About Pawspact Pawspact is a premium pet-family veterinary clinic in Abu Dhabi, built on a single idea: a pact. Pact comes from the Latin pactum — a binding promise, held sacred by both parties. Ours is a promise to tell families the truth about their pet's health, to price our care transparently so no one is ever ambushed by a bill, and to treat every animal on the exam table the way we'd treat our own.
We're a growing ecosystem — the Pawspact clinic, Refqan.ae, and Relocate MyPet.ae — grounded in advanced animal welfare training and evidence-based medicine. Our clinical team is led by senior veterinarians with international postgraduate credentials, and we're open 7 days a week.
The Role We're looking for a veterinarian who is as confident in the operating theatre as in the consult room. This is not a spay-and-vaccinate role: you'll carry a full soft-tissue surgical caseload (orthopedics not required — we refer those cases) alongside consultations, diagnostics, and dentistry, with the backing of an experienced clinical team and a practice culture that never pressures you to upsell. At Pawspact, the treatment plan you recommend is the one the pet actually needs.
What You'll DoRun 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 — abdominal (foreign body, cystotomy, splenectomy), mass removals, hernia repairs, urogenital surgery, wound reconstruction — plus dental procedures and extractions (orthopedics is not expected; those cases are referred) Own the full surgical journey: pre-operative work-up, anaesthesia planning with the nursing team, and post-operative pain management and recheck follow-up Communicate honestly and clearly with pet parents: real diagnoses, real options, transparent quotes before treatment begins 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 and medically reviewed content Collaborate daily with our senior veterinary team and nursing staff — case discussions are part of how we practice 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 UAE5+ years of small animal clinical experience with a strong, demonstrable surgical record Independent competence in advanced soft-tissue surgery well beyond routine spay/neuter — please be ready to discuss your surgical caseload at interview (orthopedic skills welcome but not required) 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); you can deliver hard news with honesty and kindness Commitment to low-stress, welfare-centred handling of patients Postgraduate surgical credentials or a special interest area (surgery, dentistry, imaging, feline medicine) are a strong plus — we'll help you develop them further What We Offer Competitive salary package with medical insurance, annual flights, and UAE employment visa CPD support — we invest in continuing education, because raising our standards is part of the pact 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 (clinic, relocation services, community programmes) How to Apply Send your CV, MOCCAE license status, and a summary of your surgical caseload (types of procedures and approximate volumes) to [Click to show email] — or apply directly through Linked In.
