Thrive Pet Healthcare Careers

OUR PRACTICE

At CARE Veterinary Center, we provide 24/7 emergency and specialty care to dogs and cats in the DC metropolitan and the MD, WV, and PA tri-state area. We offer Internal Medicine, Surgery, Rehabilitation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

We have a highly trained and qualified staff of veterinarians to treat your animals. Our goal is to not do what a primary care veterinarian does but to complement what they do.

We have specialists in a variety of service areas including surgery, orthopedic surgery, internal medicine, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and pain management. Our specialists are available by appointment on weekdays and are always on-call for emergencies. Our office also offers 24/7 language interpreters, so we can support our clients and pets during their time in need.

This team will showcase top-quality veterinary medicine, benefit from a strong local referral network, and embody the type of core values that support:   

• An emotionally intelligent work environment
• A positive work/life balance
• Veterinary leaders in our community
• Teamwork and collaboration

OUR HOME
