Job Description

Open 7 days a week from 2 PM – 10 PM, Animal Urgent Care of Bentonville is proud to provide fast and compassionate treatment for pets with urgent but non-life-threatening conditions, giving families more options when their pets need timely medical attention!

From minor wounds, limping, and back pain to vomiting, allergies, ear infections, and more, our team is dedicated to delivering prompt care and peace of mind. Equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house diagnostics, and triage capabilities, we are able to help clients quickly understand their pet’s condition and treatment options.

Our hospital works hard to fill the important space between general practice and emergency medicine. After support and stabilization from us, treated pets follow up with their primary vet, or are referred to Arkansas's largest ER and Specialty Hospital for those who need advanced procedures or critical care.

We’re looking for adaptable, team-oriented professionals who thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy seeing a wide variety of cases each day, and are passionate about providing high-quality care! In urgent care, no two shifts are the same- our ideal teammates are confident shifting gears at a moment’s notice depending on what walks through the door and are excited by the challenge and reward that comes with it.

If you’re looking to be part of a collaborative, energetic, and growing practice where you can make a real impact every shift, we’d love to meet you! Check out more information about us by clicking here!

Job duties include, but are not limited to:

Pet restraint, triage incoming patients, collection and analysis of lab samples, diagnostic imaging, management and nursing care of medical and hospitalized cases with varying degrees of stability, administration of medications, effective communication of treatment plans with clients, surgical preparation and assistance, and anesthetic management.

Must be able to withstand unpleasant odors and noises. May be exposed to bites, scratches, animal waste and potentially contagious diseases.

Whether you’re looking to just be a master of your role or trying to grow into that next career move, you’ll have opportunities through a variety of virtual and hands on, interactive training and continuing development.

Qualifications

We're looking for:

  • Minimum of 1 year of veterinary assistant experience preferred.
  • Confident and safe animal handling and restraint skills.
  • Compassionate, positive, and team-oriented attitude.
  • Strong communication and client service skills.
  • Ability to multitask and stay organized in a dynamic environment.
  • Comfortable adapting quickly as case flow and patient needs change throughout the shift.
  • Motivated self-starter with a desire to continue growing knowledge and clinical skills.
  • Passion for providing high-quality care to patients and support to pet owners during stressful situations.

Bonus Skills We Love!

  • Sample collection and laboratory processing.
  • Obtaining accurate patient histories.
  • Radiology experience.
  • Experience in urgent care or emergency veterinary medicine.
