🐾🐄 Job Title: Veterinary Assistant (Large and Small Animal - The Best of Both Worlds!)
📍 Location: Grass Lake Animal Hospital
⏰ Job Type: Part-time
💵 Pay: $17-$19/hour depending on experience
Who We Are:
We're a mixed animal veterinary practice where one minute you're cuddling a kitten, and the next you're dodging a cow's side-eye. Our team thrives on variety, teamwork, and a shared love for animals of all shapes and sizes.
The Role:
We're looking for a Veterinary Assistant who can switch from scrubs to mud boots without missing a beat. If you've got experience with both companion animals and livestock-and a sense of humor to match-you might be exactly who we need.
Your Day Might Include:
- Assisting vets with exams, treatments, and surgeries (clinic and farm calls!)
- Handling everything from wiggly puppies to 1,000+ lb livestock
- Prepping equipment, rooms, and mobile units
- Administering medications and vaccines under supervision
- Running lab samples and keeping medical records in order
- Keeping things clean and organized (or at least organized chaos)
- Talking with clients-from pet parents to farmers
What You Bring to the Table:
- Experience with both small and large animals (required)
- Confidence in animal handling-no matter the size
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work indoors/outdoors in all seasons
- A positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed
Why You'll Love This Job:
- Variety-you'll never be bored
- Competitive pay based on experience
- A fun, supportive team that works hard and laughs often
- Opportunities to learn and grow in both small and large animal medicine
- Daily dose of puppy kisses and fresh air
