Retreat to Eastern Washington where nature is beautiful, your mind is at peace, the people around you are happy, and you have the chance to experience all four seasons!

Chewelah Veterinary Clinic has a wonderful opportunity for an early career veterinarian or experienced DVM to join our team. We’re an excellent choice for doctors who enjoy mixed animal medicine and would like to collaborate with a multi-doctor DVM team.

At Chewelah Vet, there isn’t much we don’t do! We treat household pets, farm animals, and exotics, and even dabble in wildlife rehabilitation (we’ve treated bear cubs and squirrels!) Don’t let our small-town community fool you, veterinary medicine in Chewelah is exciting and no two days are exactly the same.

As our newest associate, you’ll join our 3-doctor team and will receive full support from our talented support staff. We’d love to welcome a mixed animal doctor, however, we’re also open to small animal veterinarians who would like to advance their large animal knowledge and skillset. This is a full-time or part-time role, ideally comprised of flexible weekday coverage (4-10s) and shared Saturdays/on-call services.

Our investment in YOU:

• Generous salary DOE
• Exciting bonus/relocation program
• 50% of all ER fees (higher for afterhour services)
• Generous PTO with rollover
• 401(k) options
• Uniform allowance
• Personal pet discounts
• Paid parental leave/bonding time
• Medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents (with HSA option)
• Annual CE allowance (with days to attend)
• Professional development assistance
• Structured mentorship program for new graduates and early career doctors
• Guidance from a talented Medical Advisory Board
• Investment in your interests (annual ski pass, National Park pass, charity donation, etc.)
• Progressive practice with a commitment to creating an inclusive team culture that values diversity and compassion
• Plus much more!

Imagine your life in Eastern Washington!

We think the local paper said it best…Chewelah is so unique, nobody outside of Washington can probably pronounce the name. Despite everybody confusing us with a Star Wars wookie, our town was the fastest growing city in Stevens County since the last census, and it’s easy to see why. When trying to describe Chewelah, it can be tough. It’s quirky and there is no place quite like it…

• Chewelah has been ranked as the No. 6 silliest town name in Washington
• The town was once the site of the largest magnesite plant in the country during WWI. You could say, it was the steel backbone of the nation during the war
• Chewelah is actually the twin cities...move over Minnesota! Thanks to the Chewelah Golf and Country Club (which has a community considered part of the city), Chewelah is actually two separate city limit areas
• Our town is comprised of farmers, loggers, hippies, artists and possibly a Loch Ness monster (aka the legendary “Chewie” monster)
• The deer use the cross walk (we’re not sure why)
