Veterinarian

Associate Equine veterinarian - Snohomish, WA (Greater Seattle/Puget Sound) $110,000 - $130,000 Base Salary + Production, No Negative Accrual Ambulatory Freedom, Specialist Backup Where field practice meets a full referral hospital Ever wished you could practice the hands-on, relationship-driven ambulatory medicine you love-without ever being the last line of defense? At Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital, the road ends at a fully staffed equine referral hospital, not at your truck. When your farm call turns into a colic, our board-certified surgeons and internists are minutes away or call away, not a trailer-ride-and-a-prayer down the highway. Caring for horses in the Puget Sound since 1963, we’ve built one of the country’s largest multi-species practices-and we’re looking for an ambulatory doctor who wants to serve an amazing community with a specialist team standing behind every case. What You Get: Established Referral Backup, On Day One: Practice ambulatory medicine knowing three board-certified surgeons (DACVS-LA), a board-certified internist(DACVIM), and an integrative medicine team are behind you-plus 24-hour nursing care and two surgical suites. A 23-Acre Home Base: Work from a facility built for horses-four digital X-ray units, 1.5m and 3.3m endoscopy, two portable ultrasound units, MRI, shockwave, equine sling, and a reference-quality In-house lab Elite, Everyday Mentorship: Our doctors are known as teachers. Whether you’re a new grad or seasoned DVM, you’ll case-manage alongside specialists who genuinely enjoy sharing knowledge-a “doctors doctor” environment. A Consistent Schedule: Practice is open Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, with ambulatory emergency coverage on a shared rotation-because the on-call load is spread across our team, you’ll have time to focus on what’s important outside the clinic Progressive Compensation : Competitive base salary with production opportunity and No Negative Accrual-your safety net is never a debt. Sign-On Bonus + Industry-Leading Relocation Package Bring your dog to work at our daycare! What You’ll Do: Build Lasting Relationships: Get to know the family and care for the horse year after year-from preventative and geriatric care to being the first call when something just feels wrong Practice Full-Scope Ambulatory Medicine: Farm calls and haul-in appointments across a caseload focused on preventive and geriatric care, with room to develop interests in dentistry, reproduction, podiatry, sports medicine, and imaging. Collaborate, Don’t Go It Alone: Refer seamlessly to on-site surgery and internal medicine, and lean on integrative options (acupuncture, chiropractic) when they serve the patient. Serve a Loyal Community: Care for the horses across Snohomish, Arlington, Marysville, Monroe, Lake Stevens, Duvall, Everett, and the greater Puget Sound.
