Veterinary Assistant

Kittel Family Veterinary Practice in Elk Grove is looking to add an experienced Veterinary Assistant to our team. Currently, the office is open Monday-Friday; we are closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and all major holidays. Applicants should have at least 6 months of Veterinary Assistant experience with dogs and cats. Our practice atmosphere is very family-oriented and client focused, so we are looking for someone with a great bed-side manner who believes in client communication and individualized patient care.
Our practice sees and treats dogs, cats, rabbits and other small mammals. We will consider part-time or full-time applicants. Applicants should be confident in their skills to handle exam room appointments; fill prescriptions; assist with x-rays; monitor hospitalized patients; and perform patient restraint, blood draws, injections, and possibly IV catheter placement. We are a paper-light office with a computerized medical record system.
We believe that work should be some place you want to go, where you feel like part of a team, and are empowered and supported so you can do your job well. Come work at an office where you will be valued and appreciated and not just worked to your breaking point. Join our "family" and work with other team members who enjoy what they do. Position is available to start immediately.
