What does an animal consultant do when working remotely?

An Animal Consultant working remotely provides expert advice and guidance on animal behavior, care, welfare, and management via virtual means such as video calls, emails, or phone consultations. They may work with pet owners, zoos, farms, or animal-related businesses to solve issues related to animal training, health, and environment.

These skills ensure effective remote guidance, accurate assessments, and professional client relationships in a virtual environment.

What are some common challenges faced by remote animal consultants, and how can they be effectively addressed?

Remote Animal Consultants often face challenges such as building rapport with clients without in-person interactions, accurately assessing animal behavior through virtual means, and coordinating with local veterinarians or trainers. To address these, consultants can leverage video conferencing tools for thorough observations, maintain clear and consistent communication, and develop detailed guidelines for clients to follow at home. Staying updated on digital resources and collaborating closely with on-site professionals also helps ensure effective support for both animals and their owners.

The APC's professional team supports veterinarians and pet owners 24/7 using a proprietary database containing over four million cases. The APC is committed to protecting and improving the lives of animals through promotion of poison prevention and publication of new findings. The APC handles over 400,000 calls annually, providing assistance to hundreds of thousands of pets each year.
What You'll Do
The Consulting Veterinarian in Clinical Toxicology (CVCT) systematically gains toxicology knowledge through the APC's staged training and mentoring process. The CVCT plays a critical role at the APC managing cases regarding animals that have been exposed to potentially dangerous substances. The environment is fast paced, challenging, and loaded with support to help achieve success. The person in this position shares our expertise with veterinarians, animal owners, and others (e.g., law enforcement, etc.) who are involved in cases. In addition, the CVCT provides consultation for support staff, advising them in managing APC cases. The CVCT participates in other projects and events that are established to support APC work, further education, and enhance communication within the ASPCA.
The ASPCA supports our staff with career development. CVCTs may be eligible to sit for the American Board of Toxicology exam after 3 years and the American Board of Veterinary Toxicology exam after 3 years. In addition to toxicology board certification, the CVCT has career opportunities in a variety of departments and locations within the ASPCA.

  • Schedules are subject to change at the sole discretion of the ASPCA.
What You'll Get
Compensation
Starting pay for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to education, training, experience, location, business needs, internal equity, market demands or budgeted amount for the role. The target hiring range is for new hire offers only, and staff compensation may increase beyond the maximum hiring range based on performance over time. The maximum hiring range is reserved for candidates with the highest qualifications and relevant experience.
