THE STORY
More Than a Hospital - A Mission
Veterinary Pulse Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a dual mission: to meet our region's urgent need for
after-hours veterinary care — and to support the people who make that care possible. Through our flagship
initiative—Pet Pulse After Hours ER—we're creating a sustainable, compassionate solution to a long-standing
gap in veterinary emergency care.
For over 30 years, Teton County's veterinary clinics have struggled with rotating after-hours coverage, leading
to burnout, staff turnover, and limited availability.
Our urgent care hybrid hospital (opening early fall 2026) will change that. We'll be open nights, weekends, and
holidays to provide urgent care when regular clinics are closed, working in partnership with existing
veterinarians. Our nonprofit structure lets us focus on what matters: veterinary care, not profit margins.
THE OPPORTUNITY
ER Medicine That Doesn't Break You
Most emergency DVMs describe their careers as a war of attrition. The long shifts, relentless pace and little time to think often lead to significant mental health challenges. We're building a different model.
Our urgent care and emergency hospital serves a community that needs after-hours care without the overwhelming volume of a major metro ER. High-acuity cases come in, but the caseload reflects the nature of our
region — giving you room to practice thoughtful, thorough medicine.
You'll work alongside a team that has your back, with leadership that values your input and a culture where medicine and wellbeing can coexist.

in outreach and helping us grow our
mission to serve the community — not
just practice medicine, but build
something meaningful.

What your Day-to-Day Looks Like
We're open for walk-ins from 6-10pm Monday through Saturday and 10am-10pm on Sundays. After those hours, our
doors are locked — but you and a seasoned technician remain on-site, available for emergencies when they arise,
caring for hospitalized patients or resting in your private room.
You'll be providing urgent and emergent care for pets that are currently being transported to the nearest pet ER 85+
miles away. Your service fills a critical gap in after-hours care — offering 24/7 hospitalization between Pet Pulse and
the referring DVM, a much-needed missing link in our surrounding communities.
While you'll be the sole DVM on-site, you won't be alone in your growth. We provide ongoing support through
reflective case reviews, giving you a space to discuss complex cases, refine your approach, and continue developing
your clinical judgment outside the pressure of the moment.
