Associate Veterinarian - Urgent Care

About You

You want to practice urgent care medicine and still go home at the end of your shift. You can care for pets throughout every stage of their lives, build lasting relationships with clients, and become a trusted part of the local community. Veterinarians here work four ten-hour shifts a week with three days off, and no overnight hospitalization or surgical caseload.

About Three Creeks Veterinary Clinic

We're an outpatient urgent care clinic in the Salmon Creek area of Vancouver, Washington, focusing on same-day care for dogs and cats: eye and ear infections, wounds and laceration repairs, GI and general illness, sedation, in-house diagnostics, and day fluid therapy. Our hospital is small on purpose — three exam rooms, a 2:1 support ratio, and a close, low-drama team where everyone picks up slack on a busy day. We pride ourselves on delivering good medicine at a quick pace and working together as a team to care for our patients. Collaboration, communication, and a willingness to learn and teach are all equally important. We serve the Vancouver, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, and the greater Portland metro area.

At Three Creeks Veterinary Clinic, a Thrive Pet Healthcare partner, you will have the support, tools, and resources to elevate your skills. As a hospital deeply rooted in the local community, you will experience the best of both worlds: a genuine local culture with the benefits of Thrive's national resources.
