Small Animal Veterinarian; GP​/Urgent Care

The Village Veterinarian, located in Chelan Washington, is looking for a Small Animal Associate Veterinarian to join our team. Our practice is deeply rooted in teamwork, adaptability, and a shared passion for veterinary medicine. We’re not just coworkers – we’re a team that values humor, support, shared learning and growth in order to navigate the challenges of the industry. Our dynamic caseload and supportive mentorship makes our hospital an ideal place for both experienced veterinarians and new graduates who are looking to grow their skills.

If you’re looking for a collaborative, innovative practice that provides general and urgent care services, we’d love to meet you!

At The Village Vet, we believe in providing the best standard of care possible while continuously growing and learning as a team. We’ve invested in modern technology and are always open to expanding our services beyond what we currently offer, such as alternative medicine and rehabilitation.

We are deeply connected to the Chelan community, taking pride in our strong relationships with our clients and their pets. As one of the few hospitals in the area offering both general practice and urgent care medicine, while maintaining our gold-standard patient care, we always come through.

What sets The Village Veterinarian apart is our strong connection to the community and our ability to provide both general practice and urgent care services in an area where emergency options are limited. This means that we see a diverse caseload, where any two days are not the same. Our team is passionate, adaptable, and always eager to learn and grow, ensuring we offer the highest standard of care with a modern, progressive approach.

We prioritize hiring for culture as much as skill, fostering a supportive and close-knit environment where teamwork and humor help us navigate the challenges of veterinary medicine together.

Located just two blocks from the stunning Lake Chelan, The Village Veterinarian is surrounded by breathtaking scenery and endless outdoor activities.

The clinic is also close to Leavenworth, a charming Bavarian-style town known for its festive holiday atmosphere and year-round attractions.

While Chelan offers the charm of a small-town community, it’s also a popular destination with plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Whether you’re looking for adventure or a peaceful place to call home, this area has something for everyone.
