Job Description

Who we are

Purdy Veterinary Hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington, is seeking an experienced Associate Veterinarian to join our collaborative, close-knit team!

Established in the 1980s, Purdy Veterinary Hospital has been a trusted part of the Gig Harbor community for decades. We've built a longstanding reputation for providing quality veterinary care while fostering meaningful relationships with our clients and their pets. Many of our team members have been with us for years, creating a welcoming, family-like atmosphere where collaboration, communication, and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do.

If you're looking for a practice where you can focus on practicing great medicine, collaborate with experienced colleagues, and enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, we'd love to meet you!

Why You'll Love Purdy Veterinary Hospital

A Supportive, Collaborative Team

Our team genuinely enjoys working together! Our veterinarians regularly collaborate on cases, share ideas, and support one another in providing the best possible care. With longstanding employees and clients who have trusted us for generations, we've created a practice culture that feels more like family.

A Well-Equipped, Established Practice

Our busy, exclusively small-animal hospital provides comprehensive veterinary care for dogs and cats. We've recently refreshed our space with new flooring and paint and continue to invest in the tools our team needs to succeed.

Our hospital features:

  • Brand-new ultrasound equipment to support diagnostic capabilities
  • Five exam rooms and a spacious treatment area
  • Dedicated surgical suite with opportunities to perform a wide variety of procedures
  • Dental treatment station, in-house laboratory area, and pharmacy
  • Paperless medical records for efficient workflows
  • Dedicated veterinary assistants, with a goal of one assistant per doctor
  • Collaborative case discussions and support from fellow veterinarians

Our appointments typically range from 15-30 minutes, with most scheduled for 30 minutes, allowing our doctors time to connect with clients and provide thoughtful, individualized care.

A Schedule That Works for You

We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and offer scheduling flexibility to accommodate different preferences.

  • Schedule: 3- or 4-day work weeks!
  • No on-call or after-hours requirements!
  • Optional surgery and dentistry: Interested in surgery or dentistry? You'll have the opportunity for a dedicated morning each week for both. Prefer to focus on appointments and medical cases? That's welcome, too!

We want our veterinarians to feel supported in practicing the medicine they enjoy most.

Experience Life in Beautiful Gig Harbor!

Imagine finishing your workday surrounded by waterfront views, scenic trails, and endless outdoor adventures. Located along the shores of Puget Sound, Gig Harbor offers the perfect blend of small-town charm, natural beauty, and convenient access to city amenities.

You can spend your weekends kayaking or boating along the harbor, exploring charming waterfront boutiques and restaurants, hiking in the nearby mountains, or heading out for a beach getaway. For those who love skiing, hiking, and exploring the outdoors, the Pacific Northwest offers something for every season.

Just across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Gig Harbor provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle while keeping the dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions of Tacoma and Seattle within reach.

  • Is passionate about delivering high-quality, compassionate care to dogs and cats
  • Enjoys working in a busy, collaborative general practice environment
  • Values teamwork, open communication, and building lasting client relationships
  • Is confident practicing independently while appreciating the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues
  • Has an interest in surgery and dentistry, although neither is required
