| Description | If you love animals, this is a perfect career for you. While many Veterinary Assistants are actively involved in office administration, their key responsibility is the compassionate care of animals.
Veterinary Assistants support veterinarians and technicians in their daily tasks by cleaning and maintaining equipment, feeding, exercising and grooming patients, preparing and sanitizing surgery suites, and restraining and handling patients. They are also actively involved in clerical and administrative work, including customer reception, records management, and scheduling appointments. | | |
