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
