The veterinary industry is at a crossroads. With more pet owners seeking care and insufficient qualified professionals to fill roles, clinics are experiencing an unprecedented staffing crunch. The struggle is real, from last-minute scheduling gaps to extended vacancies for full-time roles.
Pago is stepping in with a purpose-built solution, a dedicated veterinarian job board designed to help clinics hire faster, more efficiently, and confidently.
The Challenge: A Growing Need for Flexible Veterinary Staffing
Veterinary medicine is evolving. Today’s clinics face new challenges:
- Sudden surges in patient demand
- Burnout among staff veterinarians
- Shortages in specialized skills
- A rising need for flexible staffing: relief vets, part-time support, and rotating technicians
Whether a rural practice needs weekend relief or a bustling urban clinic struggles to hire full-time staff, the hiring struggle is widespread. Traditional job boards aren’t cutting it; they’re too generic, too slow, and often disconnected from the unique rhythms of veterinary medicine.
Explore Pago – A Specialized Job Board for Veterinary Clinics
Unlike generic hiring platforms, Pago is built specifically for the veterinary field. It’s more than a job board; it’s a smart hiring platform that matches clinics with pre-qualified veterinarians, relief veterinarians, and veterinary techs ready to work.
Here’s what makes Pago stand out:
- Designed for Veterinary Staffing Only
- Connects Clinics with Local Relief Vets Quickly
- Supports All Roles: Full-Time, Part-Time, Relief, and Contract

Why Clinics Are Turning to Relief Veterinarians More Than Ever
Relief veterinarians are no longer just a luxury; they’re a lifeline. When full-time DVMs go on vacation, call in sick, or step away for family reasons, relief veterinarians fill in the gap without disrupting patient care.

This platform is a game-changer if you’ve ever scrambled to find last-minute coverage.
