Livewell Animal Urgent Care of Bothell is making final preparations to begin serving the Bothell community later this month. It will open under the leadership of Founding DVM Dr. Steven Beil and Hospital Manager Candy Cooper. Together, they’ve built a hospital where high-quality medicine and a truly supportive culture go hand-in-hand.
We invite you to consider joining the team as our very first Associate DVM. This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a hospital’s legacy from the ground up. You won’t just fill a role—you’ll help set the pace, shape the culture, and influence how our care is delivered for years to come.
Our urgent care model bridges the gap between general practice and emergency. We’re here for pets who can’t wait for a regular appointment, but don’t need full ER hospitalization.
That means interesting cases, steady variety, and no overnights!
You’ll work alongside a leadership team deeply committed to collaboration, mentorship, and joy in our work. At Livewell, we believe a happy, cohesive team delivers the best medicine.
Why you’ll love this role:
- Be part of the hospital’s story as our very first associate
- Influence our culture, workflows, and client experience
- Enjoy a varied caseload without overnight shifts
- Practice with full medical autonomy and strong peer support
- Join a leadership team that puts people first
Why Bothell?
Living and working in Bothell means enjoying a close-knit community feel while still having all the amenities of a central metro area within reach. It’s an area that supports a balanced lifestyle—one where you can pursue your career in veterinary medicine and still make the most of your time outside the hospital.
If you’re ready to make an impact, grow your skills, and help write Livewell Animal Urgent Care’s story, we’d love to meet you.
