Veterinary Assistant

About the Role

For those who want to put their love of pets into action, there are few jobs more rewarding than that of a Veterinary Assistant at Banfield Pet Hospital. While working closely with other pet health care professionals, you'll have the chance to advocate for pets and educate clients on all aspects of pet health. If your goal is to advance in your career, you'll have access to a variety of learning and development opportunities along the way.

As a key member of the hospital team, the Veterinary Assistant supports and assists veterinarians and veterinary technicians, ensuring the safety of pets, clients, and other associates, and the continuity of quality veterinary care. You will provide professional, efficient, and exceptional service at all times, making sure that clients and pets are comfortable in the hospital.

A Day in the Life

You will use your technical skills on a daily basis within state practice acts and as outlined in the NAVTA guidelines. Your day involves helping maintain the flow of patients, communicating with the veterinarian and vet techs, and carrying out or setting up procedures that do not require veterinarian or vet tech assistance. You will adhere to hospital standards that keep pets safe and ensure treatment areas, exam rooms, and labs are clean and organized. Additionally, you will educate clients about Optimum Wellness Plans® and the importance of preventive care, while mentoring other members of the hospital team.
