Veterinary Assistant

Company Overview

Whole Pet Veterinary Hospital is a full-service small animal hospital devoted to offering holistic, evidence-based care in a warm, client-centered setting. From routine wellness exams to surgery, dentistry, and integrative therapies like acupuncture and herbal medicine, we aim to provide comprehensive care that respects each pet’s whole wellbeing.

We believe in building long-term relationships with both pet owners and their animals. When clients come to us during stressful times, our goal is to reduce anxiety, explain options clearly, and treat each patient with empathy and expertise. We strive to make every visit as transparent and supportive as possible.

Client education is integral to our approach. We take time to walk pet parents through our recommendationsâ€"whether conventional or holisticâ€"so they feel confident and active in their pet’s care. Clear communication and collaborative decision-making are foundational to our practice philosophy.

If you’re seeking to join a team where advanced care, compassionate service, and personal growth are all valued, we encourage you to apply today.
