  • Prepare and restock treatment areas with necessary supplies and ensure equipment is clean, organized, and readily available. 
  • Communicate compassionately with pet parents —answer basic questions, direct them to the appropriate team member, and offer a comforting presence during stressful times. 
  • Perform basic laboratory tasks , such as setting up samples for testing and collecting vital patient data under the guidance of a technician or veterinarian. 
  • Collaborate with emergency technicians and doctors , sharing crucial updates and contributing to an efficient, team-oriented work environment. 

We don’t just get through the workday; we embrace the challenges and triumphs that come with providing emergency care. You’ll be surrounded by professionals who share your commitment to excellence and a genuine passion for animal welfare.
