Experienced Veterinarian | Small Animal GP | Full-Time | Kelso, WA

At FurEver Talent Partners, we focus on thoughtful matches where people, purpose, and care truly connect. We are proud to partner with veterinary practices that prioritize people, medicine, and long-term fit.

We're currently supporting a busy, well-established small animal general practice in Kelso, Washington that's looking to welcome an Experienced Veterinarian to their collaborative and fast-paced team. This is an excellent opportunity for a DVM who enjoys staying busy, values strong clinical support, and wants both earning potential and a lifestyle upgrade.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This practice offers high patient demand, excellent staff retention, and strong leadership — creating an environment where motivated veterinarians can thrive clinically and financially, while also enjoying the quality-of-life Washington State has to offer.

The Practice Environment

• Established 4-doctor small animal general practice
• Open to DVMs interested in seeing exotics (optional)
• Strong ~2:1 technician-to-DVM ratio, including licensed technicians and kennel assistants
• 82%+ support staff retention rate, reflecting a healthy and supportive culture
• Consistently busy with no slow days
• Minimal local competition, allowing for continuity of care and diverse case exposure

Medicine, Surgery & Tools

• Broad case mix including wellness, endocrine, geriatric, and urgent care cases
• Strong surgical caseload with continued mentorship available
• Soft tissue surgeries (foreign bodies, pyometras, blockages, GDV, cystotomies, & more)
• Dentals with extractions
• High-end ultrasound with trained technical support
• Advanced in-house diagnostics and reference lab access
• AI scribe to reduce documentation time
• Wellness plans offering preventative care through monthly payment options

Leadership & Team
Led by a tenured Principal Doctor with a mentorship-driven, collaborative leadership style, this hospital is supported by an engaged and enthusiastic team and grounded in a culture that prioritizes teamwork, communication, and high-quality medicine.

Compensation, Benefits & Relocation

• Base salary up to $200K+ with production upside (no negative accrual)
• Sign-on bonus & relocation package available
• Full benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, generous PTO, CE allowance, license reimbursement, and pet care perks

Kelso is a welcoming community in Southwest Washington, offering an exceptional balance of affordability, outdoor access, and proximity to major metro areas — making it an ideal destination for veterinarians looking to relocate. And with no state income tax in Washington, many veterinarians find their compensation stretches further here — especially when paired with a strong salary and relocation support.
