We are looking for a Veterinary Assistant to care for pets and support Veterinarians. You’ll play an important role in bringing comfort to our furry patients and ensuring the smooth running of our facility.

You need the ability to care for them properly – that’s one of the most important Vet Assistant job requirements. This includes knowledge of routine tasks, like feeding or bathing pets, but also readiness to care for injured or scared pets that might occasionally lash out.
