WANTED: VETERINARY TECHNICIAN 🐾 BECAUSE SUPERHEROES WEAR SCRUBS 🐾
Location: 2014 Linwood Drive, Paragould, Ar.
Employment Type:
Are you a skilled, compassionate Veterinary Surgery Technician who can monitor anesthesia, comfort nervous pets, educate pet parents, and still laugh when a Labrador suddenly forgets how to walk? If so, we’d love to meet you. We’re looking for a dedicated team member who is passionate about high-quality patient care, teamwork, and creating a positive experience for every pet and person who walks through our doors.
About Us
We’re a busy, friendly, slightly chaotic animal hospital where every day is different, coffee is practically a food group, and “cat wrangler” is absolutely a résumé-worthy skill. We believe in excellent medicine, strong teamwork, compassionate client education, and laughing through the occasional goat-in-the-waiting-room moment.
What You’ll Do
• Assist veterinarians during exams, surgeries, dentistry, and procedures, bonus points if you can do it while being stared down by a suspicious cat.
• Administer medications, vaccines, and treatments as directed by veterinarians.
• Monitor anesthesia and patient recovery like the calm, capable pro you are.
• Perform laboratory testing, including CBCs, blood chemistry, urinalysis, and cytology.
• Take diagnostic radiographs and assist with ultrasound procedures.
• Educate pet parents on preventive care, post-surgical care, treatment plans, and chronic illness management, ideally with fewer hand gestures than necessary, but we support your process.
• Maintain accurate medical records, drug logs, discharge instructions, and follow-up reminders, even when the handwriting looks like it came from a caffeinated squirrel.
• Clean, maintain, and organize equipment, instruments, and treatment areas so the clinic stays safe, efficient, and welcoming.
What We’re Looking For
• Current working experience as a Veterinary Surgery Technician required; credentialed technicians are encouraged to apply.
• Strong knowledge of animal handling, animal husbandry, and Fear Free techniques.
• Proficiency with laboratory procedures and equipment operation, including IDEXX.
• Ability to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, opinions, and dramatic flair.
• Excellent communication skills with humans and animals, bonus if you speak fluent “meow,” “woof,” or “please do not bite the thermometer.”
• A calm demeanor under pressure, especially when the pressure is a Great Dane sitting in your lap.
• A sense of humor, because some days laughter really is the best medicine.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
• Unlimited Cuddles Package: Daily access to puppies, kittens, and the occasional goat who thinks he’s a dog.
• Drama-Free Workplace: Unless you count the cat who just realized the thermometer is not a treat.
• Free Gym Membership: Also known as lifting 80-pound Labradors who suddenly forget how to walk.
• Fashion Forward: Rock scrubs with mysterious stains that double as conversation starters.
• Adrenaline Rushes Included: One minute you’re trimming nails, the next you’re dodging a parrot with trust issues.
• Instant Popularity: Friends may text you at 2 a.m. with blurry hamster photos asking, “Is this normal?”
• Real Job Satisfaction: Nothing beats sending a tail-wagging patient home healthy, except maybe the snacks in the break room.
Perks & Benefits
• Competitive pay
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Continuing education opportunities
• Staff pet care discounts, because your pets deserve VIP treatment too
• A supportive, team-focused environment where your skills, compassion, and commitment to patient care are valued
