What Does a Veterinary Assistant Do?
Answer:
A veterinary assistant is someone who works
in a veterinary office or some other animal care facility but is not yet a licensed vet technician. Veterinary assistants act as support staff in a veterinary office, helping veterinarians and vet technicians.

A veterinary assistant might help during a procedure, but cannot perform any procedures or tests by themselves. Some duties of a veterinary assistant include charting, filing, making appointments, accepting payment, and weighing animals.

Someone might choose to become a veterinary assistant in order to get more experience in a veterinarian's office, either to find out if he or she enjoys working in the field of veterinary medicine, to gain experience on a resume, or to work up to becoming a vet tech. There are also many opportunities to volunteer as a veterinary assistant, which can be a first step towards exploring a veterinary career.
