Veterinarian, GP

About the role

Petcare Hospital & Wellness Center has cared for cats and dogs in Snohomish County for over 25 years. We’re adding more than one veterinarian. Full-time is the default, but we’re genuinely open to part-time for the right fit.

Schedule

No weekends. Ever. Not a rotating Saturday. Not “one weekend a month.” No weekend hours at all — and a 2:1 technician-to-DVM ratio that holds on surgery days, not just appointment days.

Medicine

• High-quality general practice for cats and dogs, with more depth than most
• Dentistry — routine cleanings through full-mouth and surgical extractions and oral surgery
• Two of our doctors have extensive dental CE, and other practices refer this work to us
• Soft tissue surgery — everyday procedures through advanced cases including gastropexies and splenectomies
• Diagnostics and treatment — in-house lab, radiography, ultrasound, and therapeutic laser used regularly
• Health certificates — national and international; we get local referrals for them, but they aren’t required of every doctor here
• If the advanced dentistry and surgery are things you want to learn rather than things you already do, we’re happy to teach and mentor
• If you arrive with an area of interest already — feline medicine, ultrasound, behavior, something else — we’d rather help you expand it than ask you to set it aside

The Practice

• Every veterinarian on staff is Fear Free certified — not one designated doctor, all of us
• Appointments are paced to allow Fear Free
• We have a feline-only treatment room, so cats aren’t drawn and treated beside barking dogs
• Our technicians and client service team have been here for years, and clients ask for them by name
• Many of those clients have been with us through generations of their pets
• We also care for the Seattle Police Department K-9 unit — a small but welcome part of the caseload

Location

Bothell and Mill Creek sit twenty miles north of Seattle: established neighborhoods, strong schools, the Cascades and Puget Sound within an afternoon, and a cost of living well below the city.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation, negotiable based on credentials and experience with an annual PROSAL full-time range starting at $130,000/year; the actual salary offered will carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, experience, and location
• Production opportunity with no negative accrual
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid time off, including 8 weeks of full-pay parental leave
• CE funds and free courses, plus licensing and liability insurance covered
• Thrive Pet Healthcare network — specialists to consult with, and pet perks at all locations

Requirements

• DVM/VMD or equivalent
• Washington State Veterinary Board license in good standing prior to start
• Active DEA license or DEA eligibility
• Fear Free certification, or willingness to certify after hire — we’ll support you through it
• Two years of practice preferred
