About the job
Our partners are seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join a thriving, fast-paced small animal practice in Kelso, WA.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys staying busy, values case variety, and wants to continue developing strong medical and surgical skills in a supportive, well-resourced environment.
This hospital serves as a cornerstone of veterinary care for its community. You’ll see everything from routine wellness and preventative care to complex medical, urgent, and surgical cases, making this an ideal role for a DVM who wants to grow, stay challenged, and be well-rewarded for their effort.
The clinic supports a broad demographic base, resulting in an exceptional diversity of cases and clinical experiences. The team is enthusiastic, collaborative, and led by a highly respected Principal Doctor with a long-standing track record of building strong, successful teams.
Outside of work, Kelso offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure and city access, with forests, trails, and wildlife at your doorstep, and easy drives to Vancouver, WA, and Portland, OR for dining, culture, and entertainment.
