About The Position

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. 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.

• 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

Benefits

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Opportunities to learn and grow in both small and large animal medicine
• Tailored development programs, mentorship, and career pathing
• Competitive pay
• performance bonuses
