Our newly remodeled facility features two specialized departments: one focused on traditional veterinary medicine and the other on holistic and integrative care, including acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, and advanced natural treatments.

We are looking for a Veterinary Assistant (Conventional Service) whose primary home will be our traditional medicine department. Because we are a small hospital where most team members cross-train in multiple positions, you will also have the opportunity to work on our integrative/natural side, depending on interest, aptitude and demand.

  • Provide gentle, attentive care and handling of patients
  • Support routine animal care, including feeding, cleaning, and restraint as needed
  • Maintain clean, organized, and fully stocked exam and treatment areas
  • Assist with front desk and administrative responsibilities when needed
  • Work collaboratively with the team to support efficient clinic operations and excellent patient care

One Team, Cross-Trained

  • We are a small hospital, and most team members are cross-trained in multiple positions
  • You will have the opportunity to work in our integrative/natural department, depending on interest, aptitude and demand.
  • Cross-training may also include front desk, client services, and other roles throughout the hospital
  • Broad experience across departments helps you grow your skills, value and your career with us

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience in a veterinary or animal care setting preferred, but not required
  • Passion for animal health and a desire to learn and grow
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and compassionate team player
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Willingness to cross-train and assist wherever needed to support the team
  • Openness to learning about holistic and integrative veterinary care

Compensation & Benefits

  • $15–$20+ per hour, based on experience and production
  • Flexible full-time or part-time scheduling
  • Health insurance
  • Retirement options (401(k) with company match, or other Tax Advantaged Options)
  • Employee discounts on veterinary services and products
