Other PerksAt Bond Vet, we believe the little things matter. We've designed our clinics and team experience to make everyday work life more comfortable, supportive, and fun.
    • A Fur-ever Home Feeling: A welcoming, supportive culture where people-and their pets-truly belong.
    • FIGS Scrubs Provided: Premium FIGS scrubs supplied by us and laundered in-clinic so you can focus on patients, not laundry.
    • Stocked Pantries: Snacks, drinks, and essentials always available to keep you fueled during shifts.
    • Weekend Team Lunch: Free lunch provided for clinic teams on weekends.
    • Stocked Bathrooms: Thoughtful essentials like pads, tampons, deodorant, hair ties, and other toiletries available when you need them.
    • Leadership That Sets Us Apart: Our leaders are hands-on, supportive, and invested in your growth.

What You'll Do
  • Patient handling and husbandry
  • Client education and partnership
  • Surgical and dental nursing, including anesthesia management
  • Diagnostic management and medication administration
  • Emergency triage and response
  • Detailed medical record keeping
  • Run appointments alongside assistants

You'll collaborate with veterinarians and nurses across the region, participate in monthly educational events, and use innovative technology - including AI-assisted tools and the Apple Vision Pro - that reduce administrative burden and enhance patient care.
What We're Looking For
  • 1+ year experience as a veterinary technician
  • CVT, RVT, LVT, or LVMT required.
