Job Description

We are VCA Wyoming Animal Hospital in Albuquerque, NM. Our hospital is growing, and we are looking for a dedicated Veterinary Assistant to join our team of compassionate veterinary professionals. Our supportive team believes in collaborative care, a high-quality, low-stress environment for our patients and their families, and enjoys a shared passion for the human-animal bond.

If you are an experienced veterinary technician or veterinary assistant, we’d love to meet you!

Location: 2740 Wyoming Blvd NE #1, Albuquerque, NM 87111

Schedule: Full-Time, 40 hours

Salary: $ 17 -$ 23 per hour

We provide high-quality and compassionate care for all ages of dogs and cats; from routine wellness care, dentistry, and surgery, to treating and managing illness and injuries. We are here to help people take the best care of their pets

A day in the life of a vet tech/assistant at VCA Wyoming may look like:

Celebrating the adoption of a new puppy or kitten with a new owner and helping them make sure they and their pet get the best start together on a healthy and happy life.

Helping a client with an older pet navigate the changes they are seeing and the concerns they have. Or compassionately treating an injured pet to help give both the pet and the client some relief and peace of mind.

Working along with the doctors in managing cases to diagnose and treat pets of all ages. Assist in surgery or dentistry, both for preventative care and to treat more serious issues.

There are plenty of opportunities to squish the cheeks of the cutest puppy and cuddle the softest kitten. You may have to take a moment to give attention to our beloved clinic cat, Mr. Burns.

We encourage high-fiving your teammates after a job well done and giving support to each other after an emotionally challenging case.

We are looking for team members who can take quality history on a case, provide caring nursing care, are proficient in venipuncture and radiology, enjoy client communication and education, and are comfortable with running and monitoring anesthetic procedures.

Benefits: We offer competitive compensation along with a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and paid vacation/sick days, 401(k), generous employee pet discounts, and more for qualifying associates!
