Job Description

🐾🐄 Job Title: Veterinary Assistant (Large and Small Animal – The Best of Both Worlds!)

📍 Location: Grass Lake Animal Hospital

⏰ Job Type: Part-time
💵 Pay: $17-$19/hour depending on experience

Who We Are:
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.

The Role:
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.

Your Day Might Include:

• Assisting vets with exams, treatments, and surgeries (clinic and farm calls!)

• 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

What You Bring to the Table:

• Experience with both small and large animals (required)

• Confidence in animal handling—no matter the size

• Strong communication and teamwork skills

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work indoors/outdoors in all seasons

• A positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed

Why You’ll Love This Job:

• Variety—you’ll never be bored

• Competitive pay based on experience

• A fun, supportive team that works hard and laughs often

• Opportunities to learn and grow in both small and large animal medicine

• Daily dose of puppy kisses and fresh air
