Emergency Veterinarian | North Seattle / Snohomish County, WA | $180K–$250K ProSal Up to $50K Sign-On | $20K Relocation | Overnight ER | No Negative Accrual The Opportunity A well-established 24/7 small animal emergency hospital north of Seattle is seeking a full-time Overnight Emergency Veterinarian to join its experienced clinical team. This is an opportunity for an ER veterinarian who wants to practice true emergency and critical care with the resources, support, and collaborative environment needed to manage challenging cases confidently. The hospital provides around-the-clock emergency care while also offering general practice and integrative services, creating a diverse clinical environment with continuity of care and access to additional veterinary resources. Compensation • $180,000–$250,000 annual ProSal range • Production compensation with no negative accrual • Sign-on bonus up to $50,000 • Relocation assistance up to $20,000, when applicable • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance • 401(k) with employer match • Annual paid time off • Annual CE stipend • Dedicated CE PTO • Mental health and wellness resources • 8 weeks paid parental leave • Veterinary-service and pet-care discounts The final compensation package will depend on experience, qualifications, skills, and other applicable factors. The ER Opportunity You'll be part of a hospital providing 24/7 emergency and critical care for small animal patients. The position is specifically focused on overnight emergency coverage, giving you the opportunity to manage a broad range of acute and complex cases. Depending on case presentation and experience, your work may include: • Emergency stabilization • Critical patient management • Acute medical cases • Trauma • Emergency diagnostics • Hospitalized patient management • Emergency procedures • Surgical case assessment and management • Client communication during high-stress situations • Collaboration with other veterinarians and referral resources Specialty Collaboration While specialists are not physically located within the hospital, the ER team works closely with specialty colleagues at a nearby affiliated specialty hospital. That relationship provides access to additional expertise and referral resources when patients require specialty-level care. I would be very clear about this distinction in our posting rather than suggesting this is an onsite ER + specialty hospital. Clinical Environment The hospital has been serving the surrounding community for decades and provides both primary and 24/7 emergency veterinary care. In addition to emergency medicine, the broader hospital offers rehabilitation and integrative services. You'll work alongside an established veterinary and support team with access to the resources necessary to provide high-quality emergency medicine. Schedule • Full-time position • Overnight ER schedule • 24/7 hospital environment The original posting does not specify the exact number of shifts per week, shift length, or rotation structure, so I would leave those details for discussion rather than assuming a traditional three-shift ER schedule. Who We're Looking For • DVM, VMD, or equivalent degree • Washington veterinary license or ability to obtain one before starting • Active DEA license or eligibility • Emergency medicine experience strongly preferred Relevant experience could include: • Emergency veterinary practice • Small animal rotating internship • Emergency-focused internship • Urgent or high-acuity clinical experience The source says ER experience or internship training is strongly recommended rather than making a specific number of years mandatory, so I would keep the candidate pool open. Professional Development You'll have access to continuing education and professional development resources designed specifically to support veterinarians throughout their careers. Support includes: • Annual CE stipend • Dedicated CE PTO • Clinical education resources • Mentorship resources • Access to veterinary specialists and clinical leaders • Opportunities for continued professional development Why Consider This Opportunity For an ER veterinarian, the compensation package immediately stands out: $180K–$250K ProSal, up to a $50K sign-on bonus, up to $20K in relocation assistance, and no negative accrual. But there's also a strong clinical story. You'll practice true 24/7 emergency medicine in an established hospital with a dedicated support team and access to specialty expertise through a nearby affiliated specialty hospital.
