  • Performing blood draws, IV catheter placement, radiographs, lab work, dental procedures and nursing care
  • Managing hospitalized and critical care patients
  • Educating pet parents and making sure they feel informed and supported
  • Helping maintain inventory, treatment protocols, and medical standards
  • Advocating for both patients and your team every single day

🐶 Why People Love Working Here:

  • You actually get to use your skills and grow them
  • Supportive leadership that values your experience and ideas
  • Team culture that’s collaborative, positive and drama-free
  • Opportunity to work with advanced medicine and integrative therapies
  • Fast-paced environment where every day is different
  • Coworkers who genuinely care about pets, clients, and each other
  • A clinic that believes veterinary technicians are essential, respected, and appreciated 💅

  • Previous veterinary experience required
  • Leadership or management experience strongly preferred
  • Strong communication and conflict-resolution skills
  • Ability to multitask and stay organized in a busy environment
  • Passion for mentorship, teamwork, and patient advocacy
  • Interest or experience in surgery, dentistry, anesthesia, rehab, acupuncture, or laser therapy is a huge plus

✨ Bonus Points If You:

  • Love mentoring newer team members
  • Thrive in fast-paced environments
  • Can balance leadership with compassion
  • Bring positive energy even on the crazy days
  • Are passionate about gold-standard medicine and patient care

💖 What We Offer:
