Veterinary Technician - Urgent Care

Description:
Are you a Veterinary Technician looking for a fast-paced, engaging environment that offers more variety and excitement than general practice—without the demands of overnight emergency medicine?

At Pieper Madison – Urgent Care located in Madison, CT, we offer the best of both worlds. We are seeking skilled, compassionate Veterinary Technicians who are passionate about patient care, eager to fully utilize their technical skills, and excited to be part of a collaborative, team-oriented culture. This is an opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals in a supportive environment where your contributions are valued, your growth is encouraged, and your work truly makes an impact every day.

At Pieper, our vision is simple: to make the community—and the animals and people happier and healthier. If that mission resonates with you, we would love the opportunity to connect.

What to Expect:

• Environment of Collaboration: Our hospital locations work closely together with each other as well as the Specialty/ER location in Middletown to provide the best possible care for the pets we see.
• Commitment to Continuing Education: We want to retain and develop our talent to the best of our ability. You can expect numerous in-house CE opportunities, and any mentoring available to support and achieve your goals.
• Career Advancement: We pride ourselves on recognizing top talent and strong work ethic and if you demonstrate those things, you can expect to be promoted from within.

About You:
At Pieper Veterinary, we believe exceptional veterinary medicine is built on teamwork, communication, and a shared commitment to patient care. Our Urgent Care team is seeking a skilled Veterinary Technician who thrives in a fast-paced environment, embraces challenges, and remains calm and focused when every minute counts.

The ideal candidate is a dependable team player who communicates effectively, adapts quickly to changing priorities, and takes pride in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to patients and clients alike. You are confident managing multiple cases simultaneously while maintaining accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail.

We are looking for a technician with strong technical skills, including venipuncture, IV catheter placement, laboratory sample collection, and anesthesia monitoring. Experience in urgent care, emergency medicine, CPR, and EzyVet is highly valued but not required. Most importantly, we seek individuals who are eager to learn, grow their clinical expertise, and contribute to a culture of collaboration and excellence.

At Pieper, every team member plays a vital role in patient outcomes. We value technicians who think critically, advocate for their patients, and confidently share observations and ideas that enhance patient care and strengthen the team. Your knowledge, experience, and voice will be respected—and your contributions will make a meaningful impact every day.
