Are you looking for a veterinary career where you can practice high-quality medicine, collaborate with a supportive team, and still have time for life outside of work?

We are seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join our fast-paced, privately owned small animal practice serving our community since 1978. We strive to meet the needs of pets through all life stages by focusing on wellness and preventative care, while also providing urgent care, surgery, and dental services, all while building lasting relationships with our clients and their pets.

About Our Community
We are proud to call Washington, North Carolina home—a charming riverfront town known for its welcoming atmosphere and high quality of life. Located along the Pamlico-Tar River, Washington offers beautiful waterfront views, outdoor recreation, and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. The area features a thriving downtown with unique shops, local art, and great restaurants, all within a close-knit community setting.

Residents enjoy easy access to a nearby state park, boating, fishing, and countless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Washington combines the best of small-town living with the convenience of modern amenities, making it an ideal place to build both a career and a life.

What You'll Find Here
No weekends – enjoy a schedule that supports work-life balance
General practice and urgent care – experience a diverse and engaging caseload
Preventative care focus – help pets live longer, healthier lives through proactive medicine
Collaborative medicine – work alongside an experienced team that values communication, teamwork, and shared knowledge
Fast-paced environment – stay challenged with a variety of cases and opportunities to grow
Privately owned & woman owned – be part of an independent practice where decisions are made locally
Ownership opportunity – potential for the right veterinarian to grow into practice ownership


Equipment & Facilities
Our hospital is equipped to support high-quality medicine, diagnostics, dentistry, and surgery, including:

Samsung ultrasound
Digital X-ray with AI review

Who We're Looking For

Both experienced veterinarians and new graduates are encouraged to apply. We value collaboration and professional growth and want our doctors to feel supported as they develop their skills and pursue their professional interests.

Build a Career With Us
