Full Job Posting
About Pawspact
- Pawspact is a premium pet family veterinary clinic in Abu Dhabi, built on a single idea: a pact.
- We are a growing ecosystem grounded in advanced animal welfare training and evidence based medicine.
- Our clinical team is led by senior veterinarians with international postgraduate credentials.
The Role
- We're looking for a veterinarian who is as confident in the operating theatre as in the consult room.
- You'll carry a full soft tissue surgical caseload alongside consultations, diagnostics, and dentistry.
- At Pawspact, the treatment plan you recommend is the one the pet actually needs.
What You'll Do
- Run consultations, wellness exams, and vaccination visits for dogs, cats, and other small companion animals.
- Diagnose and treat medical cases using in house diagnostics (laboratory, imaging) and evidence based protocols.
- Perform a broad range of surgery beyond routine spay/neuter: advanced soft tissue procedures.
- Own the full surgical journey: pre operative work up, anaesthesia planning, and post operative pain management.
- Communicate honestly and clearly with pet parents: real diagnoses, real options, transparent quotes.
- Support our wider work: fit to fly examinations for pet relocations, TNR programmes, and community education.
- Maintain complete, accurate medical records and contribute to our clinical protocols.
- Collaborate daily with our senior veterinary team and nursing staff.
What We're Looking For
- DVM/BVSc or equivalent veterinary degree from an accredited university.
- Eligible for (or already holding) a MOCCAE veterinary license to practice in the UAE.
- 5+ years of small animal clinical experience with a strong, demonstrable surgical record.
- Independent competence in advanced soft tissue surgery well beyond routine spay/neuter.
- Confident anaesthesia and peri operative management, including higher risk patients.
- Sound, evidence based clinical judgment and the humility to ask for a second opinion.
- Warm, clear communication in English (Arabic is a plus).
- Commitment to low stress, welfare centred handling of patients.
- Postgraduate surgical credentials or a special interest area are a strong plus.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary package with medical insurance, annual flights, and UAE employment visa.
- CPD support — we invest in continuing education.
- Modern, well equipped clinic with in house diagnostics.
- A caseload built on trust, not sales targets — no commission driven medicine.
- A collegial team culture with structured case discussions and senior mentorship.
- Room to grow within an expanding ecosystem.
How to Apply
- Send your CV, MOCCAE license status, and a summary of your surgical caseload to care@pawspact.com or apply directly through LinkedIn.
