We are looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated, and collaborative veterinarian to join our amazing team of equine practitioners at Mount Vernon Veterinary Hospital in Mount Vernon, Washington. 

This position is primarily ambulatory and comes with a fully stocked pickup with vet insert. Desired interest and skills include lameness, internal medicine, repro, dentistry, regenerative medicine, field surgery, communication, and community outreach.

Our leadership team is young and vibrant which is why we have experienced phenomenal growth in the equine department the past two years. You will also have the support and collaboration of 5 experienced equine veterinarians in our group!!!! The on-call rotation is shared equally with all the equine veterinarians.

We have an extensive complement of diagnostic equipment available which includes digital x-ray (fixed and 3 portable units), 2 GE digital ultrasounds, endoscopy (including a 3 meter gastroscope), Powerfloat dental equipment, in house Abaxis lab equipment, and twice daily pickups for Antech reference lab. Recently we incorporated ProStride in our practice as we expand our regenerative medicine capabilities. In addition, we have a gorgeous full surgical suite, recovery stall and an 8-stall hospital facility with outdoor pens and fenced lunging area. For more extensive procedures including MRI and colic surgeries we have a large referral hospital less than an hour away.

We are in beautiful Northwest Washington, 60 miles north of Seattle. Our location offers accessibility to hiking, snow skiing, watersports, big city life, and so much more all within doable daily travels. For families, there are many sport, art, recreational, and educational opportunities available all with a community feel. The area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts as we are close to the water – salt water and fresh water, the mountains and the beautiful Skagit Valley and San Juan Islands. It is green year around here in the Pacific Northwest. And if the lights of the big city and its cultural activities are what you are interested in, Seattle is only an hour away.

We encourage participation in community activities including client education seminars, vaccination clinics, presentations to pony clubs, Kiwanis, Rotary, etc. We also are actively engaged in social media via Facebook, Twitter, and our website. Our marketing person and equine vet assistant provides support in this area and is very active herself in the horse community. We are a long-established part of the Snohomish, Skagit, and Island County communities.

At Mount Vernon we take the health and well-being of our employees seriously, offering flexible working conditions and encouraging a well-rounded work/life balance. We offer a great compensation package, including a competitive salary, health insurance, 401K, PTO, generous CE allowance, additional PTO for CE, reimbursement for membership dues and license fees, VIN membership, and a discount with VetGirl.

Mount Vernon is a part of the PetVet Care Centers network; where each network hospital is unique and connected to its community. If this sounds like a team you want to be a part of, please email your resume to Dr. Sarah Bird or apply online.
