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 winners of the “Best of the South Sound” Award (thanks, South Sound Magazine!), and we’re just getting started.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us:

• 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.

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—is 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.
