Veterinarian Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a veterinarian in Pennsylvania?
You must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an AVMA-accredited program and then obtain licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Veterinary Medicine, which requires passing the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination and the Pennsylvania Veterinary Law Examination. Applications are submitted to the State Board, which sits under the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. Veterinarians who hold an active license in another state may apply for Pennsylvania licensure by endorsement.
How much do veterinarians make in Pennsylvania?
Veterinarians in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $133,520 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,780 for the lowest 10% to over $268,870 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire veterinarians in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania veterinarian roles are posted by DESORT STAFFING, Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, and IndeVets and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's mix of urban specialty hospitals, rural mixed practices, and anchor institutions like the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine creates a wide range of employer types across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most veterinarian jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown account for the most veterinarian openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense urban pet population and the presence of major referral and specialty hospitals, while Pittsburgh's growing suburban corridor supports a strong network of general and emergency practices, and smaller metro areas reflect demand from both companion animal clinics and the agricultural communities that rely on large animal and mixed-practice veterinarians.
Are there remote veterinarian jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. About 50% of veterinarian openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most clinical roles. The positions most likely to carry a remote or hybrid component are veterinary telehealth consultations, medical director advisory roles, and insurance or pharmaceutical industry positions that draw on a veterinarian's clinical credentials.
How can I get hired as a veterinarian in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a rotating or specialty internship at a Pennsylvania referral hospital, such as those offered through the University of Pennsylvania Ryan Veterinary Hospital or BluePearl's network, which accept new graduates and provide structured supervised caseloads. General practice associate roles at corporate groups operating across the state regularly hire new graduates with a Pennsylvania license in hand. Candidates without a completed DVM can build toward veterinary careers through licensed veterinary technician roles, which demonstrate hands-on clinical competency and often lead to internal referrals once degree requirements are met.
Where can I find and apply to veterinarian jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to veterinarian jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
