Urgent Care Veterinarian

PawDoc • Tacoma, WA

1d • $120,000 - $150,000 • Onsite

About The Position

PawDoc Urgent Care and Surgery Dental Center is opening a brand-new center in Tacoma, Washington, in January 2027. This center will bridge the gap between general practice and emergency/overnight care, offering non-life-threatening urgent care for pets in need. This role is ideal for emergency veterinarians seeking to step away from high-acuity ER shifts, experienced general practitioners looking to broaden their scope, or newer veterinarians seeking hands-on experience in a supportive culture. The company is committed to an employee-first culture where every team member is valued, supported, and empowered, fostering collaboration and mentorship. They are reimagining veterinary care to be more accessible, transparent, and stress-free, combining high-quality medicine with a concierge-style experience. The client-centric approach emphasizes convenience and connection, with digital onboarding, real-time SMS updates, and a reception-less, open lobby designed for personal welcomes and in-depth client consultations. The focus is on creating a personalized partnership in care, centering the human-animal bond.
