Description
Overview:
Veterinary Assistant | Oregon, Wisconsin
You spend the morning learning to read a nervous Lab's body language before her nail trim, help prep a hunting dog for his pre-season checkup with one of our Hunt.Vet certified veterinarians, and by afternoon you're checking a rabbit's teeth for the first time; every day here teaches you something new. That's what training to become a Veterinary Assistant at Country View Veterinary Service looks like.
About the Practice
We've served Oregon, Wisconsin and the greater Madison community since 1999, and we grow our own. We're AAHA accredited, meeting a robust set of criteria that only about 15% of practices nationally are committed to, and we keep pace with the advancement of medicine by maintaining that accreditation. We're a certified Cat Friendly Practice, for real: we use feline-specific handling and housing so our whiskered patients (and the people who love them) have a calmer visit. Our handling philosophy is Fear Free-minded and low-stress throughout; we read body language and meet patients where they are, rather than forcing the moment. Not one, but two of our own DVMs are Hunt.Vet certified, always going the extra mile for working dogs in the Dane County hunting community, dogs with jobs hold a special place in our hearts. Whether you're pre-vet, pre-tech, or just exploring the field, our team of six DVMs loves to teach, and we'll help you build toward.

- Calm, low-stress visits for nervous patients, thanks to careful handling and clear communication
