Dr. King worked as an associate veterinarian for a mixed animal practice in Spokane, Washington, for three years. He left this position to start Kootenai Animal Hospital in Post Falls, Idaho, in 1998. The hospital provided care to all species of animals. The hospital was the first in northern Idaho to gain accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Dr. King served as the hospital's medical director. Before selling his ownership in the hospital in 2002, it had grown to employ 3 doctors and 15 support staff, providing general and emergency care to dogs and cats 7 days a week. Planning and preparation for Lakewood Animal Hospital began in late 2002, and construction commenced in the summer of 2003. Dr. King served as the primary staff veterinarian for the Western Montana Small Animal Emergency Clinic in Missoula, Montana, during 2003 while the new hospital was under construction
