VCA Alderwood Companion Animal Hospital is a thriving, five-doctor practice, open 6 days per week. Despite being a larger practice, we maintain strong client relationships and a family practice feel in all that we do. We provide care for our patients from their first puppy or kitten visit to their final days. We are passionate about the pets of Snohomish and King County, and if you are too, then come join us!

We provide high-quality medical care to our patients, and this has helped us create a solid team. Our hospital has some amazing longevity rarely found in veterinary medicine. Our Medical Director has been with the practice for over 15 years, our Lead Technician has been with us for over 10 years and one of our CSR's has been with us for over 20 years! VCA Alderwood is where you can find a home!

Despite how busy our practice is, we focus on working together as a team and enjoying the work that we do. We know that the work we do is hard and emotionally draining sometimes so we focus on creating a fun environment. We periodically have competitions (our next is a poop competition), we have games such as positivity bingo and get-to-know-each-other word searches, and we often have team meals provided to us. Our team loves to chat and joke around so someone with an outgoing personality would do well at our clinic.

Lynnwood is an exciting and expanding part of Western Washington. We have easy access to the big city delights of Seattle but also the quiet beaches of Snohomish County and the glorious hikes of King, Snohomish, and Skagit County. We also have several keen hikers on our team so we can give lots of recommendations.
