  • Maintain an understanding of common veterinary medical terms and abbreviations.
  • Cultivate a positive atmosphere, demonstrate a friendly and courteous attitude with all coworkers throughout the hospital to maintain a cohesive work environment.

  • Be able to perform physical duties like lifting and restraining animals as needed.

Our team is one that works hard but also laughs hard; appreciating that many hands and a smile make for light work. We are a hospital that cares strongly for our patients and for our staff. We want you to have fun both at and away from work.
