- Diagnostics: Run in-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and cytology, take high-quality radiographs, and keep accurate records in Cornerstone.
- Teamwork: Explain treatment plans and discharge instructions to clients, work closely with doctors and staff, and help train assistants and newer team members. What We're Looking For
- 1–3+ years as a technician in small animal practice (required)
- CVT preferred, not required
- Proficiency in venipuncture, IV catheters, anesthesia monitoring, and radiology
- Clear communication, empathy, and a calm presence under pressure
- Dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to learning and high standards of care Benefits
- $18–$25/hr
- 401(k) with company match
- CE allowance
- Generous PTO and holiday pay
- Discounts on care for your own pets
- No overnights or unpredictable on-call hours Why Join Us?
