Making Pet Patients Comfortable
A vet tech is typically the first person to see a patient when they visit our practice. Vet techs listen to clients’ concerns and make sure they get the help they need as quickly as possible.
In addition to taking care of clients and pet patients, veterinary techs must remain calm and professional while dealing with multiple tasks and daily interruptions. That’s why VetMed makes sure that those who take on one of our veterinary technician jobs can deal with emergencies while providing leadership and support to other staff members.
Responsibilities of Veterinary Technicians
All veterinary techs at Legacy Veterinary Group work under the direct supervision of a Veterinarian. When dealing with clients and pet patients, technicians must have the ability to distinguish between a routine call or one that requires triage emergency care.
At Legacy Veterinary Group, we look for individuals with a background that includes knowledge about different pet illnesses, an understanding of diagnostics, and insight into the medical needs of various animal breeds.
In addition to working with clients and patients, the daily duties of a veterinary technician can include:
- Keeping animal patients restrained during examinations, procedures, and treatments
