The primary job for a veterinary assistant is to exceed our client's expectations with exceptional patient care. The assistant is the veterinarian's primary support. He/she is routinely entrusted with patient assessments, anesthesia, procedures and treatments. The assistant must be a detail-oriented person who can make good decisions, respond quickly and calmly to crises, and maintain high standards of patient care. Veterinary assistants need to communicate clearly with the doctors, other hospital personnel and clients to ensure that patients receive the care that they need. Veterinary assistants should enjoy working with diverse people and animals and be friendly and flexible in the face of varying expectations from clients and co-workers.
