Beaverton Pet Clinic is proud to be a part of the local community for over 25 years. We are currently a 5-doctor hospital with roughly 15 additional support staff, and are continuing to grow and expand. With this in mind, we recently moved into a larger, newly renovated space just down the street from our current facility and are excited to add to our rockstar team!

Ideal applicants will have at least 1-2 years of general practice experience, but we are open to training the right person.

• Client education

What’s most important to us is maintaining our excellent culture which is done through sense of humor, mild sass, flexibility, laughter, teamwork, and communication.

We are closed on Sundays and see our last appointment at 5:15pm during the week, which allows our staff ample time away from the hospital to recharge.

We are a part of the MVP/SVP (Mission Veterinary Partners/Southern Veterinary Partners) hospital network, which means we strive to be the employer of choice in veterinary medicine. We offer a generous compensation package as well as retirement plans and a variety of other supplemental benefit options that include: Health, Dental, Vision, paid maternity leave, paid time off, flexible holiday pay, and pet care discounts.
