    Job Title: Veterinary Assistant (Large and Small Animal – The Best of Both Worlds!)

    Location: Grass Lake Animal Hospital

    Job Type: Part-time
    Pay: $17-$19/hour depending on experience

    Who We Are:
    We’re a mixed animal veterinary practice where one minute you’re cuddling a kitten, and the next you’re dodging a cow’s side-eye. Our team thrives on variety, teamwork, and a shared love for animals of all shapes and sizes.

    The Role:
    We’re looking for a Veterinary Assistant who can switch from scrubs to mud boots without missing a beat. If you’ve got experience with both companion animals and livestock—and a sense of humor to match—you might be exactly who we need.

    Your Day Might Include:

    • Assisting vets with exams, treatments, and surgeries (clinic and farm calls!)

    • Handling everything from wiggly puppies to 1,000+ lb livestock

    • Prepping equipment, rooms, and mobile units

    • Administering medications and vaccines under supervision

    • Running lab samples and keeping medical records in order

    • Keeping things clean and organized (or at least organized chaos)

    • Talking with clients—from pet parents to farmers

    What You Bring to the Table:

    • Experience with both small and large animals (required)

    • Confidence in animal handling—no matter the size

    • Strong communication and teamwork skills

    • Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work indoors/outdoors in all seasons

    • A positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed

    Why You’ll Love This Job:

    • Variety—you’ll never be bored

    • Competitive pay based on experience

    • A fun, supportive team that works hard and laughs often

    • Opportunities to learn and grow in both small and large animal medicine

    • Daily dose of puppy kisses and fresh air

    If you’re ready for a career where every day is an adventure—from exam rooms to open fields—we’d love to meet you!
