Seattle’s Employer of Choice

We believe in reimagining the way we care for our team members. Part of being Authentically Human is recognizing that there is more to employment than just coming in and doing your job. It’s about meeting your needs so that you can live the life you deserve. That’s why we have built our Total Rewards Program.

What is total rewards?

Total Rewards is the combination of benefits, compensation and rewards that employees receive from Cara veterinary.

It means living wages for ALL employees. It means compensation that you can be excited about. It means investing in you, your development, and your happiness.

Find the RIGHT plan for you and your family.

  • Vision insurance is included in our medical insurance policies.
  • Two dental insurance plans to choose from; one of which Cara pays 100% of the premium for you.
  • A Health Savings Account and a Flexible Spending Account.

Development and Career Growth

  • The veterinary industry has notoriously focused on providing continuing education to only the licensed individuals in our industry, and that’s just not ok with us. Don’t get us wrong, we are invested in our licensed individuals (we love you techs and DVMs), but what about the rest of the amazing people on our teams? We are committed to revolutionizing the veterinary industry, which is why we offer every single Team Member a Professional Development Reimbursement every year of their employment.
  • Annual Performance Reviews are a thing of the past! Instead of waiting for you and your leader to sit down once a year, we take a proactive approach and have routine one-on-one meetings.
  • During those one-on-one meetings we check in on how your annual development plan is going. Development plans are our tools to document all the amazing things you have done throughout the year to develop your skillsets, exemplify the pillars, and help your location grow.
  • We are growing at a steady pace, and with growth comes amazing career opportunities. Our Team Members work hard to develop themselves and we want to recognize those individuals with stretch assignments and promotions. Our leaders routinely sit down with their Team Members to talk about their possible career path within Cara.

We invest in YOU

  • 401(k) plus employer match
  • Annual Professional Development Reimbursement is offered to all Team Members, no matter their position.
  • The cost of scrubs can add up, which is why every hospital team member is provided up to four sets of scrubs every year.

We help you be Authentically Human

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Our EAP can help support you with a wide variety of topics: 24-hour crisis support, mental health support, financial resources, legal resources, mediation, etc.

Love your work, love your life

  • We offer a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy to all Team Members, including part-time Team Members
  • Let’s celebrate you with a Birthday PTO
  • Paid Holidays
  • We offer various paid and unpaid leave policies for when you need to care for yourself or a new/ existing family member

We want to help you Put your Pet(s) First

We shake things up

  • We are constantly looking for new and creative benefits to offer our team members to make their lives just a little bit better. An example of this is that we provide a free DashPass membership from DoorDash to all Cara Veterinary team members. Don’t want to make dinner when you get home from work? No problem, your DashPass membership will significantly reduce or even eliminate delivery fees. Now the question is who will get home first, you or your dinner?
