Overnight ER Veterinarian

Do you enjoy leading a team of highly skilled assistants and technicians? Do you enjoy managing diverse and complex cases ranging from preventative care to chronic conditions? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced environment? If YES, then we’d love to meet you and introduce you to all that Sumner Veterinary Hospital has to offer.

Sumner Veterinary Hospital is an AAHA‑accredited state‑of‑the‑art Regional Medical Facility that supports the entire South Puget Sound Region. Our General Practice team is rapidly growing, and we are looking for talented veterinarians to join our team. While we are a full‑service facility including ER and Urgent Care, this position focuses on our daytime GP role. We are looking for a doctor that can work a 3 or 4‑day schedule with one weekend day on a rotating basis.

Our team consists of 16 doctors and over 100 support staff who are committed to providing the highest standard of care and service to our clients and patients. Our veterinary team experiences a diverse caseload and has great working relationships with local specialists in the Seattle‑Tacoma area.

As a team, we are committed to creating a culture of continuing education and collaboration. Each of our veterinarians has varying interests and passions that help enhance the knowledge and collaboration during the day‑to‑day consulting of cases.

Due to our large doctor team and culture of collaboration, Sumner Veterinary Hospital can offer mentorship to newer doctors beginning their careers or wishing to elevate them. Our doctors enjoy flexible scheduling and ample time off to experience all the entertainment & recreational opportunities that Western Washington provides. Time off for travel or continuing education is readily available to further enhance a positive work‑life balance.
