About the Role

Love medicine, but hate burnout? Crave coastline views AND a clinic with real character? You just found your unicorn job.
At Purdy Veterinary Hospital, we’re looking for an experienced DVM to join our warm, weird (in the best way), and wildly talented team. We’re not just another pretty clinic—we’re 2024’s “Best of the South Sound” (thanks, South Sound Magazine!), and we’re just getting started.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us:
- Medicine You’re Proud Of: From surgery to dentistry, diagnostics to derm—we do it all, and we do it WELL. You'll work alongside smart, kind, highly skilled humans who’ve got your back.
- Support Staff Dream Team: Our techs and assistants are legit rockstars. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
- Charming Facility, Modern Tools: Advanced in-house diagnostics, digital x-ray, surgical suite, and pharmacy—all in a cozy, coastal setting.
- Weekends Done Right: We’re open Saturdays, but rotate shifts to keep your life yours.
- Clients Who Get It: Seriously. Our clients are kind, loyal, and bring us cookies. (No, really.)
Where We Are
About Gig Harbor (aka PNW Paradise):
- Waterfront views, salty sea air, and seal sightings just down the street? Yes, please.
- Kayaking, hiking, paddleboarding, or just watching the sunset with a local IPA—it's all part of the lifestyle here.
- We’ve got amazing schools, indie shops, tasty eats, a fly-fishing store (!!!), and the kind of community that remembers your name.
- Plus: harbor seals, starfish, sea lions, and the occasional orca. It's basically a Disney movie.
