Uintah Pet Emergency is an emergency/ urgent care facility located in beautiful downtown Colorado Springs, CO. Uintah is planning to transition to 24/7 in the next few months, and we are adding to our team! We are interested in speaking with experienced ER DVMs, internship-trained DVMs, and new grads or GP DVMs who have an interest in emergency medicine. ER Mentorship is available!

•  For our patients and our clients, our focus is the human-animal bond above all else and being of service to our community.
