Certified Veterinary Technician

Urgent Care Certified Veterinary Technician

Pet Stat Animal Urgent Care is looking to add a full time Certified Veterinary Technician to our growing team, now that our privately owned urgent care clinic is open in the Lehigh Valley and we are adding a 2nd clinic in the Stroudsburg area in Spring of 2027. At Pet Stat, we are committed to providing high quality medicine to our furry friends. We strive daily to uphold a supportive culture that values each associate's skill set and professional growth and we are eager to welcome a like minded individual to the team. We are actively looking for a CVT for our Bath location, but will also need staffing for our Stroudsburg location in the near future. We would consider hiring someone who would be willing to work at both, or start in Bath then relocate to Stroudsburg when it opens.
