Overnight Veterinary Assistant

Why join the Veterinary Assistant team at GVH?

Here at Grady Veterinary Hospital (GVH), we pride ourselves in providing a working atmosphere built in core values, a mission we all stand behind, and a purpose that drives our patient care.

We are very proud to be an accredited AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) member. Less than 15% of the small animal hospitals in North America can claim this distinction. We are not only accredited for our General Practice, we are AAHA Referral accredited, which is defined by AAHA as: A referral practice is one that your primary veterinarian will refer you to for more advanced and specific tests, procedures, surgeries, and/or second opinions. An AAHA-accredited referral practice is required to have board-certified veterinary specialists on staff. Board-certified specialists have graduated from veterinary school, completed several additional years in an internship and residency program, and have passed rigorous training and testing in specific areas, including surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, or neurology.

The distinction of an AAHA Referral Practice acknowledges our mission to provide the gold standard of care, driven by our commitment to AAHA standards. We foster an environment of growth and embrace the evolving industry of Veterinary Medicine.

Grady Veterinary Hospital is a 24-hour facility offering not only general practice during the day, but also internal medicine, a specialized surgeon, urgent care walk-ins, and we are always here for when emergencies arise. We seek the best in our facility with our state-of-the‑art equipment, allowing for optimum patient care and diagnostics. We value those who have invested themselves in Veterinary Medicine.
