Job Description
Seeking a hard working, team oriented person to join our crew. The job includes a mix of reception work and veterinary assistant work. You will be answering phones, checking clients out, and scheduling appointments. Equally as much you will be reviewing estimates and helping with client education, drawing blood, restraining pets, running diagnostics, and cleaning up after pets. It is a typically fast paced, physical job (in and out of floor and holding pets, carrying cases or bags of food for clients) but we are a close group and make the work day fun. While prior experience is helpful it is not required by any means. Most staff members learn on the go how to do all the above tasks.
