HEALTHCARE CAREERS VETERINARY ASSISTANT Veterinary Assistants play an important role – they support the veterinarian, vet technicians, and other clinic staff with the daily operations of the veterinary practice. This includes not only assisting during animal exams or emergency situations, but also performing general animal care and facility tasks, including feeding, grooming, cleaning cages/kennels, bathing, equipment sterilization, and examination room cleaning. Veterinary Assistants also handle administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments, following up with clients, keep up-to-date patient records, and working with pet insurance or clients for billing and payments. It is a central supporting role that helps make sure the office runs smoothly and that patients receive the care and attention they need.
