals assess symptoms, offer guidance on pet care, recommend treatments, and determine if an in-person visit is necessary. While they cannot perform physical exams or procedures, they help pet owners make informed decisions about their pets' health. This role often requires a veterinary degree and experience in clinical practice.
What are some typical responsibilities of a Virtual Veterinary, and how does the remote work structure impact daily workflow?
As a Virtual Veterinary, your daily responsibilities often include consulting with pet owners via video calls or chat, reviewing medical histories, providing remote diagnoses, guiding follow-up care, and coordinating prescriptions or in-person referrals when necessary. The remote nature of the job means you'll need to manage appointments independently while staying in regular contact with support staff and sometimes collaborating with other veterinarians or veterinary technicians. Technology is integral to your workflow, so proficiency with telemedicine and digital communication is important. The flexibility of remote work allows for a potentially more varied or self-directed schedule, but it also requires excellent organizational skills and adaptability to ensure pet owners receive timely, high-quality care.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Virtual Veterinary position, and why are they important?
To thrive as a Virtual Veterinary, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree and valid veterinary license are essential, along with strong diagnostic and clinical knowledge. Familiarity with telemedicine platforms, digital recordkeeping systems, and secure communication tools is typically required. Outstanding communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills enable you to effectively guide and reassure pet owners remotely. These competencies ensure accurate care recommendations, build client trust, and facilitate seamless virtual consultations.

Vet Health Services (VHS) at PetSmart is leading the way in making veterinary care more accessible and impactful. Through our Independent Veterinary Operator (IVO) practices, the PetSmart Veterinary Services (PVS) franchise ownership model, to partnerships with Banfield Pet Hospital, in-store vaccine and wellness clinics, and Access to Veterinary Care (AVC) initiatives supported by PetSmart Charities, VHS brings innovative veterinary solutions together under one roof to support pets, pet parents, and the professionals who care for them.
About the Location
Field Position:
This position is considered Field based and is considered to be a blend of onsite and remote work activity. Field associates will spend their time both traveling to and spending time in various PetSmart locations and can expect to be asked to travel to Phoenix Home Office periodically throughout the year. Field associates typically work out of their home office when not traveling as outlined above.
About the Job
We’re looking for a skilled veterinarian who’s excited to deliver high-quality care and store team support for pets in our care. This unique role blends virtual healthcare with operational influence in aiding our store teams to provide the best environmental and overall care for pets in stores. Additionally, this role will help to define best practices for virtual care and provide guidance on store team and field veterinary inquiries.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Competitive salary + performance bonuses
- Opportunity to innovate and define a culture where pets and store teams thrive
- A role where your voice matters—spanning both high-quality veterinary medicine and operational leadership
What You’ll Do – Virtual Care Responsibilities
- Provide comprehensive wellness care across life stages, with a focus on prevention and client education
- Diagnose and treat varying conditions in dogs, cats, and select exotics
- Foster lasting relationships with our store and field leadership teams through trust and clear communication
- Collaborate with Vet Health Services program teams and internal veterinary partners on store veterinary guidance and support
- Help ensure compliance with PetSmart standards and operating policies for PetSmart pets
- Define best practices for data and document integration into other supporting record systems utilized by stores
Qualifications
- Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) degree from an accredited institution
- Licensed (and in good standing) to practice veterinary medicine in the state of employment and willing to get licensing in additional states to support stores
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in general practice, preventive care, or a community clinic setting preferred
- Prior virtual care / telehealth experience is a plus
- Strong communication skills and a genuine passion for associate education
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented, retail-based model
- Comfortable using modern veterinary software and digital records systems
