Qualifications:

- Strong verbal communication skills
- Capability to handle, lift, and restrain animals
- Excellent problem-solving and organizational skills
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and remain adaptable in a fast-paced environment
- Genuine love for animals and a patient, compassionate attitude towards their human companions

At our practice, we truly value the power of individual contributions and personal connections. Being independently owned gives us the flexibility to implement the ideas and innovations of our staff, provide personalized care to our patients, and genuinely serve our community without corporate constraints.

Our benefits package is competitive and includes health and dental insurance, retirement plan, continuing education opportunities, an employee pet care discount, and measures to ensure a healthy work-life balance.
