Vets Pets is a growing, privately owned company in North Carolina with locations spanning from the mountains to the coast. We focus on advancing veterinary medicine and the veterinary profession to meet diverse community needs.

Because Vets Pets has such a wide array of services, we can tailor your experience based on your professional interest. You can focus on one practice or rotate between Board-Certified Surgical services, Emergency services, General Practice (some practices include Exotics), and a Spay/Neuter clinic.

In addition to the opportunity to learn from our talented and experienced DVM staff, you will be assigned a mentor that will prove a valuable resource throughout your externship program.

Externships are open to currently enrolled third and fourth-year veterinary students. We also offering shadowing opportunities for other students. Availability for evenings, nights, and weekends is expected, especially for those interested in emergency services.

We are open to flexibility for the length of your experience to best fit your academic needs and our available resources, with a typical length of two to six weeks. We offer housing at certain locations.
