  • Administer medications and treatments as directed and permitted by state regulations.
  • Assist with laboratory sample collection, processing, and recordkeeping.
  • Educate pet parents on preventative care, medications, nutrition, and treatment plans.
  • Maintain cleanliness throughout the hospital, stock supplies, and help keep operations running smoothly.
  • Build strong relationships with clients through empathy, professionalism, and excellent communication.
  • Be an advocate for patient comfort, safety, and exceptional veterinary care.

You have:

  • A minimum of 2 years of Veterinary Assistant experience (required).
  • Experience working in a veterinary hospital or clinical setting.
  • Strong patient handling and animal restraint skills.
  • Excellent communication and client service abilities.
  • A positive attitude and team-first mindset.
  • The ability to stay organized and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality patient care.
  • A genuine love for animals and the people who love them.

🎉 Why You'll Love It Here

  • Competitive compensation (depending on experience) including base pay and 401(k) match.
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits that start on day one.
  • Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work.
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) because we truly believe in a TREAT YOURSELF mentality.
